I’ve worked in a variety of mental health fields, including inpatient & outpatient psychiatric programs, residential treatment facilities, & a handful of private practices. These experiences have given me a multi-faceted view of the spectrum of care for mental health. I believe it has allowed me to truly understand every side of mental health treatment.
I am a LPC in private pratice. I have work with clients dealing with depression, anxiety, eating disorders, and trauma. I utilize a combination of psychoeducation, skills-building, and talk therapy to help my clients achieve their goals. I have had the honor of working with people of all backgrounds and bringing cultural awareness to the therapeutic connection.
As a therapist, I believe that therapy should be anti-racist, LGBTQ+ and gender-affirming, intersectional, and inclusive.
Life has a way of presenting us with moments that feel overwhelming, isolating, or simply too heavy to carry alone. Whatever has brought you here today, know this: reaching out is one of the most powerful acts of self-care you can take. I'm a licensed therapist with over 20 years of experience helping adults reclaim their sense of peace, purpose, and connection.
Hi, I’m Dr. Aminah Abdikadir, DNP, PMHNP-BC. I’ve spent nearly a decade helping individuals improve their mental health through inpatient, outpatient, and telehealth care. I believe in a holistic approach that looks at the whole person mind, body, and environment to create lasting change. My style is warm, collaborative, and focused on helping you feel balanced and empowered as you navigate life’s challenges.
I believe that healing happens when people feel truly seen, heard, and accepted. As a fun-loving person who is still a child at heart, I strive to create a welcoming, authentic, and nonjudgmental space where clients of all ages can feel comfortable being themselves. My goal is to meet you where you are, honor your unique experiences, and walk alongside you as you navigate life’s challenges.
I specialize in working with children, adolescents, and adults who are experiencing the effects of trauma, anxiety, and other challenges that impact daily functioning, relationships, and overall well-being. I am also passionate about providing affirming and supportive care to members of the LGBTQIA+ community, ensuring that every client feels respected, valued, and empowered throughout the therapeutic process. Additionally, I am proficient in American Sign Language (ASL) and am committed to fostering accessible and inclusive care for members of the Deaf and hard-of-hearing communities.
My approach combines compassion with evidence-based practices. I am trained in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), trauma-focused counseling, and the SYMBIS Premarital Assessment. Whether you are seeking support for personal growth, healing from past experiences, strengthening relationships, or managing life's stressors, I am committed to helping you build resilience, discover your strengths, and create meaningful change.
I believe that every person deserves a space where they can feel safe, understood, and empowered to grow. My hope is to help you build on your strengths, overcome obstacles, and move toward a life that feels more connected, balanced, and fulfilling.
I received my Ph.D. from UT Southwestern Medical Center at Dallas, a clinically focused school with significant access to psychological and medical training. I transitioned to private practice in 2018 in order to allow for deeper work with clients. I enjoy working with clients on a variety of issues, but identity, meaning-making, and life transitions are of particular interest.
Recognizing the need for growth and change can feel intimidating, but taking that first step toward therapy shows courage and a willingness to invest in yourself. I create a warm, supportive space where clients can safely explore past and present experiences. Together, we work to understand patterns, emotions, and challenges that may be holding you back. I view therapy as a collaborative journey where we move at your pace while building insight, self-acceptance, and meaningful change. My goal is to help you reconnect with your strengths and move toward a more balanced, fulfilling life.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Mental Health Therapist in Bedford, TX
Searching for therapists in Bedford starts with finding someone whose training matches what you want support with. Therapists may focus on concerns like anxiety, depression, grief, relationship challenges, life transitions, or work stress. As you compare options, look for specialties and approaches that fit your needs, such as cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, trauma-informed care, or family therapy. A therapist’s profile can also show how they describe their style, who they work with, and what you can expect in sessions.
Bedford is a smaller city in the Dallas-Fort Worth area, so local in-person appointment options may be more limited than in nearby larger markets. Virtual therapy can expand your choices while still connecting you with a therapist licensed in Texas. As you narrow your search, consider appointment availability, whether the therapist is accepting new patients, and whether they offer a free phone consultation. Reading bios before booking can help you compare communication style, session structure, and experience with concerns that matter to you.
Therapy in Bedford can be a significant investment without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and understand what you may pay before your first appointment. Headway helps you search for therapists who accept a wide range of insurance plans, review estimated out-of-pocket costs, and book directly when you’re ready. This makes it easier to find a therapist who matches your needs, fits your schedule, and is accepting new patients.
If anyone in your family is experiencing or worried about abuse, threats, or coercion, joint family or couples therapy usually isn't the right starting point — individual support is safer. The Childhelp National Child Abuse Hotline (1-800-422-4453) and National Domestic Violence Hotline (1-800-799-7233, or text START to 88788\) can help you think through next steps.
