“I’ve been seeing Eman since the summer 2023. So many therapists and psychiatrists said they’re not able to offer what I need to heal my traumas. I decided to search someone for myself. This was time that was so hard for me to even get up. Eman has been next to me since and It feels like a decade ago to think about how bad of a situation i was in. Eman is compassionate. She’s a good listener. If you’re looking for An EMDR therapist, and who genuinely cares for you and gets existed when you make a each step towards a better life and mind, Eman is the one.”

Getting to know Eman Said

I'm a licensed clinical social worker and a first-generation Muslim Arab woman, born and raised in New York City. My lived experience informs my clinical work in meaningful ways, I understand what it’s like to move between cultures, hold unspoken family expectations, and navigate the tension between individuality and belonging. I bring this awareness into the therapy room with humility, curiosity, and care. My approach is grounded in deep listening and empathy. I offer clients a space where they can be fully seen without having to explain themselves and where their inner world is met with respect, companionship, and a felt sense of safety. I work with adults navigating a range of life stressors, but many of my clients are women who’ve never felt truly heard, nurtured, or emotionally affirmed especially in childhood. Some have never been in a relationship, or are unsure how to move toward intimacy without shame, fear, or self-doubt. Others struggle with the impact of growing up in emotionally restrained households, where affection was withheld or love was conditional. In our work together, we explore these patterns gently but intentionally, allowing space for grief, insight, and healing. Clients often come to me feeling emotionally exhausted from living lives that have revolved around meeting everyone else's expectations. My goal is to help you reconnect with yourself and to learn how to be in a relationship without abandoning your needs, to express emotions without guilt, and to move through the world with more clarity and self-trust. While I offer the standard 50 minute session, I recognize that some stories take more time to unfold. For clients who would benefit from longer sessions, I offer extended format work after an initial evaluation period to ensure that it feels appropriate and sustainable.

What should a new client know about working with you?

I require a consultation call before moving forward to see if we are a good fit. While the majority of my work centers on women, I do provide space for men on a case-by-case basis following a thoughtful screening and assessment process. This period helps us determine whether we are a good clinical fit and whether the work would feel meaningful, appropriate, and effective for both of us. If you’ve rarely had the space to ask yourself what you need or if you're just starting to wonder what it might feel like to be deeply heard and understood, I’d be honored to walk alongside you in that exploration.

I have been seeing Eman for almost a year now, and I cannot recommend her enough to anyone seeking therapy. She is thoughtful, warm and open minded. She is conscientious of cultural sensitivities, which has been important to me for feeling heard and understood. I appreciate her ability to be communicative and non-judgmental, and the safe space she has built for me in our sessions.

I’ve been seeing Eman since the summer 2023. So many therapists and psychiatrists said they’re not able to offer what I need to heal my traumas. I decided to search someone for myself. This was time that was so hard for me to even get up. Eman has been next to me since and It feels like a decade ago to think about how bad of a situation i was in. Eman is compassionate. She’s a good listener. If you’re looking for An EMDR therapist, and who genuinely cares for you and gets existed when you make a each step towards a better life and mind, Eman is the one.
I’ve been told by many psychiatrists that they’re not equipped to help me. I met Eman during the time I couldn’t even get out of bed due to my severe trauma. It feels like a decade ago because I feel like a different person now. It was hard for me to open up after going through so many theraists but Eman, really helped me overcome my fear. If you’re looking for an emdr therapist who genuinely cares for you and gets excited for you when you make a step forward, Eman is the one. Shes compassionate and her session is so much more outstanding, than seeing someone from a big medical practice. You’ll never feel like just a number or work when you’re with Eman. Thank you deeply
I have really appreciated my sessions with Eman! She is kind, warm, empathetic and supportive. From the very beginning, her non judgmental approach has made me comfortable sharing even personal and difficult details without having to censor myself, which I deeply appreciate. Some of my sessions are talk therapy and others are EMDR and I have benefitted from them all. Given that we share the same religious background, we have also been able to incorporate aspects of faith into our therapy sessions and it has felt wonderfully inspirational rather than preachy. I am truly grateful to have found a therapist with whom I can be myself and work on bettering myself.
Eman was everything I’ve been looking for. She’s kind, a great listener and very welcoming. I look forward to our sessions in the future.

Eman is empowering, kind, and a fantastic listener. I am so happy I found her and did not give up on therapy after a bad experience with a different provider. I recommend her to everyone I know seeking therapy. She creates an inviting, safe, and comfortable environment during our sessions. She is professional, and you can tell she loves what she does, which is inspiring.
I am so blessed to have found Eman. I was working w/ a therapist for about a year, but not feeling fulfilled with our sessions. Even after our initial consultation, I knew Eman was a great fit for me. I have been seeing her for about 4 months now & she has completely changed my life. She is very knowledgable about the particular type of therapy we are doing & navigates the steps with such ease & warmth. She is extremely attentive, personable & respectful, but most of all, I really admire her real, down to earth nature. My mother passed a few weeks ago & we had a session in the midst of me planning the funeral & cleaning out her house. She gave me the option of taking a break from our normal therapy to allow me to vent & grieve. We even took a moment of silence together to honor my mother. She is kind & gentle, but can also give you tough love if you prefer that type of guidance. She allows you to lead, but guides you gracefully to find a healthy, positive space. Highly recommended!
Eman has been the best therapist I could have ever asked for! She is the highlight of my week, every week. She is such a great listener, and always knows the perfect questions to ask me to help me to question how I am feeling or why I may be thinking a certain type of way. Additionally, Eman creates such a safe space for me. I knew that after our first session, and she always knows how to provide you comfort even when you feel like things are out of control. I could not recommend a better therapist than Eman. I have found myself in a better place because of her, and I am excited to continue growing with her!
I appreciate Eman's approach to therapy because it always feels culturally inclusive. Culturally competent care was always a significant barrier for me to seek treatment. The care I receive from Eman helps positively challenge me to change my negative patterns of thinking and behaviors.
Eman Said has been my therapist for over a year now and I genuinely look forward to our appointments. I was looking for therapist who is a POC and was happy to find Eman, who is sensitive and knowledgeable in those areas. Eman would be a great therapist for anyone, no matter their background- but this was a bonus for me! I feel like Eman is a friend but also very professional and I can look to her for an unbiased advice. I would highly recommend Eman.
After years of being resistant to therapy, I finally sought professional support and it has been a transformative experience so far! I've definitely grown a lot during the past few months meeting with Eman. She has been thoughtful and validating but has also challenged thoughts or behaviors I have by encouraging me to practice different skills. She is a great listener and invests and cares about her clients! And if you're lucky, you might spot a cute kitty!
Eman is simply the best. She creates a safe, warm, and comfortable environment for all of her clients. I always feel like she deeply cares about the problems I come to her with during every session and actively listens to my concerns! It's also great that I can talk about spirituality and religious topics with her without fear of judgement. I highly recommend her to Muslims in the NYC area as she's one of the few Muslim clinicians I've been able to be truly honest with. Eman is patient and so kind, and I'm very grateful to have found her.
Eman is the best counselor I have had in decades. She prepares me with a plan to use should I need help, and it has worked every single time. I feel like I have such better control over emotions than ever before. They used to control me. Eman is beyond professional and courteous. I tell her things I haven’t told other counselors in the past because she makes me feel so comfortable. I trust her, which is huge. I highly recommend Eman Said for anyone looking for a counselor. Her calm nature is also very.helpful.
Eman has been such a big help for me! She has created such a safe, judgement-free space for me and I leave our sessions feel seen and listened to. She’s responsive and is excellent at communicating. I have learned so much from her!!
