I'm Sakinah Freeman, a licensed clinical social worker with over 10 years of experience supporting adults through grief, trauma, substance use, and major life transitions. I offer a safe, nonjudgmental space where you can process what you've been through, reconnect with your strengths, and move toward healing. If you're feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or unsure what's next, I'd love to help you take the first step.
My approach is holistic, person-centered, and strength-based. I draw on evidence-based methods like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Trauma-Focused CBT, Narrative Therapy, and Motivational Interviewing to meet you where you are, paying close attention to how grief, trauma, and substance use show up in your day-to-day life. Sessions are collaborative: together we'll process difficult experiences, build healthy coping skills, and help you reconnect with your authentic self, at a pace that feels right for you.
Your first session is a chance for us to get to know each other, with no pressure to share more than feels comfortable. We'll talk through what brought you here, what you're hoping for, and how we can work together moving forward. You don't have to navigate this alone. By the end of our first conversation, I want you to feel heard, understood, and a little lighter, with a clear next step toward the life you're working toward.
