Mariam Ahmad
I am an advanced practicum trainee specializing in trauma work. I value bringing warmth, curiosity, and understanding into the therapy room. I want students to feel comfortable showing up as they are while we work together to make sense of what they’re experiencing and what matters to them. My approach is culturally informed and draws from Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and Person-Centered Therapy. I use these approaches to help students better understand their emotions, relationships, and patterns while finding ways to move toward a life that feels meaningful to them.
