​LPC Associate - Supervised by Elizabeth Land LPC-S

Sharmeen Makda

I work primarily with women across the lifespan, including mothers, middle-aged women, and seniors. I also support adolescents—especially those from Asian, South Asian, and immigrant backgrounds—who may be navigating identity, cultural expectations, and life transitions. As a bilingual therapist fluent in Urdu and Hindi, I provide culturally responsive care that helps clients feel understood emotionally, culturally, and linguistically.

​

I believe pain is often unavoidable, and at times, overwhelming. My goal is to create a safe, supportive space where you feel heard, understood, and empowered to work through challenges at your own pace. Together, we build practical tools and insights to help you move toward a more balanced and fulfilling life.

​

My primary approach is Adlerian Therapy, focusing on a holistic understanding of the individual to reduce discouragement, build insight, and foster meaningful relationships. I also integrate evidence-based approaches including CBT, DBT, ACT, and Person-Centered Therapy, tailoring each to your unique needs.

​

I earned my Master’s in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from the University of North Texas and hold a Bachelor’s degree in Psychology and Child Learning and Development from the University of Texas at Dallas. With additional background in theology and spiritual studies, I offer a culturally sensitive and spiritually informed perspective that supports clients in navigating challenges through their faith and personal values.
