About Nasir Ahmed

Nasir Ahmed is a bilingual English-Bengali psychotherapist licensed in New York with 22 years of clinical experience. He holds an LCSW (Licensed Clinical Social Worker) credential and has worked with individuals and families from ethnically, culturally, and linguistically diverse backgrounds. Over his career he has addressed a broad range of concerns, including depression, anxiety, relationship difficulties, domestic violence, anger management, parenting challenges, obsessive-compulsive issues, and attention-deficit concerns.

He understands that people sometimes reach a point where life feels stalled or directionless - whether due to difficult events, major transitions, relationship strain, or the search for identity. In those moments, the strategies that have worked before may no longer help, and new skills, perspectives, and emotional responses are needed. Nasir helps clients discover or rediscover those internal resources and practical tools to move forward.

His style is collaborative and proactive, focused on using session time to strengthen coping skills and support meaningful change. He works to create an atmosphere in which clients feel heard and accepted while also offering constructive feedback and guidance. Seeking therapy is a significant step, and Nasir approaches that step with respect for the courage it takes; he aims to support and empower people as they explore their own answers and pursue greater well-being.
