Getting to know Ginneh Akbar

Life burning down around you? Cool, grab a seat. Cry, laugh, drop a few F-bombs. You’re safe here. Welcome to therapy! I’m a therapist a professor, and a real human who’s lived through real things. I don’t do this work from a distance. I’ve moved through anxiety and depression. I’ve grieved the loss of people I love. I’ve gone through divorce. I’m raising a child with special needs… and all of that shapes how I show up for you. In my therapy space, we slow down. We breathe. We talk honestly. We laugh sometimes. We grieve sometimes. And we make room for the parts of you that you’ve had to hide to survive. I’m a licensed psychotherapist with 20 years of experience, and I’ve dedicated my career to walking alongside children, teens, adults, and families, especially those impacted by trauma. My experiences are around helping people heal from anxiety, burnout, perfectionism, and complex family dynamics. I bring a unique combination of clinical expertise, academic training, and lived experience to the therapy space. My goal is to help clients move into a life that feels grounded, balanced, and true to who they are. I’m passionate about creating a safe, affirming space where people can heal, grow, and feel seen. Therapy should reflect your inner world and the world you live in, so I bring a progressive, social justice-rooted perspective to my work. I see you as a whole person through a bio-psycho-social-cultural-spiritual lens. I am fat-positive, sex-positive, kink-friendly, and identity-affirming. I am client-centered and strengths-based. Going to therapy can be scary. You’re pouring your life out to someone you don’t know. You’re sharing things you’ve never said out loud. That takes vulnerability. Folks trust me to hold some of the most complicated parts of their lives. It’s an honor & I want to be a good vessel for that, someone who holds your story with compassion, without judgement.
