Our Team
Ovais Ahmed, MA, LPC, NCC, CFMHE
Licensed Professional Counselor | Certified Forensic Mental Health Evaluator | Board-Certified National Certified Counselor
As a Licensed Professional Counselor with over four years of experience and a Certified Forensic Mental Health Evaluator (CFMHE) through the National Board of Forensic Evaluators (NBFE), I provide therapy to individuals struggling with anxiety, OCD, trauma, and their Christian faith. I am a firm believer that your past mistakes and current struggles do not define you.
Due to my own experiences, I'm able to relate to and empathize with many of the major issues that young and adult men face, and I come alongside them to promote positive change through evidence-based therapies paired with biblical truth. My forensic evaluation background also gives me a deeper understanding of how life circumstances, legal challenges, and personal history intersect; insight I bring into the therapy room to help clients navigate complex situations with clarity and compassion.
In our sessions together, my goal is to help you feel seen and heard. We'll work together to unpack what's holding you back, develop new tools to face life's challenges, get unstuck, instill hope, and become the person you want to be.
I understand the stigma around reaching out for therapy, but after seeking my own therapy and experiencing the change and healing it brings, I can assure you that the stigma around mental health is absolutely false. There's only one way to find out—let's talk.
One of my favorite quotes to encapsulate why I became a therapist:
“I would go to the deeps a hundred times to cheer a downcast spirit. It is good for me to have been afflicted, that I might know how to speak a word in season to one that is weary”. - Charles Spurgeon

Choosing to seek support, whether for yourself or for a relationship that matters to you, can feel like a significant step. You may be arriving in a season of joy, difficulty, or something harder to name. However you’ve arrived, I’m glad you’re here.
At the heart of my work is a belief that relationships are central to the human experience. The ways we connect with others, understand ourselves, and move through the world are often shaped by the bonds we form, our experiences within them, and the patterns that develop over time.
My approach is warm, grounded, and deeply human. I believe the therapeutic relationship itself is an important part of the work, offering a space where you can show up as you are, without judgment or pretense.
I specialize in relational work with individuals and couples, from strengthening connection to working through recurring patterns, complex dynamics, and breaches of trust. For individuals, our work may explore how relational experiences influence the ways you relate to partners, family, friends, and God, as well as the relationship you have with yourself.
I also work with ADHD, highly sensitive persons (HSPs), anxiety, grief, and life transitions, with attention to how these experiences intersect with your relationships, sense of self, and the broader context of your life. I welcome faith-related concerns as well, making room for both the deeply meaningful and genuinely difficult aspects of faith and spirituality.
You don’t need to arrive with clarity about what you’re seeking. Wherever you find yourself, I’d be honored to meet you there and begin this work together.
