Nada Elawdan, MHC-LP

I aim to create a safe, healing environment for individuals of diverse racial and cultural backgrounds, sexual orientations, gender identities, religions, and body sizes. I work with individuals and couples navigating through life transitions, self-esteem, racial/ethnic identity, LGBTQ+ identity concerns, relationships, and trauma.

Every therapeutic journey is unique, and everyone deserves a space to heal, recharge, and feel empowered to tell their story. In this fast-paced world, therapy allows you to take a moment to slow down, gain insight, and cultivate the confidence to become the most authentic version of yourself.

You are the expert of your own life, and I am here to work with you. I do so by creating an accepting environment where you feel understood, seen, and listened to. Please call or message our office today with any questions, or to schedule your first appointment.

Should You Try Therapy?

Should you try therapy? If you are considering therapy it is important to understand a little bit about the process first. The therapeutic process can feel confusing and sometimes overwhelming.

Why Does Therapy Take So Long?

To those unfamiliar with the therapeutic process, the concept of therapy can appear mystifying. In the earlier therapy sessions, I am often asked “how long will this last?” or “when will I begin to see progress?”. It is difficult to estimate therapeutic progress so soon. Only time will tell what…
