Meet Saima
I’m a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor dedicated to client-centered, trauma-informed care that fosters healing, growth, and empowerment. Since earning my Master’s in Clinical Psychology from Benedictine University in 2021, I’ve worked in private practice supporting adolescents, emerging adults, and adults with anxiety, depression, PTSD, mood disorders, grief, body image concerns, multicultural stressors, and life transitions. My approach blends EMDR, CBT, DBT, and mindfulness-based tools, including guided meditation, to promote emotional regulation and lasting change. Grounded in compassion, cultural humility, and a deep respect for each client’s journey, I build strong therapeutic relationships that support meaningful progress. I’m passionate about education and advocacy, having taught clinical psychology and co-founded Project Taqwa, a Muslim mental health organization focused on accessibility and prevention. I believe in every person’s ability to heal and grow, and I’m honored to walk beside them in that process.
