Online Therapy for deep-feeling, overwhelmed, & self-aware overthinkers in Maryland, who have been told they’re “too much” or “too sensitive."
Empowering You To Authentically, Deeply, And Securely Connect With Yourself And Others.
With — Amal Afzal, LCSW-C (Therapist & Founder)
This space is for you if:
You don’t JUST want to vent with nothing changing. Instead, you want real, practical work — uncovering patterns, building insight, working on exercises, and making tangible shifts.
You are ready to dive deeper than surface-level coping skills and gain more self-awareness than ever.
You want help with accountability, structure, and self-compassion.
Here we don’t just talk about your feelings, thoughts, and behaviors — we explore where they came from, why they persist, and what needs to shift. We track and monitor your progress through a customized treatment plan, practice skills in real time, and heal the root of the issues. You’ll leave sessions with understanding AND action steps.
Let’s be honest:
You want to be your BEST - most Confident and Secure version, but instead you feel:
Thoughts of self-doubt and low self-esteem and/or self-image holding you back.
Confused, stuck, or “lost” regarding your role, purpose, and where to go in life.
“Too much,” “too sensitive,” or “selfish” when you try to express yourself and assert your needs.
Deep sadness, heart-sinking emptiness, “not good enough,” and broken no matter what you do.
Fear of abandonment, rejection, constant anxiety, or heartache in your relationships.
Curious about “why” you are the way you are or feel, think, and do what you do and why others react the way they do.
In short, you feel like…
a Flower that never got a chance to bloom.
Life doesn’t have to stay this way.
Hi, I’m Amal
…And I can help.
I provide virtual therapy using client-centered, trauma, culture & identity-sensitive, and depth/ insight-oriented approaches. I firmly believe that outer change begins with inner change. We work collaboratively in a safe space, starting with an understanding of your needs and creating a customized plan to meet your goals, all at a pace comfortable for you. I blend various evidence-based, structured modalities with relaxed talk therapy to gently guide you towards insight, self-compassion, and emotional relief.
My clients walk away from therapy with me feeling that I have empowered them to live confidently at their full potential, without making themselves small anymore, feel worthy, whole, and secure by deeply and fully connecting with themselves and others, and experience more clarity, control, and peace in life.
Here’s how I can help:
-
Everything you absorb from the outside may impact your self-worth or self-image. Let’s explore your feelings and beliefs about yourself and the world together for insight, and learn the tools you need to heal those core-beliefs and feel comfortable in your own skin, in life and in love.
