Hi there! I’m Dr. Ameena, a licensed clinical psychologist, actively practicing in the DMV area. I am a generalist practitioner and treat individuals across the lifespan with a variety of presenting concerns (e.g., anxiety, depression, trauma, ADHD, autism spectrum disorder). Some of my specialties include working with individuals who have acute and chronic medical conditions (e.g., cancer, transplant recipient, chronic pain), as well as their caregivers. I have primarily worked in hospital settings, although have also worked in community mental health agencies and private practice. My treatment approach is grounded in evidence-based practice and collaboration. I define this as 1) what research suggests will help with the presenting problem, 2) client preferences and culture, and 3) my clinical expertise. Throughout treatment, we will reflect together, monitor outcomes, and make changes as necessary. I am always open to your feedback. Underlying all of our work will be trust, empathy, and a strong relationship. I also love serving as an advocate when called for. I offer a free 15-minute consultation see if I'm a good fit for you!
