Nada Elawdan, LMHC

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.

Have you found yourself stuck in unhealthy patterns or a negative mindset? In a city that never sleeps, it can feel easy to lose yourself when your thoughts are too preoccupied with meetings, schedules, and deadlines. Therapy allows you to take a moment to slow down, gain new insights, and connect back with your most authentic self. My approach to counseling is very personable and collaborative. 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.

I aim to create a safe pace for individuals of diverse racial and cultural backgrounds, sexual orientations, gender identities, religions, and body sizes. Healing through therapy allows for growth and self-compassion at your own pace. Although you cannot change your past, trauma does not have to define you. It is time to put yourself first to finally understand what you are feeling, where it is coming from, and how to manage it best.

Please call or message our office today with any questions, or to schedule your first appointment.
