Aayesha Aijaz, LGPC, NCC is a dedicated first-generation South Asian Muslim therapist committed to supporting individuals on their healing journeys. Her understanding of the immigrant community’s stigmatized response to mental health has shaped her counseling approach, allowing her to create a safe and compassionate space for clients to explore their most vulnerable thoughts and feelings. She specializes in working with adults who have either experienced therapy before or are open to exploring deep inner healing work. In her therapeutic approach, Aayesha utilizes a person-centered, culturally sensitive, and trauma-informed approach
Aayesha holds a Master of Science in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Johns Hopkins University and a Bachelor of Science in Sociology and Anthropology from Towson University. Her diverse background as a special education teacher, community organizer, and autism specialist has given her a profound understanding of the interconnectedness of mental health
Aayesha specializes in working with adults facing Autism, ADHD, mood disorders, intergenerational trauma, depression, anxiety, and life transitions. Her focus is on providing therapeutic support to individuals navigating the complex effects of childhood trauma and intergenerational trauma, particularly among first and second-generation individuals.
