About me
Hi, I’m Manaal Sayed,ACSW therapist with Find Your Balance Center for Growth & Change. I am trilingual in English, Urdu, and Hindi, and I work with teens, young adults, and families navigating concerns such as anxiety, depression, life transitions, relationship challenges, stress, and self-esteem. Many clients come to therapy feeling overwhelmed, navigating cultural or family expectations, or struggling with emotional balance. My goal is to provide a supportive, compassionate space where you can explore your experiences, gain insight, and feel empowered to move forward.
My approach is culturally responsive and client-centered, integrating Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), solution-focused therapy, and mindfulness-based techniques. I tailor therapy to your unique needs, helping you build coping
I have experience working in inpatient hospital and school settings, supporting individuals and families through complex challenges, including chronic illness, self-harm, and family dynamics. My style is empathetic and collaborative. If you’re seeking meaningful support and growth, I invite you to reach out to schedule an appointment or consultation.
