Zaraar Zahid, LPC Intern. Supervised by Noel C Gonzalez, PhD, LPC-Supervisor.

My clients describe me as:

Calm, genuine and real.

Something to know about my approach is:

I work to nurture the strengths you already possess but may be unaware of, and I support and encourage personal growth whatever that may look like for you. I provide the space needed to challenge negative thoughts for a better self awareness.

Together, we will:

work to empower you. We will foster the tools and resources that you need in order to look in the mirror and see your truest, most authentic reflection.

I specialize in working with people who:

Identify as queer and have struggled with living their authentic lives. Whether that be because of the restraints of a conservative upbringing, or an inner battle with the self. I help facilitate self-discovery, self-love and authentic living.

I became a therapist because:

I wish to provide relief, comfort, safety and a helping hand to those who feel unsafe and unloved. To those who feel unheard and lost.

Something that stands out about where I offer therapy is:

We are one of very few practices that offers low cost ($25) 45-minute psychotherapy sessions when you opt in to be seen by a practicum/intern student.

More about me and my practice:

I practice at Noel C Gonzalez Psychotherapy and Consultation as a practicum student. Dr. Gonzalez and his associates treat adults, adolescents, children, and families with various presenting problems. I am supervised directly by Dr. Gonzalez.
