My name is Faria Alamkhel. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW 119438) based in Alameda County, California working with clients statewide via telehealth. I obtained my master's degree from Stanislaus State in Social Work with an emphasis in Child Welfare. I have more than 6 years of experience working with children, adolescents, and adults who are experiencing life transition, grief, stress, anxiety, and depression.

What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?

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 plan for us to work through in follow-up sessions.

Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.

In working with you, I provide a safe, warm, and nonjudgmental therapeutic environment. I believe that every human being has an inner wisdom, and I use evidence and strengths-based approaches to help us tap into your inherent ability to heal, thrive, and live with inner peace. As part of my approach, I seek to gently uncover the thoughts, feelings, and dynamics that may keep you stuck in some aspect of your life. I believe in the mind-body connection and honor a holistic approach to your healing journey.
