Amara Tanweer, Evanston Therapist

Providing therapy for Evanston young adults and adults

Amara Tanweer

“Over the course of my clinical experiences, I have noticed that although individuals come from vastly different backgrounds, all of them seem to crave a sense of safety—this includes not just physical safety but also permission to freely express their thoughts and be in touch with their emotions. I strive to create this safety through validation, unconditional acceptance, and transparency.

“I believe clients are the experts of themselves and I enjoy working collaboratively with clients to enact the change desired in their lives. Theoretically, I have developed a humanistic and cognitive-behavioral approach to understanding clients and providing treatment. However, interventions used are tailored to each client and derive from numerous different therapeutic frameworks.

“In therapy, I focus on how clients create meaning and are impacted by various events in their lives. I also work with clients to bring awareness to the thoughts and behaviors they unconsciously experience, something we all do from time to time. Throughout therapy, I highlight clients’ strengths and progress, something I believe is very important in achieving change. Because of my own identities, I am also passionate about working with BIPOC individuals as well as first and second generation Americans, especially those of Asian descent.”

It’s National Eating Disorder Awareness Week! Th It’s National Eating Disorder Awareness Week! Thank you @equiphealth and @projectheal for this helpful graphic describing how eating disorders can be so difficult to treat and why many don’t get help until symptoms have progressed. At Mindful Psychology Associates, we have several eating disorder specialists who are experienced in treating the whole spectrum of eating disorders and disordered eating, and we work collaboratively with physicians, dieticians, and psychiatrists who are also trained to work within a collaborative treatment team. Help is available!
