Eman Said, LCSW

Eman Said builds a practice around kindness, intentional care, and the development of a warm, trusting therapeutic relationship. As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) she focuses on person-centered, nonjudgmental work that helps clients access their own strengths and pursue sustainable change. Her approach emphasizes practical skills alongside deeper processing so individuals can experience meaningful shifts in their lives.

Eman identifies as a first generation Muslim Arab American and specializes in providing therapy for women from Arab and South Asian backgrounds. She also has experience working with people from the MENA region, immigrants and communities of varied backgrounds, and people with disabilities who are navigating relationship challenges. In addition, she supports individuals who may hold social privilege yet feel excluded by family or community dynamics.

Her clinical focus includes processing intergenerational trauma and addressing intersectional discrimination. Eman combines cognitive behavioral techniques with strength-based and trauma-focused approaches, and also draws on mindfulness, motivational interviewing, narrative work, and solution-focused strategies as appropriate. That blend of methods aims to meet each person where they are and to build practical, achievable pathways forward.

Across sessions, Eman prioritizes skills such as conflict resolution and emotional regulation so clients leave with tools they can use between appointments. Her work seeks to foster a sense of empowerment and greater self-direction as people address challenges related to relationships, trauma, mood, and life transitions.
