MEET MUJAHID

I provide practical, individualized, and collaborative counseling with a particular interest in working with athletes, performers, and individuals striving to reach their goals. My background in Clinical Mental Health Counseling and Sports Psychology allows me to address both mental health and performance-related concerns, including performance anxiety, fear of failure, perfectionism, pressure, motivation, burnout, confidence, stress, injury recovery, and responding to mistakes or setbacks. I also work with clients experiencing anxiety, depression, ADHD-related challenges, self-esteem concerns, emotional regulation difficulties, life transitions, and other challenges that affect their well-being. My approach draws from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), while adapting treatment to each client’s needs and goals.

My combination of clinical mental health counseling and sports psychology provides a unique perspective for athletes and performers who want to strengthen their mental health while also developing practical skills for performance. I believe athletes and performers are people first, and I strive to help clients build confidence, resilience, focus, emotional regulation, and a healthier relationship with achievement. I also value culturally responsive care and welcome clients from diverse backgrounds, including Arab and Muslim clients. I have an Arab and Muslim background and am proficient in Arabic, allowing me to connect with clients and families who may feel more comfortable incorporating their cultural background into counseling.

I have a personal connection to both Arab and Muslim culture and understand the importance of feeling seen and understood in counseling. Outside of my professional work, I have a strong interest in sports, performance, and the psychological factors that influence how people handle pressure, setbacks, and achievement.
