Getting to know Amina Mohabbat
I care about others and want to help people better understand the power of their emotions as an empowering tool to live a better life, for themselves and others in society and the communities we may be from. Mental health stigma is apparent in society, and it is a mission statement for me to support breaking that stigma. I come from a multicultural immigrant and BIPOC/API background; serving these populations and the mental health challenges they may be facing in America is meaningful work to me. I understand how it feels to struggle with depression, anxiety, PTSD, ADHD, complicated family dynamics, academic stress, racism, systemic oppression, religious trauma, chronic and rare illnesses, sexual orientation discrimination, and gender identity challenges. I focus my scope of practice and clinical skills toward serving these issues. I hold a Master's in Social Work from the University of California, Berkeley, which has equipped me with the knowledge and tools to provide compassionate, culturally sensitive care.
What should a new client know about working with you?
I work in a client centered strength based and collaborative approach, where I work alongside clients as professional partners in treatment to focus on goals they care about and we both agree are appropriate and achievable in this treatment services setting. I ask open ended questions and take time and patience with clients to support them in feeling safe and comfortable enough to open up over time. I value constructive feedback, as the therapy space should be known that is is two humans working together towards clients' goals, hopes, and wellness.
