Shahima Samad

In my years of experience as a Licensed Mental Health Counselor, I have worked with individuals who were dealing with substance use, conflict with family, consequences of serious trauma, mood disorders, etc. One of the things I have always strived to do with my clients is work with them to acquire tools that can help them to not only become more self-aware but to use that self-awareness in order to make better decisions in life. Sometimes it helps to have someone listen to you who has had the training and experience of working with other individuals who have faced similar issues.

I have more of an eclectic approach as I assess you to see what you require in the moment. I believe that in order to resolve any issues or reach any goal, one has to identify the underlying thoughts that may be acting as a barrier. Resolving any underlying issues can help you to achieve more long lasting solutions.

I start off with a free 15 minute consultation to see if this will be the right fit. If you then decide to move forward, we can then set up an intake session where we discuss goals and history that can help formulate a treatment plan.
