Lamya Nur

I am a Licensed Mental Health Therapist and Nationally Certified Counselor committed to providing culturally responsive, trauma-informed care. Fluent in English, Arabic, and Tigrinya, I offer evidence-based therapy to individuals and couples from diverse backgrounds, supporting concerns such as trauma, depression, anxiety, anger management, and major life transitions.

With advanced training in trauma-focused modalities, I work compassionately with individuals navigating deep emotional wounds, creating a safe, supportive, and non-judgmental space for healing and growth. I am especially experienced in supporting clients through grief, interpersonal violence, immigration-related stress, incarceration, marital challenges, and the long-term impact of war and displacement.

I honor the cultural identities that shape each person’s lived experience and approach each client with respect, sensitivity, and collaboration. Together, we work to strengthen emotional resilience, build practical coping tools, and support meaningful, lasting change in your well-being.

In therapy, it’s not just about talking through problems but gaining tools to actively address them. Here’s how these elements come together:

1. Deeper Understanding: By reflecting on thoughts and emotions, you can identify patterns, underlying fears, or core beliefs that influence their actions. This self-awareness is crucial for personal growth.
2. Actionable Strategies: Therapy isn’t just about talking—it’s about transforming those talks into real-world actions. Techniques like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), mindfulness, or solution-focused approaches can provide practical strategies for dealing with stress, anxiety, or depression.
3. Validation and Support: It’s empowering to feel seen and heard, especially when someone can validate your emotions and experiences without judgment. This creates a foundation of trust.
4. Self-Awareness: Increasing awareness of your emotional responses and thought patterns allows you to make conscious choices rather than reacting out of habit. This can help with everything from decision-making to emotional regulation.
5. Coping Mechanisms: Therapy offers you tools like breathing exercises, thought reframing, or grounding techniques that can help someone handle stress, anxiety, or difficult emotions in real time.
6. Empowerment: Ultimately, the goal is to help you feel more in control of your life. Empowerment means understanding that you have the capacity to influence your outcomes, whether by changing behavior, setting boundaries, or practicing self-compassion.
