Najamulsahr "Najam" Mehmood, LPC

Najamulsahr "Najam" Mehmood is a Georgia-licensed therapist with 15 years of professional experience who now practices psychotherapy full time. She combines training as a licensed professional counselor - LPC - with previous training and work as a medical doctor - MD - to offer a perspective that attends to both emotional and physical aspects of well-being. Having transitioned from clinical medicine to full-time psychotherapy, she brings a broad clinical background to her work with individuals and families.

Najam focuses on anxiety and stress, relationship and family concerns, depression, and trauma and abuse, including childhood trauma. Her practice also addresses related challenges such as abandonment and attachment issues, communication problems, divorce and separation, guilt and shame, impulsivity, isolation and loneliness, mood disorders, social anxiety and phobia, and women’s issues. She works with people coping with post-traumatic stress, narcissistic dynamics, and struggles around self-love and life purpose.

Her approach blends evidence-based therapeutic techniques with mindfulness practices and hypnotherapy to tailor treatment to each person’s needs. She emphasizes respect, sensitivity, and compassion while supporting clients through change. Najam aims to help clients move toward a calmer, more fulfilling life and offers collaborative clinical support for people ready to take the first courageous step toward that goal.

Evidence-Based Techniques and Flexible Online Care

Najam integrates mindfulness practices into her work, teaching simple attention and breathing strategies that help people reduce reactivity, manage stress, and build awareness of thoughts and emotions. Mindfulness can be helpful for anxiety, mood regulation, and improving focus in relationships.

She also incorporates hypnotherapy when appropriate, using guided relaxation and focused attention to support behavior change, reduce intense symptoms, and access resources for coping. Hypnotherapy can complement talk therapy for issues like trauma-related symptoms, stress reduction, and habits that clients wish to change.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the process, and Najam collaborates with each person to determine what methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. She adapts techniques over time based on progress and client feedback to create a tailored plan.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can take place by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging - making it easier to fit care into busy lives and to access licensed professionals from home. This range of options supports ongoing work on relationships, trauma recovery, mood concerns, and daily stressors while accommodating different comfort levels and schedules.
