Hi there, I'm Faimmiah!

I’m a psychotherapist (LCSW) specializing in complex trauma, identity development, migration, and attachment. My work blends deep clinical training with lived experience as an immigrant and former refugee. I support adults, adolescents, and families navigating trauma, transitions, and emotional overwhelm.

My focus

I support clients carrying complex trauma, relational and identity wounds, cultural and migration stress, and long-standing emotional burdens. I also work with neurodivergent individuals, including those managing attention differences, sensory sensitivities, RSD, and executive functioning overwhelm.

My approach

My approach integrates attachment theory, IFS-informed parts work, somatic awareness, and trauma-responsive, anti-oppressive care. Sessions move at a thoughtful, intentional pace. I focus on helping clients understand their internal world with depth, clarity, and compassion without pathologizing their survival.
