“My 8 year old sees Sohaib, not only is she excited for all of her visits, she often wishes they were longer. Sohaib gives language and visuals to help her understand the depths of her emotions, he uses a nonjudgmental and empathetic lens so neither myself nor my daughter feel judged. It sounds like all they’re doing is having fun but that’s because Sohaib is an amazing therapist, using art therapy and using his personal insight to build rapport and connect it to topics to explore. I would recommend them for children and adults!”

Getting to know Sohaib Javed
If you grew up in a family or culture where asking for help felt like a sign of weakness, you already know how hard it can be to reach out. I work with people navigating anxiety, grief, trauma, and the quiet loneliness that can come from feeling caught between worlds: immigrant families, cultural expectations, and the pressure to carry it all without showing it. In our sessions, you don't have to leave any part of yourself at the door. I'm Sohaib (he/him), a South Asian, Ace-Aro, Muslim immigrant, and Licensed Mental Health Counselor, and I bring all of that lived experience to the work we do together.
I believe that therapy should feel like a warm campfire—a safe, inviting space where you have the autonomy to explore your goals without the weight of judgment. As an immigrant, I’m deeply aware of the stigma that can often surround mental health care, and my passion lies in breaking those barriers. Whether you are navigating loneliness, grief, or the complexities of your identity, my goal is to provide an empathic environment where you can connect with both your past and present selves while rediscovering your inherent resilience.
What should a new client know about working with you?
I work with minors and adults (ages 10 to 65), including people navigating LGBTQIA+ identity, substance use, chronic health challenges, and low self-esteem. Our sessions are flexible and built around what you actually need. Some weeks that might look like identifying the thought patterns that fuel anxiety or keep you stuck in old cycles. Other times we might use creative tools like writing or art when words alone don't capture what you're feeling. I also incorporate breathing and body-based work to help you move through stress in real time. Whatever we use, the goal is the same: tools that fit your
life, not a one-size-fits-all checklist.
My approach is entirely client-centered, meaning I meet you exactly where you are in your healing process. I work with individuals aged 10 to 65, specializing in everything from self-esteem and social skills to LGBTQIA+ affirming care and managing chronic health challenges. Our work together is a true collaboration; I integrate evidence-based treatments like CBT and DBT with creative, soul-nourishing interventions like art and writing-focused therapy, play therapy, and somatic breathing. By tailoring these tools to your unique lived experience, we can address the many obligations that impact your relationships, career, and even your ability to simply breathe.
What is your typical process for working with clients?
In our first few sessions, we focus on one thing: building trust. From there, we'll map out a plan around what matters most to you, whether that's managing a mood disorder, finding your footing after a loss, working through substance use, or figuring out who you are outside of what others expect. My approach is strengths-based. I believe you already have what it takes to build a more authentic life. I'm here to help you find it. If any of this resonates, I'd love to connect. You can request a free consultation directly through Headway.
I look forward to meeting you! Book an appointment Today.

My session with Sohaib went great! He helped me step-by-step during our appointments on my journey to healing, and also provided me a contact for emergencies as needed. I have visited him several times, and do not want to change!
