Healing begins with feeling safe & seen
I’m Nasreen Ahmed, a Licensed Professional Counselor Associate in Katy, TX. I provide a warm, culturally sensitive space for individuals, couples, and families to navigate anxiety, trauma, and life transitions.
A supportive conversation — not just a session
I believe therapy should feel like a supportive conversation — a two-sided dialogue with room for reflection, healing, and growth where cultural sensitivity is central to our relationship.
With 17 years of experience working with families as an educator and school counselor, I bring lived understanding to help people navigate anxiety, relationship struggles, and life transitions by creating a nurturing space where you feel safe and seen.
My approach combines warmth, compassion, trauma-informed care, and evidence-based therapies including CBT, Play Therapy, and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy. I specialize in trauma recovery using mindfulness and somatic techniques to foster grounded, meaningful change.
I earned my Bachelor’s in Psychology from Florida Atlantic University and a Master’s in Counseling from Lamar University. I’m a Licensed Professional Counselor Associate under the supervision of Matthew Whalen, LPC-S, at Changing Tides Counseling.
