CLINICAL SUPERVISOR & LICENSED MENTAL HEALTH COUNSELOR

Amar Husain

I work best with young professionals who are struggling professionally or in their personal relationships and feel stuck.

 

A message from Amar

Taking the first step to start therapy can feel intimidating. You may not be sure what you should be looking for in a therapist, or you might feel that no one is really able to help you. All these feelings are normal.

My approach to therapy is to create a supportive and compassionate space that will allow us to challenge and explore patterns of behavior, relationship dynamics, thoughts and experiences, while allowing healing to occur on the path to achieving your therapeutic goals.

Each individual’s path to healing is different. My background in Family Trauma Therapy gives me a unique approach. I use various therapeutic modalities that are person-centered and trauma-informed. I have experience treating adults from diverse cultural backgrounds having a range of concerns. I am also bilingual in Arabic and English.
