Trauma and PTSD therapists & psychiatrists in Homewood, IL

Hi, I'm Shamim! With 28 years of experience as a therapist, I've had the privilege of helping people from many different backgrounds navigate life's challenges and find their way forward. I work with individuals experiencing anxiety, depression, stress, relationship difficulties, grief, trauma, and major life changes. Whether you're feeling overwhelmed by responsibilities, struggling in your relationships, or carrying the weight of difficult experiences, my goal is to help you feel understood, supported, and more confident in yourself.

Having grown up in India and continued my education in both the United Kingdom and the United States, I understand how deeply our culture, family, and life experiences can shape who we are. I bring that perspective into my work, creating a warm, welcoming space where you can comfortably share your story without judgment. I also offer therapy in English, Hindi, Gujarati, and Urdu, helping clients express themselves in the language that feels most comfortable and natural to them.
