Hello, my name is Maryam Ahmed, and I am a Licensed Professional Counselor Associate at the Texas Counseling Center Sugar Land location, under the supervision of Linette Tovar, MA, LPC S. I provide individual counseling to adults who are navigating trauma, depression, anxiety, life transitions, and other mental health challenges.
My therapeutic approach is grounded in empathy, authenticity, and a nonjudgmental stance. I strive to create a safe and supportive environment where clients feel heard, understood, and empowered to grow. I believe healing begins with a strong therapeutic relationship built on trust and compassion.
I utilize evidence based modalities, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Person Centered Therapy, and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, to tailor treatment to each client’s unique needs and goals. My experience includes working with individuals from diverse backgrounds and life experiences, and I am committed to providing culturally responsive and individualized care. Many of my clients seek help with:
- Processing traumatic memories using EMDR
- Adjusting to life changes such as college, new parenthood, marriage or divorce, career changes, or moving to a new city
- Managing burnout
- Navigating the challenges of motherhood
Whether you are seeking support for a specific concern or looking to better understand yourself, I am here to walk alongside you on your journey toward healing and meaningful change.
