Nisreen Abuhadid, MSW LICSW

Nisreen is an experienced and dedicated clinician with an aim to help individuals navigate complex emotional landscapes and achieve a fulfilling life. She uses both solution-focused strategies and enhances understanding of environmental and systemic influences on behavior and emotions (relational patterns, lifestyle and history). She works toward increasing flexibility in thinking, regulation, practical skill development and finding a renewed sense of purpose. 

Nisreen's focus is on helping clients identify the impact of past traumatic experiences. She assists clients in managing symptoms like flashbacks, avoidance, and interpersonal stress. She aims to help clients build a healthy, purposeful life that exists outside of their trauma narrative.

Nisreen offers culturally sensitive care to individuals and families from diverse backgrounds, including the Muslim, Immigrant, and Refugee communities, and the BIPOC community. She understands the unique challenges of navigating BIPOC and immigrant culture, ensuring a safe and affirming space for all clients.

Nisreen prioritizes humanness and empowerment in therapy, using a collaborative, client-guided approach. She sets a comfortable pace, focusing on client goals. Her aim is to provide a safe space where clients can explore, disengage from symptoms, and make progress toward an authentic, healthy life. Nisreen interprets shame through a trauma-informed lens: behaviors are adaptations from past traumatic experiences, once serving as survival mechanisms, not character flaws.
