Getting to know Jihad Ali
With a deep passion for mental well-being, I am a licensed Maryland State Social Worker who has dedicated the past 13 years to helping individuals navigate life's challenges. I earned my Bachelor's degree from Coppin State University and my Master's in Social Work from Howard University in 2011, after which I began my career as a licensed therapist. I specialize in anxiety, depression, trauma, loss and grief, and relationship issues. I also have training in The Grief Recovery Method. Using evidence-based approaches like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), I strive to support my clients in achieving emotional healing and resilience.
What should a new client know about working with you?
I believe healing begins with being heard. As a compassionate and client-centered therapist, I provide a supportive space where individuals can openly explore their thoughts, emotions, and experiences. Specializing in talk therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a structured, evidence-based form of psychotherapy that helps people identify and change negative thought patterns and behaviors. It is based on the idea that our thoughts, feelings, and behaviors are interconnected and by changing unhelpful thinking patterns, we can improve emotional well-being and make healthier choices. I also specialize in loss and grief as I assist clients with processing pain, navigating life’s challenges, and building resilience.
I believe in creating a safe, non-judgmental space where clients feel heard, understood, and empowered to make meaningful changes in their lives. By integrating compassionate care with practical strategies, I work collaboratively to foster resilience, self-awareness, and personal growth.
What is your typical process for working with clients?
With a deep understanding of how loss and trauma shape our lives, I guide clients toward healing through meaningful conversation, evidence-based strategies, and personalized support. Whether working through grief, past trauma, or daily struggles, I assist in empowering clients to reclaim their strength, reframe negative patterns, and find a renewed sense of hope.
Beyond the therapy room, I am passionate about ongoing learning, self-care, and fostering a compassionate community. I enjoy cooking and gardening. I am very excited about painting pictures, mainly mountains and sealine oil paintings.

I did not see this provider. He cancelled my appointment claiming the time was taken. Offered me another time, then said that wasn’t taken & when I cancelled the appointment he offered me the original time that I booked & I declined.
