LICENSED MASTER SOCIAL WORKER

Humera Jahan, LMSW

Being a therapist, I understand that starting therapy can feel overwhelming. Whether you're struggling with anxiety that won't quiet down, feelings of depression, unresolved trauma, anger that feels hard to control, or ongoing relationship and personality challenges, I will meet you with empathy and without judgment. My goal is to truly understand your story, not just your symptoms.

I take a collaborative, client-centered approach, meaning therapy is something you build together. I will work alongside you to create a personalized treatment plan that reflects your goals, strengths, values, and lived experiences.

I provide culturally responsive care, honoring each client's identity, background, and lived experiences so you feel seen and respected. Using evidence-based approaches like cognitive behavior therapy (CBT), I will help you build practical tools to manage stress, regulate emotions, and create meaningful, lasting change. Growth and meaningful change can sometimes bring discomfort or uncertainty, but you do not have to navigate it alone. I work alongside you with curiosity, empathy, and practical tools that support resilience, strengthen emotional regulation, and help create healthier and more fulfilling ways of living.
