I’m Jameela Muhammad, MSW, LSWAIC, a Licensed Social Work Associate Independent Clinician (LICSWA) my credentialing number #SC61425927 is under supervision and proud graduate of the University of Washington School of Social Work. With over a decade of experience in social work, child welfare and mental health, I bring both clinical training and cultural understanding to my practice. I founded The Melanated Therapist to create a healing space for individuals carrying the weight of trauma, societal pressures, and daily stress. My approach is person-centered, holistic, and grounded in authentic connection. I integrate evidence-based therapies—including CBT, DBT, psychodynamic, and mindfulness practices—tailored to your unique needs and pace. I believe therapy should feel like a real, supportive conversation where you feel seen and safe. My goal is not only to help you manage challenges like trauma, life transitions, and relationship struggles, but also to help you reconnect with your voice, strength, and truth. Healing doesn’t require perfection—it starts with showing up. I’m honored to walk alongside you on that journey. ***As a LICSWA I provide services under the supervision of a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) Sarah Matthews (License #LW60890354).
