Getting to know Attiya Awadallah
Attiya Awadallah is a licensed and board-certified creative arts therapist specializing in anxiety, panic, trauma, emotional overwhelm, and life transitions. She integrates EMDR, somatic therapy, art therapy, CBT, mindfulness-based approaches, and solution-focused techniques into her unique and transformative work with clients.
With extensive experience working with young adults and adults, Attiya provides a personalized, goal-oriented approach that helps clients move beyond survival mode and create meaningful, lasting change. She works with individuals who may appear high-functioning on the outside while privately struggling with overthinking, emotional dysregulation, self-doubt, relationship patterns, unresolved trauma, or chronic stress.
What makes her approach unique is the integration of art therapy alongside EMDR and somatic work. Sometimes emotions and experiences are difficult to fully process through words alone. Creative approaches can provide another pathway for insight, emotional processing, nervous system regulation, and healing, especially for clients who feel stuck in their heads or disconnected from themselves.
Attiya believes therapy should feel supportive, collaborative, and effective. Her work focuses on helping clients better understand themselves, process difficult experiences, regulate emotions, build confidence, and feel more present and connected in their daily lives.
What should a new client know about working with you?
Attiya specializes in helping adults and young adults who feel stuck, overwhelmed, emotionally exhausted, anxious, or unsure how to move forward. Many of her clients are balancing careers, relationships, caregiving responsibilities, or major life transitions while struggling internally with panic, overthinking, perfectionism, people-pleasing, or unresolved experiences from the past.
Her approach is supportive yet structured, combining emotional exploration with practical tools and evidence-based treatment approaches that help clients create real shifts in how they feel and function. Sessions may incorporate EMDR, somatic approaches, mindfulness, or art therapy depending on each client’s needs and goals.
Clients often appreciate that therapy with Attiya feels active, engaging, and collaborative. She is not the type of therapist who simply sits back and nods through sessions. Along with emotional support and validation, she offers honest feedback, insight into patterns, practical tools, and guidance that helps clients move forward and make meaningful changes in their lives.
Many clients come to therapy feeling tired of repeating the same cycles, carrying emotional weight alone, or feeling like they have insight into their struggles but still don’t know how to actually change them. Therapy focuses on helping clients better understand themselves, process emotions more deeply, and feel less overwhelmed in their daily lives.
What is your typical process for working with clients?
Therapy begins with getting to know you as a whole person, not just a list of symptoms. Early sessions focus on understanding what has been weighing on you, the patterns that keep showing up, what feels emotionally difficult right now, and what you want to change moving forward.
Sessions are collaborative and tailored to your needs. Depending on what you’re struggling with, therapy may include EMDR, mindfulness, somatic techniques, art therapy, or practical strategies to help regulate emotions, reduce anxiety and panic, improve self-awareness, and shift long-standing patterns.
Attiya’s approach goes beyond simply talking about problems. The focus is on helping clients process experiences more deeply, feel less overwhelmed, gain clarity, and build lasting emotional change that carries into daily life and relationships.
