About Yusra Al-Shawaf

I am a licensed clinical social worker, having received my bachelors degree in psychology from the University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign, and my masters degree in social work from Columbia University. My social work career began by working with hospice patients, which increased my interest in providing support to those experiencing chronic illness and grief and loss. I also have special interest in relationship skills and treating symptoms of depression and anxiety.

My approaches to therapy are as unique as the clients I encounter. I work to build genuine connections with my clients in order to help them feel safe and secure. Whatever it is that is leading you to explore therapy, I hope that I can be of service to you.
