About Ghalia Alkassir
I am a Licensed Professional Counselor Candidate who believes that therapy should be a place where people feel genuinely seen, heard, and accepted. I take a person-centered approach to counseling, recognizing that every individual brings a unique set of experiences, strengths, values, and challenges into the therapy room.
I work with teens, young adults, and adults experiencing a wide range of concerns, including ADHD, depression, anxiety, eating disorders, life transitions, identity development, and self-esteem challenges. I have a particular interest in working with individuals who have been diagnosed with ADHD later in life or who suspect they may have ADHD and are trying to better understand themselves and their experiences. I also enjoy supporting clients who are struggling with binge eating disorder or a difficult relationship with food and body image. I also largely work with clients who identify as Muslims or are part of the SWANA/MENA communities.
My approach integrates evidence-based practices, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and trauma-informed care, while remaining flexible and responsive to each client’s individual needs. I also largely apply culturally sensitive practices to my therapeutic modalities. I believe meaningful change happens within the context of a strong therapeutic relationship and strives to create an environment that feels collaborative, compassionate, and empowering. Furthermore, I am trained in Islamically Integrated Therapy and use that with my Muslim clients who may be looking for mental health support.
As a therapist, I am mindful of the ways culture, faith, family dynamics, and lived experiences can shape mental health. I am committed to providing culturally responsive care and values creating a space where clients from diverse backgrounds feel understood and respected.
Whether you are navigating a major life transition, feeling stuck in familiar patterns, or simply looking for support and greater self-understanding, I am honored to walk alongside you on your journey toward healing and growth!
