Getting to know Sabeen Ahmed

My name is Sabeen Ahmed, and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker based in California. I hold a Master’s in Social Work from Columbia University. I use a mindfulness and strengths-based approach to healing and therapy. I have worked extensively with adults, children, and families, specializing in trauma, stress, and depression. I believe that as humans, we all have the ability to heal ourselves and can access this ability to find peace and contentment. My approach My therapy approach depends on the needs and unique personalities of each client. I primarily use mindfulness-based techniques combined with cognitive-behavioral therapy, narrative therapy, and acceptance and commitment therapy. As we shift the stories we tell ourselves in a way that resonates with our souls, we experience change and progress. Most importantly, I believe that a loving, supportive, and present relationship based on acceptance and unconditional positive regard between therapist and client plays the most significant role in creating transformation. My focus I typically work with people with a history of trauma or mental health difficulties, particularly women, adolescents, and young adults. I have experience working with women who have experienced gender-based or intimate partner violence and adolescents, adults, and families coping with mental health issues such as depression and anxiety, among more severe illnesses. Whether it’s a life transition, unhealthy relationship, past trauma, or another triggering event causing pain and discomfort, I help empower clients to find the strength within themselves to overcome challenges. My communication style My communication style is calm, warm, and nonjudgmental. I work respectfully and collaboratively with clients to find how best to make the changes they seek. My goal is for clients to feel their voice is heard and powerful.
