Hi, I’m Asma Alqahtani, a clinical social worker and mother. I immigrated to the United States from the Middle East, and my personal experiences have shaped the way I connect with and support others. I have been working in social work since 2017, with experience supporting children, families, and adults, particularly individuals navigating substance use and other life challenges. My approach to therapy is compassionate, supportive, and practical. I believe therapy is not only about talking through challenges, but also about understanding yourself, developing new skills, and applying those tools in everyday life. I meet my clients where they are while also encouraging growth, accountability, and meaningful change. I enjoy working with clients who are open to self-reflection and willing to take an active role in their healing and personal development. My goal is to create a space where you feel heard, respected, and comfortable being yourself, while also helping you identify patterns, build on your strengths, and work toward the life you want. As a mother and an immigrant, I understand that life can come with unique transitions, responsibilities, and challenges. I bring empathy, cultural awareness, and real-life perspective into my work with each client. Whether you are struggling with relationships, substance use, life transitions, or simply feeling stuck, I’m here to help you move forward at your own pace.

I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor with extensive experience supporting individuals across the lifespan, including adolescents, adults, couples, families, and older adults. I specialize in helping clients who are struggling with anxiety, trauma, emotional overwhelm, relationship challenges, and life transitions, and who are seeking both relief and deeper understanding of themselves. Clients often describe me as warm, grounded, and easy to talk to, while also thoughtful and direct when helping them identify patterns that may be keeping them stuck. My approach is collaborative and compassionate, with a strong focus on helping clients feel emotionally safe while also gently encouraging insight, reflection, and meaningful change. In my work, I integrate cognitive behavioral therapy, mindfulness-based strategies, trauma-informed care, and psychodynamic principles. This allows me to support both present-day symptom relief and deeper exploration of long-standing emotional and relational patterns. My clinical background includes many years of work in community mental health in New York City, where I provided care to diverse and underserved populations. I also have experience in inpatient psychiatric settings supporting individuals during acute crises, as well as involvement in psychiatric research, which strengthened my foundation in evidence-based and clinically grounded care. At the core of my work is the belief that people are not defined by their symptoms or their past experiences. Instead, therapy is a space to better understand yourself, shift long-standing patterns, and build a more grounded, connected and intentional life.

Life can sometimes feel overwhelming. You may be struggling with anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship concerns, substance use, or simply feeling like you no longer have control over your life. You may know that you want things to change but feel unsure about where to begin. That is where therapy can help. I believe therapy should be a safe space where you feel comfortable being honest about what you are experiencing without fear of judgment. My personality is warm, compassionate, understanding, and straightforward. I will meet you where you are while also encouraging you to look more closely at the thoughts, behaviors, and patterns that may be keeping you from moving forward. I am here to support you, but I also want to help you recognize your own strength and ability to create change in your life. I have extensive training in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy. I also use different therapeutic approaches based on who you are, what you have experienced, and what you need from therapy. I understand that therapy is not one size fits all, so our work together will be tailored to your individual needs, culture, identity, strengths, and goals. Both my personal and professional experiences have taught me that healing is not always easy or straightforward. It takes honesty, patience, self compassion, and a willingness to do the work. You do not have to have everything figured out before starting therapy. You simply need to be willing to begin. Together, we will identify what may be keeping you stuck, develop healthier ways to manage life’s challenges, and work toward the life you truly want. We will work together to help you become more intentional with your life and mindful with your healing.

I'm a Licensed Mental Health Counselor with about 7.5 years experience in private practice based in the New York area. My work centers on helping burnt-out, high-functioning adults navigate anxiety, depression, and ADHD- often clients who are used to holding things together and are looking for support through a difficult transition or a period where the usual coping strategies have stopped working. My approach blends structure with genuine curiosity. I focus on understanding what's actually driving a client's stress or symptoms, rather than applying a one-size-fits-all framework, and I try to make space for clients to feel truly heard while also building practical tools they can use between sessions. If you're feeling stretched thin, stuck in a pattern you can't quite shake, or just not sure where to start, I'd be glad to talk through whether we're a good fit.

This is where you can expect your therapist to do the same as they will ask questions to gain insight into your specific situation. In this first session the therapist is doing their part to gather as much information so they can better assess if they are able to meet your therapeutic needs.
