Helping You Navigate Life's Challenges with Confidence
Life can throw some tough obstacles our way, and it's okay if it feels overwhelming at times. My goal is to provide you with the tools and strategies to stay grounded, resilient, and ready to face whatever comes your way.

A Counseling Approach that Fits You
Hi, I'm Yazan Akkad, and my approach to counseling is comprehensive—I draw from a variety of therapeutic techniques to create a plan that works best for you. Whether it's Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT), or Gestalt Therapy, I customize the process to meet your needs. I work with clients on a variety of concerns, including but not limited to:

  • Anxiety

  • Depression

  • Behavioral Issues

  • Goal Setting & Self-Discipline

  • Relationship & Family Issues

  • Spirituality & Faith

Embracing Your Unique Background
As a bilingual counselor fluent in English and Arabic, I understand how important it is to feel seen and heard—no matter where you come from. I approach therapy through a multicultural lens, recognizing the unique perspectives and experiences that shape each of us.

Tools for Building Resilience and Self-Awareness
My goal is to provide you with practical tools that help build resilience, increase self-awareness, and create lasting positive changes in your life.

Outside the Office: A Gearhead at Heart
When I'm not working with clients, you can find me working on my cars, taking long motorcycle rides, or spending quality time with loved ones. While I’m passionate about all things fast and furious, I’ll be the first to admit that life isn’t a race. I’m here to support you every step of the way—no matter where this winding road takes you.

If you're ready to take the next step toward healing and self-discovery, I'd be honored to work alongside you on this journey.
