We understand that life's stressors can significantly impact an individual or family's well-being, leading to feelings of being stuck, overwhelmed, and disconnected. At Amanah Family Counseling, we specialize in providing psychotherapy services that cater to the unique needs of women, children, and their families. Our goal is to equip you with the necessary tools and strategies to effectively address your concerns and restore balance in your life.

Our experienced and knowledgeable team utilizes a variety of therapeutic approaches, including Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), and psychospiritual coaching, ensuring a tailored and individualized healing process.

EMDR: A Path to Processing Trauma

Trauma can have a profound impact on an individual's life, affecting their emotional, mental, and physical well-being.

Our team, led by Najwa Awad, LCSW-C, PMH-C, has extensive experience in addressing trauma-related issues and offers Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) therapy as part of our trauma-informed approach. EMDR is a powerful therapeutic technique that can help reduce distressing symptoms, improve emotional regulation, and promote healing from traumatic experiences.
