Naimah Halim
Hello, I am a Licensed Professional Counselor - LPC in the state of Michigan. I have dedication, passion and experience practicing nearly 20 years in Behavioral Health, Care Management, and Career Counseling. I have a Master’s degree in Counseling with Specialty in Rehabilitation and Community Inclusion, along with Certification in Care Management all of which have given me opportunity to gain focus and expertise in advocating and providing Interventional Counseling and Therapeutic services for individual, families, students, and communities within diverse ethnic, cultural and socioeconomic backgrounds.
First session
In our first session together, we'll start with brief introductions, then dive into the specific challenges you're facing. This will help me create a tailored plan for us to work through in follow-up sessions.
Strengths
Having worked with adults and elderly adults for the past 20 years, I've developed a tried-and-true playbook for helping you identify the root cause of your challenges and create a tailored plan that leads to measurable progress.
Ideal clients
I love providing therapeutic services for adults, including elderly adults dealing with Depression and Anxiety. I also enjoy providing Career Counseling for young-adults who are in the first few years of seeking or building their careers. All of my clients are eager to improve, but may not yet have the tools needed to develop self-strengths and coping skills which often leads to individuals feeling stuck, feeling low moods, feeling anxious, and feeling overwhelmed.
Treatment methods
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
I have nearly 20 years of experience providing CBT-Cognitive Behavioral Therapy counseling interventions. CBT is a therapeutic model that helps people identify, adjust, and change negative or irrational thoughts and beliefs. This is an important and successful therapeutic model used in my practice because it allows room for clients to be active participants in their therapy. The therapist and client both approach therapy as a partnership and share in decision-making.
Solution-Focused Brief Treatment
I have extensive experience with the use of Solution Focused Therapy providing guidance that helps clients center therapeutic sessions on Action Planning aimed at setting and achieving short and long-term goals. Solution Focused Therapy is goal-directed with sessions that focus on helping clients change their overall state of health by actively creating solutions to problems that brought them to seek therapy. I collaborate with clients in identifying goals reflective of the best hope for improved quality of life and satisfying solutions.
Mindfulness-Based Therapy
I have a well-rounded, broad experience with Mindfulness Based Therapy incorporating this therapeutic approach in my practice to help clients develop and manage present-moment awareness and other mindfulness practices such as breathing exercises and meditation. Mindfulness is a type of talk therapy that focuses on learning how to be more aware to reduce automatic responses, along with being aware of internal thoughts, feelings, and emotions, as well as external surroundings and situations, without automatic responses such as judgment or stress.
