Getting to know Nadia Ghafoor

Hi, my name is Nadia Ghafoor, LMFT. Therapy is about getting in touch with yourself. I have spent the last 10 years working as a Social Worker in foster care and the past 5 years working with Kaiser Permanente as a Case Manager and Therapist. I earned my Master's in Counseling from Argosy University in the San Francisco Bay Area and my Bachelor's degree from California State University, San Francisco. My approach to therapy varies based on the needs of each client I work with. I use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy, as both modalities help me and the client build a shared understanding and work toward healing. I have found that my style and approach are a good fit for teens, kids, and adults who may be dealing with the challenges of life transitions and social pressures. This often takes the form of anxiety and related concerns. My communication style is calm, accommodating, and personable. I want my clients to feel comfortable talking with me about anything and know that I listen without judgment. What you can expect from our first session together is for us to spend most of the time talking about how you've been feeling recently, with me asking questions to better understand some of the reasons behind those feelings. I decided to become a therapist because I have always wanted to help people. I took the journey of becoming a therapist because I want to make a difference in people's lives. When I see people succeed, I feel joy within myself. My approach to goal setting with clients is all about working together to define what you want to accomplish by building trust and rapport with each other.
