Waqas Sheikh, LCSW-C

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.

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.
