I hope that you will find my fluency in the language of addiction, family systems, and toxic shame, along with the depth of knowledge gained from my journey make me an incredibly authentic, compassionate, intuitive, and insightful guide.
Hey there! Glad you made it here safely. My name is Rashid Roashan and I am a licensed clinical social worker. I have been practicing therapy since 2020. My focus of the practice is targeting the unconscious and subconscious self to create an alignment with the conscious self. Together, we can go deeper within. My preferred therapy approaches involve targeting toxic shame, incorporating a narrative approach to get in touch with our distorted self, cognitive rewiring, mindful practices, and object relations while working through the chains that bind us from reaching our authentic selves.

If your family relationships leave you feeling confused, guilty, or emotionally drained, you’re not alone.
In therapy, we create space to slow down and make sense of these patterns with care and compassion. We'll explore how early relationships shaped the way you relate to yourself and others, and how to begin separating responsibility from love. Helping you trust your own feelings, develop a stronger sense of self, and learn how to choose yourself.

I see therapy as a self-discovery process, in which a client seeks to solve problems in a safe and positive environment under the guidance of a professional. I believe that anxiety, depression and negative stress can be resolved more effectively, when there is understanding that basic steps must be taken to first stabilize one's life then one's passion and purpose in life can be addressed to find self-fulfillment. I especially enjoy working with adolescents and adults of all ages, who are in the midst of life transitions.

My ideal client has an awareness of their presenting problem (unproductive thought pattern, emotions or behavior), and is ready to release it. The client realizes something is not working and ready to breakthrough their current situation. Many have often tried other traditional therapy or personal development and may even have hit a mental health crisis (anxiety, suicidal thoughts, depression, rage, etc.) Some clients simply want to level-up their mindset to further their personal, relational or career goals. Many choose to work with me with issues of self-love/confidence, emotional/relational instability, or behavioral change.

Did you know the number one factor in clients feeling better is based on their relationship with their therapist? I encourage you to be picky in the journey to find the right therapist for you. Let's get you started on the journey to finding the right fit and feeling better. I use a combination of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) to help shift negative thought patterns and develop healthy coping skills. I also work through a trauma-focused lens to help you make sense of how past experiences shape your present and help heal the past so you can navigate your future.

Family Therapy Therapists
What do family therapists do?
A family therapist facilitates the process of understanding and improving how a family functions. The therapist will help family members develop empathy for one another. They’ll seek to understand existing patterns, misunderstandings, and conflicts that arise, in order to help the family arrive at a realistic, unified understanding and develop the coping skills they need to build stronger relationships.

How long does therapy for families take to work?
Therapy manifests differently in every family; a common time frame is 12 weekly sessions, but some families may see improvement after just a few weeks. Families should discuss their goals with the therapist at the beginning of the process and periodically revisit those goals to assess their progress together.

How can you encourage a family member to attend family therapy?
You can encourage family members to attend therapy by expressing with both love and concern the challenges you see and explaining how a therapist could help the family navigate those challenges together. An outside perspective can help everyone feel heard, get on the same page, and develop new skills. If family members are still hesitant, it may be helpful to emphasize that family therapy is short-term—it won’t last forever.

Is therapy for families effective?
Family therapy can significantly improve family dynamics and relationships. Research suggests that family therapy can help individuals understand their role in the family, communicate and solve problems together, reduce conflict and draw boundaries when necessary, and develop coping skills for stressors, major life changes, and mental or physical illnesses within the family.
