Getting to know Maheen Ajaz
I believe psychotherapy is a process of self-discovery that can yield positive personal growth and transformation. During my sessions, I promote a safe, empathetic, and trusting therapeutic relationship so we can freely explore areas of pain and vulnerability. I gently ask tough questions and reveal inconsistencies while providing feedback, insights, and observations. Creating a safe space and using effective therapeutic methods allow my clients to gain insight into their unproductive behaviors, increase self-confidence, and gain self-acceptance.
I have a Master's in Social Work from Columbia University and a certificate in Trauma Focused- CBT therapy. I have worked in different healthcare settings like a private practice, inpatient, partial program, suicide hotline, and disability camp, allowing me to work with people in various life circumstances and communities of diverse racial and ideological backgrounds. I currently specialize in treating depression, anxiety disorders, mood disorders, life transitions, and relationship issues. I believe every person's life experience and perspective are unique so I use an eclectic approach to provide therapy that meets your individual needs and goals.
I know it can be difficult and intimidating to talk about the hard stuff and start a therapeutic journey but I will be here with a warm heart and an open mind. I would be honored to be a part of your journey and hope to hear from you soon.

Maheen was an amazing therapist, a fantastic listener, and an interpreter of all my unexpressed feelings and emotions. She was patient and allowed me to open up at my own pace. She helped me to understand myself and my emotions a lot better, which in turn prepared me for the future. I’m very grateful to have met Maheen, she’s the best.

Maheen is a fantastic listener and an even better interpreter of my unexpressed thoughts and emotions. She really helped me work through a lot of emotional “baggage” I was carrying for a while.
She allowed me to open up at my own pace and with each session she helped me to decipher my emotions better so that I could help myself in the future.
Maheen is genuine and trustworthy, I’m very grateful for the time I was able to spend with her.
