Getting to know Neelma Zafar

I meet clients where they are and get to know them and their strengths. My approach is trauma-focused and evidence-based therapy, but I believe in empowering clients. I am trained in EMDR, DBT, and CBT. Currently, I am working with sexually abused and sexually problematic children, and I also conduct family therapy sessions. I hold a Master's in Social Work from the University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign.

What should a new client know about working with you?

I want clients to take a lead in sessions as I believe they are the ones who know themselves better but together we can set goals and work on them.

More information on payments and coverage

Payment is due after each session and will be charged with your card on file for any portion of patient responsibility. Receipts will be provided at the time of the charge. This typically takes place 2-4 weeks after the session, once your insurance has had a chance to process the claim. We try our best to verify eligibility, but it is ultimately your responsibility to check coverage and out-of-pocket costs for services. For out-of-network visits, you will be billed at the provider’s self-pay rate, and we can provide an invoice for you to submit to your insurance for potential out-of-network reimbursement based on your plan’s benefits.
