Amina Ellrott, LPC and Asim Husain, LCSW

If you’re here, it might be because life feels a bit heavy right now. Perhaps you’re pouring from an empty cup, constantly putting everyone else’s needs before your own until there’s nothing left for you. Or maybe you’re caught in a cycle of overthinking, replaying conversations, or worrying about a future that feels uncertain. Whether you are working two jobs to keep the lights on, a couple who's trying to get on the same page, a corporate professional navigating high-pressure stress, or a veteran transitioning to civilian life—we want you to know that you don’t have to carry it all alone. A Place to Breathe, Heal, and Find Your Way Back to You: A Down-to-Earth Approach to Healing Our practice is a warm, grounded space where you can finally exhale. We combine a deep, empathetic understanding of life's challenges with the practical tools you need to move forward. Our goal isn't a "quick fix"; it’s about helping you build a life that feels more authentic, hopeful, and truly meaningful to you.

Our Clinicians Asim Husain, LCSW: I'm a 19-year Army veteran passionate about helping other veterans navigate life in and out of the military. I have extensive experience treating depression, anxiety, mood disorders, and addiction. I use evidence-based approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), and Prolonged Exposure for PTSD. Amina Ellrott, LPC: I have a deep heart for the power of therapy and I have dedicated years to supporting people through a vast range of life situations and unique paths. My approach is rooted in an Existential-Humanistic philosophy, where we work together to gain insight into your world and the hurdles you’re facing.
