Nabila Hassan, LPC

I am an experienced Licensed Professional Counselor, with extensive work experience and training that is dedicated to helping motivated individuals learn to cope with the symptoms that is bringing them into therapy and understand the root cause of their symptoms. I aim to provide a safe, understanding and compassionate space for everyone.

Being of Asian and Muslim decent, I understand the importance of using culture sensitivity in every appointment. I use an integrative approach to counseling. An integrative approach can be used to treat a range of psychological concerns, including depression, anxiety, personality disorders, grief, low self-esteem, self-harm, trauma and PTSD, relationship issues, sleep concerns, substance use disorders, and eating disorders. I draw from evidence-based treatment modalities such as CBT, attachment-based family therapy, interpersonal neurobiology, somatic/mind body intervention such as sensorimotor psychotherapy, and other trauma informed modalities, with each client and their individual particular concern that is bringing them into therapy. My goal is to discover and understand the individual's personality traits, preferences, needs, spiritual beliefs, openness, and motivation level so I can help them.

I can understand that it will take time to become comfortable and be able to talk about your experiences and symptoms. Not being able to cope with current or past events can impact our daily wellbeing, including in relationships, work, and even taking care of yourself. It can leave us feeling out of control, angry, frozen or paralyzed, trigger our shame/guilt cycle and even at times helpless. I can help you with increasing coping skills and understanding the root cause of your patterns (emotional reactivity, thinking negative loop, behavioral self-sabotaging, etc.) to move you towards stability.
