Great to meet you!

My name is Jamilah Akbar. I have practiced in the field for over 17 years. I graduated from Roosevelt University, in Chicago, IL with a Master's degree in psychology.

My approach to therapy

I utilize an eclectic approach in treatment, specializing in family dynamics, life, grief, and psychological issues. I work with clients to guide you through life's challenges with confidence and care. I believe our work together should be a kind and compassionate journey that is tailored specifically to what you need.

What you can expect from me

In your first session, you can expect a warm, judgment-free space where you can simply breathe and be exactly who you are. We will move at your pace, taking the time to gently explore what brings you to therapy and what you hope to achieve.

My goal is to create a safe, and inviting space where your well-being truly comes first. It is my aim to empower you, helping you uncover your own inner strength to build the life you deserve.
