I am a Licensed Professional Counselor with more than 20 years' experience. I received my undergraduate and graduate degrees from University of Michigan and Oakland University, respectively. I furthered my formal education with a post-Master's degree specialization in mental health.
In my work as a psychotherapist I encounter many people of various nationalities and socioeconomic standing. As I help them with their concerns, I repeatedly find the single most important conduit to change is the relationship we forge in therapy. In this relationship I am without judgment. I am respectful, understanding, and completely accepting.
Although I use a variety of therapeutic methods, an eclectic approach that I tailor to the specific needs of each client, I do try to incorporate humor appropriately in my sessions, the key word being appropriately.
Regardless of the presenting problem, whether it is one's depression, mania, anxiety, trauma, grief, or a relationship, sexual, acculturation, or emancipation issue, I have beneficial goals of my own for my clients: 1) to realize they are more than their problem, 2) to learn how to laugh at themselves and at what life confronts them with, and 3) to become more confident and capable human beings.
Enough about me, I'm glad you for taking the first step toward a more fulfilling, lighthearted, and purposeful life. Welcome to our first session together.

I loved working with Amira. She was like a good conscious friend who would validate you but also give you real helpful homework. Having her in my life for extended period of time was very grounding and balancing. She was also available by email in between sessions, and I really appreciate your heart. I truly felt that she had my back.

Amira has been an amazing support in my marriage. It’s been incredibly helpful for me to have her as my therapist and to have her guidance, advice as well as validation, empathy and understanding. She’s insightful and her knowledge in different cultures&beliefs really help me and my partner as we are an interracial couple(South African and Chinese). She offers helpful and practical solutions and I’ve been able to stay calm, hold space for both myself and my partner in moments of conflicts. I have so much more confidence in me and my marriage now thanks to her. We’ve been working together for several months now and I look forward to more progress in the future. Cannot recommend her enough!

I’ve worked with Amira for several months now - she’s a great listener and always has constructive suggestions on what action to take. Her knowledge of both American and Muslim culture has been a great advantage for me. I would not hesitate to recommend her.

Amazingly practical advice and tips. My gripe with therapists in the past has been not feeling that the sessions are actually useful. This is not the case with Amira. The time per session is limited but out of all of the therapists I've spent time with, she has given me the most benefit for the amount of time spent. Definitely worth the money and time so far. Can already see what I should focus on improving after 2 sessions. If you aren't sure, book her! You won't regret it.

Amira is supportive, non-judgemental, but also absolutely willing to point out where and how your behavior is unsupportive of you being your best self -- in a very compassionate way. I can speak openly and have never felt silenced or judged while working with her and I feel she's helped me become better at helping myself.
