Tamer Mostafa

Welcome! I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with nearly 10 years of experience in disability rights, substance use recovery, community health, and LGBTQIA+ centered care. I believe in person-centered approaches to understand the role stories play in shaping our everyday lives. My work allows us to deconstruct how stories show up in the form of anxiety, stress, depression, and trauma. Together, we will harness your ideas, skills, beliefs, and experiences to reclaim the story you want to live.

Therapy with me is most driven by empathy, direct and honest communication, and intentionality. At the end of each session, I actively seek your feedback on how our time together can be improved or modified to better meet your needs. This open-door policy helps me privilege your needs and support the deep, lasting change you wish to make. Therapy is an investment of your time, energy, and resources, so I genuinely strive to earn your trust and help achieve the possibilities that you desire.

It is my sincerest intention not to reproduce any prior harm that you may have incurred in prior health settings. Therefore, in our first session (and all subsequent sessions), I normalize feedback-informed treatment so that you feel safe to provide input about the therapeutic process, our working relationship, and your overall wellbeing. From there, we’ll explore the themes that are coming up for you and create a plan for future sessions that is individualized and tailored to your goals.
