Getting to know Manaal Sayed
The provider is an Associate Clinical Social Worker and is currently working under the supervision of a licensed practitioner. Their current employer is Find Your Balance Center for Growth and Change.
Hi, I’m Manaal Sayed, a trilingual (English/Urdu/Hindi) associate therapist specializing in working with teens, young adults, and parents. I earned my Masters in Social Work from USC in 2023, with a specialization in Children, Youth and Families, and my Bachelors from UCLA in Psychobiology in 2021. I am dedicated to supporting individuals and families through life’s most challenging moments, offering a compassionate, safe space where you can explore your thoughts, feelings, and experiences.
I believe that each person has unique strengths that, when uncovered and nurtured, lead to profound personal growth and healthier relationships. My approach is designed to meet your specific needs and respect your individual journey, honoring both your cultural background and your goals.
My experience in inpatient hospitals has prepared me to support individuals and families through high-pressure, complex challenges. Working in schools with children, parents, and couples has deepened my understanding of family life, child development, and relationships.
I help clients navigate chronic illness, depression, anxiety, self-harm, and complex family dynamics. Using approaches like cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavioral therapy, solution-focused therapy, and mindfulness, I support clients in finding practical strategies for lasting change. If you're looking for a therapist who listens, respects your experiences, and works collaboratively, I'm here to help.
