Getting to know Ahlam Axelrod
Hi there, I'm Ahlam!
Hello, my name is Ahlam Axelrod, LMFT 105395. Life can be challenging and overwhelming. When you experience communication deficits in your relationships, question your self-worth or place in this world, and become preoccupied with others' approvals, it can feel like you are stuck and alone. These thoughts and feelings can lead to self-doubt, lack of motivation, anxiety, depression, or dissatisfaction in your relationships with yourself and others. I am here to support you through these times and help guide you in developing the life you deserve and want to live.
My approach
My goals are to help you identify challenges, get you back on track, and assist you in the work to make changes that achieve your goals. I am committed to working collaboratively with you to accomplish what you want for yourself. I employ an eclectic therapeutic approach, including Client-Centered Therapy, Strength-Based, Diversity and Cultural Competency, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Psychodynamic Therapy, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, Solution-Focused Therapy, Somatic/Mindfulness, and Trauma-Focused Therapy.
My focus
I have over 12 years of experience working with young and older female clients who face low self-esteem, identity crises, career choices, interpersonal and personal relational problems, cultural expectations and diversity, and family conflict. These challenges often lead to anxiety, depression, emotional dysregulation, job loss, divorce, parent/child relational problems, eating disorders, and self-defeating thought patterns.
My communication style
As a therapist, providing a warm and safe environment for my clients is my top priority. I practice a non-judgmental attitude and offer an inviting atmosphere, respecting and accepting all walks of life, knowing we all have a special role in our world. My goal is to provide comprehensive, compassionate care tailored to each individual's unique needs.
