Hi, I’m Dr. Ameenah Ikram, and I’m a clinical psychologist dedicated to helping people heal, grow, and live in alignment with their values. I believe that therapy is a collaborative process where we work together to explore your experiences, emotions, and challenges. My goal is to create a safe, nonjudgmental space where you feel comfortable sharing your story and finding new ways to move forward.
I use evidence-based approaches like Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), and Time-Limited Dynamic Psychotherapy (TLDP) to help you process your emotions, shift unhelpful patterns, and develop skills for managing life’s difficulties. I especially enjoy working with individuals who may be navigating relationship challenges, emotional struggles, or identity issues. I’m also passionate about women’s health and work closely with women experiencing perinatal mood disorders, reproductive health concerns, and trauma related to pregnancy or birth.
I understand that each person’s journey is unique, and I value the opportunity to tailor therapy to fit your individual needs. I approach therapy with cultural humility and a deep respect for your background, recognizing the impact of systemic oppression and multicultural issues. Together, we’ll explore what’s holding you back, process past traumas, and find ways to build the life you want.
My approach is warm, compassionate, and collaborative. I believe that you are the expert in your life, and my role is to support you in discovering the tools and insights that will help you live more fully. Let’s work together to help you feel more empowered, more connected, and more hopeful about your future.

Approach Description: My therapeutic approach is grounded in evidence-based practices, and I tailor it to fit each client's unique needs. I draw from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), and Time-Limited Dynamic Psychotherapy (TLDP) to help you explore emotions, shift unhelpful patterns, and develop healthier ways of thinking and relating to others. I believe that a strong, collaborative, and nonjudgmental therapeutic relationship is key to meaningful change, and I work to create a safe space where you can openly share your experiences. I’m particularly passionate about supporting individuals from marginalized communities, those dealing with trauma, and clients navigating relationship struggles or women’s health concerns.
