Samia Shafi, LCSW

"As a therapist, I offer a space where you can feel comfortable talking honestly about where you have been, where you're at, and what you want in the future, along with challenges coming up. It's important to me to respect each client's individuality while bearing in mind the impact of broader forces, including social and economic conditions, on my clients' lives.

I have experience working with people from diverse backgrounds on a range of intersecting issues. I'm committed to supporting individuals with marginalized experiences in particular to heal from trauma, overcome hardships, and experience more joy, love, and fulfillment in life. Rather than using a one-size-fits-all approach, I draw from a variety of strategies tailored to the problems at hand and what is effective and helpful for you. In addition, I encourage you to apply your own unique knowledge and skills to help you navigate difficult experiences, explore new possibilities, move forward and accomplish your goals."
