Getting to know Lakilia Ahmed

Hello! I'm Lakilia, and I'm thrilled to have the opportunity to support you on your journey to better mental health. With over 20 years of experience as a psychotherapist, I've had the privilege of working with a diverse range of clients, helping them navigate through some of life's toughest challenges. My approach is rooted in providing a safe and supportive environment where you can explore your emotions, identify patterns of behavior, and develop effective solutions to manage your anxiety and other mental health concerns. I specialize in severe mental illness, anxiety disorders (including Generalized Anxiety Disorder and Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder), mood disorders, grief and loss, adolescent mental health, and more. My passion lies in helping clients understand their anxiety, develop healthy coping strategies, and ultimately manage their anxiety in healthy ways. I utilize a variety of therapeutic techniques, including Brief Solution-Focused Therapy, Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, to tailor our sessions to your unique needs. I hold a Master's degree in Social Work from the esteemed Howard University, and I am a proud graduate of Buffalo State College. As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, I bring a wealth of knowledge and experience to our sessions. For the past eight years, I've called Arizona home, and I love spending time with my family, diving into a good book, enjoying sports, and hunting for great shopping deals. I believe in the power of therapy to transform lives, and I'm committed to being a compassionate and understanding partner in your mental health journey. Whether you're dealing with stress, trauma, relationship issues, or life transitions, I'm here to help you find your path to healing and growth. I look forward to working with you and supporting you every step of the way. Let's take this journey together!
