Hi, My name is Hina Ansari LPCC. I am a southeast Asian therapist who grew up in Pakistan, but have lived most of my adult life in the US. Having Lived in two separate worlds, gives me a unique perspective I can appreciate the differences and uniqueness of both cultural outlooks. Most people who seek my services are those who want a therapist who can understand intricacies and uniqueness of both perspectives. As a person of color and minority, I find myself placed squarely between multiple perspectives. I truly appreciate my unique background, because it makes me very sensitive of and respectful of all differences. I became a counselor because I love to help people and truly believe in people’s ability to bring about a change in their lives. After I graduated from college, I worked in two separate private practices that served a lot of trauma clients. As I newly graduated clinician who was deeply committed to helping clients, I began looking for tools to better serve their needs.
