Atiq Shomar, LCSW, LMSW
About me
I'm a therapist with extensive experience supporting individuals through life's most complex challenges. My work centers on helping people navigate relationship transitions, family dynamics, and the profound impact of trauma and grief. I bring deep expertise in LGBTQ+ affirming care and am committed to creating a therapeutic space that honors diverse identities, relationship structures, and life experiences.
I specialize in supporting clients through divorce and separation, women's issues, multicultural concerns, and non-monogamous relationships. I also work with individuals facing significant life challenges, including cancer and its emotional aftermath. My approach is grounded in cultural humility and an understanding that healing looks different for everyone.
As a therapist of color and someone who identifies as nonconforming, I bring both professional training and lived experience to our work together. I believe in meeting you where you are—without judgment—and collaborating with you to build meaningful change at your own pace. My goal is to create a safe, affirming space where you feel truly seen and supported.
