Dr. Assad works with adults, with a particular appreciation for college and graduate students. She has a deep commitment to providing affirming, culturally responsive care, and is especially passionate about supporting first-generation college students and individuals from marginalized backgrounds, including BIPOC clients. Her areas of clinical interest include anxiety, executive functioning challenges related to ADHD, identity development, relationship concerns, and navigating complex or difficult family dynamics.Dr. Assad earned her doctorate in Clinical Psychology from William James College and has worked in college counseling.
Dr. Assad draws from relational, person-centered, and solution-focused approaches. She creates a warm, collaborative space while gently challenging clients to grow and align with their values. She believes therapy is most effective when it honors clients’ strengths and sees her role as guiding them back to their own insight and capacity for change.
“I view therapy as a space where people can come as they are - messy, curious, stuck, uncertain, hopeful - and be met with care and curiosity. I genuinely enjoy getting to know my clients, and I work to build a space that feels both safe and active, where meaningful insight and practical change can happen together.”
