About
Aisha Javed
My goal is to create a warm, welcoming space for my clients, where they feel truly heard and understood. I’m deeply empathetic and eager to listen to your story. Together, we can work toward discovering your most authentic self, reflecting on ways to navigate the challenges you face, and finding strategies to strengthen your relationships.
As a Pakistani and Muslim woman, I draw on my own experiences to inform my practice. Being the eldest daughter of four children in a patriarchal household, I was often expected to set a perfect example for my siblings—an immense pressure, to say the least. Growing up in an immigrant family has given me insight into the unique struggles that can emerge within such systems, and I strive to help you understand and rewrite your own story in a way that empowers you.
As a family therapist, I’m passionate about helping families heal and improve their relationships, whether between parents and children, siblings, or other family members. My background includes a bachelor’s degree in psychology from Georgia State University, and professional experience as both a teacher and a behavior technician for children on the autism spectrum. Additionally, I once organized a hygiene drive to support women who were victims of domestic violence, which was an incredibly meaningful experience for me.
On a personal note, I’m a proud mom to a little girl who is my world. Raising her with the intention of doing things differently from how I was raised is something that’s very important to me. I want to provide her with a nurturing environment where she feels empowered and supported in ways I didn’t always experience.
Outside of my work, I have a deep love for travel. Exploring new places and immersing myself in different cultures allows me to continually expand my worldview and enrich the way I connect with others. In my free time, I love expressing myself through art. Drawing, sketching, and painting are some of my favorite ways to unwind and connect with my creative side. Art, for me, is a form of self-reflection and healing, much like the therapeutic process itself.
