Licensed Masters Social Worker
Waqas Sheikh, LMSW
Hi, I’m Waqas!
Do you feel as if no one listens or understands? Do you feel unsupported? Are you finding it difficult being your ideal self? As Rumi wrote “you are not a drop in the ocean, you are the entire ocean in a drop.”
Everything in life began with a thought, your intention to seek change has already started the process of growth.
A little about me:
I am a Harford County native who has provided therapy to a diversified demographic in Baltimore and New York City. I have worked in a variety of settings to address stated issues such as: stress, depression, anxiety, burnout, chronic pain, substance misuse or addiction concerns, and low self-esteem.
I enjoy working with kids, adolescents, and adults and welcome those that may feel unheard or unseen.
Waqas’ Specialties
What you can expect from me:
I often seek the strengths in my clients and find a way to humbly and directly pull those strengths into the therapy room. I am naturally an empathic person and I hope that is evident when we meet.
I believe that a certain level of candor and humor can nourish the therapeutic relationship. Once we have made that connection, I often incorporate cognitive and behavioral strategies and techniques into our work if that is appropriate for you.
I look forward to empowering you to thrive within your mental health.
