Amina is a graduate of Northwestern University, where she earned her Master of Science in
Marriage and Family Therapy with a focus in Integrative Systemic Therapy. She also holds a B.S. in Psychology from the University of Illinois at Chicago. Amina completed her clinical training at Progressive Psychological Healthcare, where she continues to work with individuals,
couples, and families.
She has a strong background in working with children, particularly those with ADHD, behavioral
challenges, and social communication difficulties. Amina collaborates closely with families to
support emotional regulation, strengthen communication, and foster growth at home. Her
compassionate and collaborative approach helps clients feel supported as they work toward
meaningful change.
Therapeutic Approach
Amina views individuals within the context of their broader relationships, families, and
environments. She helps clients understand the patterns and systems that may be maintaining
their challenges and works with them to create lasting shifts. She believes that healing is a
process and provides a safe, nonjudgmental space where clients can explore and grow at their
own pace.
With couples, Amina focuses on enhancing communication, rebuilding emotional intimacy, and
navigating family planning and parenting decisions. She also enjoys working with families as a
whole, helping them strengthen their connection and resolve intergenerational dynamics. Her
integrative therapy style draws from Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), Cognitive Behavioral
Therapy (CBT), family systems models, and person-centered approaches—adapting her work to
meet each client’s unique needs.
