Hina Waqas

I’m a mom of two—my lively daughter is 5 and my adventurous son is 3. I’m currently pursuing my license in LPC while juggling the beautiful chaos of family life! I chose this career path to gain hands-on experience as an intake specialist in counseling, allowing me to better understand the needs of clients before stepping into my role as an LPC. It’s been a rewarding way to connect with people and learn the ropes of the field!

I’m passionate about mental health because I believe it’s just as vital as physical health, yet often overlooked, especially in my culture. Having witnessed the impact of stigma firsthand, I want to break down these barriers and ensure that my family and community understand the importance of mental well-being. My goal is to create a safe space for open conversations and support. My approach to making every day great for the people I serve involves active listening and creating a supportive environment where clients feel valued and understood. I hope to work as an LPC and make a meaningful impact by helping individuals navigate their mental health journeys. My goal is to empower them to find their strengths and foster resilience in their lives.

Outside of GHCS, you can find me enjoying quality time with my family, whether we’re playing games or exploring the outdoors. I love creating memories and soaking up every moment with my kids! When I have time off, you’ll catch me reading a good book or planning our next family adventure. I love exploring new places and creating special memories with my family.
