Do you feel like you are being held back because of a depressed mood, anxious feelings, or past trauma? Are you uncomfortable with being vulnerable, and trusting others? Are you struggling with shame or guilt? Imagine having meaningful relationships, feeling confident, and having more control over your life. What would that look like? If this interests, you then feel free to schedule an intake or a consultation. I am glad you found my page and would love to connect with you. I am not here to judge you! My job is to create a safe, non-judgmental space to guide and support you as you work on creating the path you want to take.
In our first session together, here's what you can expect
In our first session, you can expect to come ready to assess the issue. I’ll be asking questions like what brings you in and how long has it been going on? I’ll also ask about childhood trauma and do any necessary assessments based on behavioral health symptoms witnessed or described by the new perspective patient. Clients can expect to feel heard, understood, and empowered as well as walk away with skills to manage negative emotions and impulses. I enjoy helping my clients solve their problems by educating them on methods or skills that will help to stop worry, calm anxiety, improve mood, and end patterns of negative thinking.

Trauma-Focused CBT
I enjoy assisting patients with identifying any unhelpful beliefs or unhelpful coping strategies that they have picked up as a result of their trauma. These points of view need to be replaced with reality based and helpful beliefs.
Narrative
I always interview every patient or client about their entire life in order to have historical context and understanding about how they became who they are.
Dialectical Behavior (DBT)
I used dialectical behavioral therapy to assist the client or patient in building adaptive and helpful coping strategies to replace unhelpful or male adaptive coping strategies.
Culturally Sensitive Therapy
It is impossible to assist any client or patient without acknowledging their intersectional experiences including race, culture, ethnicity, spirituality, and sexual orientation. I don't believe in value judgments, or assuming one particular value system is superior to others.

I've done two sessions with Dr. Imani now and already I feel like I've made incredible strides. They're very genuine and authentic, they've helped me put things together about myself that i would've never taken the time to realize, and I'm genuinely looking forward to more sessions with them! If you want direct, no nonsense help that challenges and empowers you to do better for yourself, I couldn't recommend anyone else more! :)

Imani takes the time to explain and connect every step of the process, often explaining the connections she's seeing throughout the session. Every session feels grounding and informative, she provides reassurance and resources to help guide and correct an unhealthy way of thinking. She is incredibly kind and patient, and does an excellent job creating a safe and productive space. I am grateful to have found someone who cares so much about what they do.
