Hayat Ataya, LLMSW, Ph.D. Candidate in Psychology and Behavioral Health Leadership

Welcome! I am Hayat Ataya, a trilingual mental health counselor fluent in English, French, and Arabic. I received my Master's of Social Work at Wayne State University. Currently, I'm an LLMSW and have embarked on my Ph.D. journey in Psychology and Behavioral Health Leadership.

I am deeply passionate about therapy and hold my clients in the highest respect, offering them a safe and supportive space to explore their feelings and work towards positive change. My therapeutic approach is collaborative, empathetic, and non-judgmental, with an emphasis on deep listening.

My areas of expertise include anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship issues, marital counseling, and grief/loss. I utilize evidence-based techniques such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Emotionally Focused Therapy, and others to help clients build resilience, improve communication, and develop healthy coping strategies. I prioritize assisting clients in reaching their full potential by decreasing the burden of any trauma and barriers they may be facing.

I believe that mental health is no longer a taboo; it's a health condition similar to other conditions/diseases we as humans may encounter in our life. It's manageable, and we can live with it.

I have experience working with children, teens, and adult clients in both individual and group settings, dealing with issues including anxiety, depression, self-esteem, confidence building, family problems, and difficult life transitions.

Please don't hesitate to contact me to schedule a consultaƟon or ask any quesƟons. I look forward to working with you.
