Omnia Salem, LCPC
Hello, my name is Omnia Salem, and I am a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) in Maryland. I earned my Bachelor's degree in Psychology and Master's degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Hood College. I have over five years of experience in community mental health.
I believe therapy should be a space where you feel comfortable being your authentic self, without judgment. My goal is to create a warm, welcoming, collaborative, and LGBTQ+ affirming environment where you feel heard, respected, and supported. I see therapy as a partnership, and I believe you are the expert on your own life.
My Approach
As a bilingual therapist (English/Egyptian Arabic), I recognize that culture, family, identity, and life experiences can deeply shape how we see ourselves and navigate the world. I value incorporating these aspects of your identity into therapy when they are meaningful to you, and I believe that understanding the whole person is an essential part of the therapeutic process.
I work with individuals navigating:
- Anxiety and Depression
- Trauma and Life Transitions
- Stress Management and Emotional Regulation
- Concerns related to culture, identity, and self-discovery
My approach is primarily person-centered and integrates emotion-focused, strengths-based, and narrative therapies. I also draw from techniques learned through Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), somatic approaches, and music therapy. I tailor therapy to each client's unique needs and goals because I believe there is no one-size-fits-all approach to therapy.
Outside of the Office
When I'm not working, I enjoy spending time with friends, traveling, reading, playing the Nintendo Switch, and hanging out with my dog and cat.friends, my dog and cat, traveling, reading, and playing Nintendo Switch."
