Getting to know Ghada Sharabatee
Ghada Sharabatee, MSW, LCSW, earned her Master’s Degree in Social Work and Psychology from Dominican University in 2013. She is a licensed clinical social worker and mental health therapist with extensive experience providing individualized, evidence-based mental health services to children, adolescents, adults, couples, and families.
Ghada utilizes a variety of evidence-based and strengths-focused approaches tailored to each client’s individual needs, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Strengths-Based Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, Family and Marital Therapy, and therapeutic coaching. Her clinical experience includes working with individuals experiencing depression, anxiety, life transitions, relationship difficulties, work-related stress, and burnout. She also assists eligible clients with mental-health-related Short-Term Disability (STD) and FMLA documentation when clinically appropriate.
Ghada has extensive experience working with court-involved and family-related matters, including divorce, separation, high-conflict family dynamics, parent-child relationship concerns, child alienation concerns, and reunification therapy. She works collaboratively with attorneys, Guardians ad Litem (GALs), and other professionals involved in family-law matters to support therapeutic goals and promote constructive resolution while maintaining appropriate clinical boundaries.
She also has specialized training and experience working with individuals affected by domestic violence and elder abuse, providing a supportive and trauma-informed environment focused on safety, empowerment, and recovery.
What should a new client know about working with you?
One of Ghada’s strengths is her commitment to providing culturally responsive and culturally sensitive care. She recognizes that each individual’s cultural background, family values, traditions, and life experiences can significantly influence their mental health and relationships. She welcomes clients from diverse cultural, ethnic, and social backgrounds and strives to create an environment in which every client feels respected, understood, and supported.
Ghada’s therapeutic philosophy is grounded in the belief that each person is the expert on their own story. She works collaboratively with clients to identify their strengths, develop practical coping strategies, overcome challenges, and create meaningful and sustainable change.
Seeking therapy can take courage, and Ghada believes that reaching out for support is an important first step toward creating a healthier, more fulfilling life. Her role is to provide guidance, support, and empowerment while helping clients recognize their own strengths and capacity for growth.
My approach is warm, collaborative, and culturally sensitive. I believe you are the expert in your own story, and my role is to provide support, guidance, and practical tools to help you navigate challenges and create meaningful change. I tailor therapy to your individual needs and goals, using evidence-based approaches while creating a safe, respectful, and nonjudgmental environment.
What is your typical process for working with clients?
Typically begin by getting to know you, understanding your concerns, and identifying your goals for therapy. Sessions are collaborative and may include talk therapy, exploring thoughts and emotions, identifying patterns, and learning practical coping strategies. I tailor evidence-based approaches to your individual needs and regularly check in on your progress to ensure therapy remains helpful and goal-focused.
