I have practiced as a psychotherapist for over ten years providing evidence based techniques. I specialize in working with adolescent, teens, young adults and parents. I am trained in using Cognitive Behavior Therapy. I believe that we are resilient and we can overcome the most adverse situations. I also believe that optimism helps us better cope with our situations. It is my goal to help you increase your resilience and to equip you with the necessary skills to experience your best life.
My hope is to walk alongside you throughout this journey of progress and development to achieve your goals and aspirations. I believe in you and your journey to success; whether through mountains, valleys, or flats. I'm here to utilize my training, your motivation, and our collaboration to create the change you want to see within yourself and your life.
I enjoy working with teens, couples & families, especially in the BIPOC community. I use a variety of types of therapy including CBT, trauma informed CBT, DBT, and other evidence-based therapies.. I have experience in multiple disciplines of therapy including Substance Abuse, Inpatient Therapy, Community Therapy, Crisis Treatment, Talk therapy, Family counseling, Parenting Support, and more. I utilize a client centered approach to therapy, integrating clients needs and motivation with my therapeutic skills and expertise to achieve goals and create desired progress.
Hi! I'm Hira (he-rah) and I am looking forward to the opportunity of working with you as your next (or maybe first!) therapist. I am currently licensed and accepting virtual appointments in the states of Georgia and California. As a licensed therapist/counselor, my goal is to work with struggling adults and young adults dealing with depression, anxiety, and trauma in order to help them experience emotions in a more complete and effective way. When working with me, you can expect to feel heard, gain insight and perspective, and leave feeling empowered and supported.
Welcome — I'm Glad You're Here.
I believe that you are the expert on your own story, and that you already have the strengths within you to navigate life’s challenges. My role is to help you reconnect with those strengths and support you in creating lasting, meaningful change.
I’m a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with over 20 years of experience working with individuals from all walks of life. I hold a Master’s degree in Counseling from Marshall University Graduate College, and since then, I’ve dedicated my career to helping people heal, grow, and thrive.
I’m also a Master Addiction Counselor (since 2005), a Certified Mindfulness and Meditation Teacher, and an EMDRIA-Certified EMDR therapist.
Life experiences can affect our mood, mental well-being, physical health and emotional stability. They can shake our confidence and self-esteem. There is hope!
