About
I believe that even through setbacks and unimaginable life events, compassionate support can help us grow, heal, and embrace that we’re all a work in progress.
I am passionate about helping individuals navigate life's challenges and create meaningful, lasting change. I provide a supportive, nonjudgmental environment where clients can feel heard throughout their therapeutic journey. I work with individuals who may be experiencing anxiety, depression, and other emotional or behavioral challenges. Many clients come to therapy feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or uncertain about how to move forward. Others are seeking personal growth, healthier coping strategies, improved relationships, or a deeper understanding of themselves. My approach is collaborative and client-centered.
I believe that while therapists provide guidance, support, and clinical expertise, clients are the experts on their own lives. Together, we identify strengths, explore obstacles, and develop practical tools that support healing and resilience. My goal is to help clients make meaningful changes while building greater confidence and self-awareness along the way.
Life's challenges can feel heavy, but healing is possible. My goal is to provide a safe, compassionate space where you can explore, grow, and move forward with confidence. If you're ready to take the next step, I would be honored to support you along the way.

As someone who has experienced personal trauma and loss, I have an authentic understanding of how painful life circumstances can impact us, and I believe that building new life skills within a safe, compassionate space can empower us to heal, grow, and create meaningful change.
I’m Ghadia Ilham, MSW, ACSW, and I provide compassionate, person-centered therapy grounded in trauma-informed care. My clinical experience includes supporting adolescents and adults navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, PTSD, chronic illness and adjustment, life transitions, and emotional challenges. I work with clients who may feel overwhelmed, stuck, or uncertain and are seeking a safe space to process their experiences, develop healthy coping skills, strengthen emotional well-being, and create meaningful change.
I use a person-centered, trauma-informed approach, drawing from CBT, motivational interviewing, and solution-focused techniques to meet each client where they are. I help clients navigate anxiety, depression, trauma, PTSD, chronic illness and adjustment while developing coping skills, emotional awareness, and practical tools for lasting growth.
You don’t have to navigate life’s challenges alone.

As an African American, cisgender Female, I am passionate and relational when working with communities of color, and I understand the importance of being seen and understood, while also recognizing the need to express personal experiences without judgment.
I am an associate clinical social worker (ACSW) with 3 years of experience providing client-centered, trauma-informed care. I support individuals navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, life transitions, and identity- or relationship-related concerns. My work is grounded in empathy, collaboration, and evidence-based practice, and I strive to create a nonjudgmental space where clients feel seen, understood, and supported as they work toward emotional stability and personal growth.
I have my master’s degree in social welfare from the University of California, Berkeley. My approach integrates cognitive behavioral strategies, motivational interviewing, talk therapy, and trauma-informed care. When appropriate, I incorporate creative, play-based, and expressive techniques to support emotional processing in a developmentally responsive way.
Reaching out for support can feel vulnerable, and you do not have to navigate life’s challenges alone. I offer a collaborative and supportive environment where your experiences are honored, and your goals guide our work. Together, we will build insight, resilience, and practical coping skills to help you move forward with clarity and confidence

I am an Associate Clinical Social Worker with 7 years of experience supporting individuals through life’s challenges.

Everyone has the capacity to heal, and it is my honor to help you find your path back towards presence, passion, and fullness.
I’m Anna, an Associate Clinical Social Worker (ACSW). I became a therapist after nearly a decade studying and teaching literature at universities. I work with children, adolescents, adults, couples, and families facing issues such as anxiety, OCD, depression, trauma/PTSD, ADHD, bipolar disorder, relationship conflicts, and life transitions. I’m passionate about the mind-body connection and spirituality in psychotherapy, and enjoy supporting individuals with chronic illness/pain; body image issues; facing challenges in parenting or pregnancy; and those exploring religious/spiritual belief and/or trauma.
I empower you to find your own unique path to healing in mind, body, and spirit. I often use methods from ACT, DBT, MBCT, and CBT, especially those drawn on mindfulness traditions and somatic awareness. My approach is collaborative and trauma-informed. I am also EMDR-trained, using it to help clients process traumatic experiences big and small.
I arrive at each session in a spirit of openness, curiosity, and non-judgmental compassion. I will follow your lead, helping you explore thought patterns and emotional reactions that no longer serve you; gain insight into dynamics past and present; and develop habits and lifestyle adjustments to help you live more fully in between sessions.
You deserve dedicated time with a mental health professional — it can be life-changing.

Couples therapy and marriage counseling, also known as relationship counseling, helps couples work through their specific relationship issues. Some examples of common focuses within couples therapy and marriage counseling include:
The types of therapy used in couples and marriage counseling include:
At Thriveworks, Couples/marriage therapy is led by licensed professionals — often licensed marriage and family therapists (LMFTs) — who are experts in their field and best-equipped to help couples.
The Gottman Method of couples therapy is a research-supported approach designed to enhance relationships by bolstering the bond between partners, resolving conflicts, and fostering shared meaning in their relationship through comprehensive assessments and tailored interventions that improve communication, trust, and the overall health of the partnership.
If you’re facing persistent relationship problems, communication breakdowns, or unresolved conflicts that are impacting your emotional well-being and happiness, Couples/marriage therapy may be beneficial for you.
While marriage and couple’s counseling is typically recommended for couples who are experiencing persistent or severe relationship issues, any relationship can benefit from attending these sessions.
Marriage and couples counseling at Thriveworks is conducted both in person and online by video. We encourage you to choose the option that works best for you and your partner.
On average, couples attend marriage and couples counseling for 12 weeks. However, couples & marriage counseling may last longer or shorter, dependent on the couples’ needs, the challenges they’d like to work through, and the pace of their progress.
At Thriveworks, we accept most major insurance plans, allowing many clients to pay as little as $0–$50 per session with their co-pay. We also offer self-pay options for those out-of-network or without insurance. Self-pay rates for talk therapy range from $160 to $240 for intake sessions and $135 to $195 for follow-ups, depending on your state. For psychiatry services, self-pay intake sessions are $255–$375, with follow-ups ranging from $175–$300, also varying by state. More information on current self-pay costs is available on our pricing page.
Relationship issues can be a typical part of anyone’s life, but there are times when issues turn into more glaring problems. If these problems aren’t addressed, it could damage your relationship to the point of no return
Relationship counseling can help any couple, whether you’ve been together a few months or over two decades. Many couples find that couples and marriage therapy help to improve their relationships after a traumatic event, instances of adultery, or when both people are struggling to compromise.
Meeting with a Thriveworks therapist or counselor could help to mend your relationship. Call our counseling center located in Fremont, CA today for help. We offer evening and weekend sessions, and accept most major insurances.
Many assume couples only seek professional help when their differences become irreconcilable and the relationship is nearing its end. In reality, couples and marriage counseling is beneficial if sought when issues first arise. Consulting a registered couples therapist might be right for you if:
Happy, fulfilling relationships don’t come effortlessly. They require commitment and hard work. Having great chemistry, shared passions, or similar desires is not always enough to maintain a long-lasting partnership. Ignoring or dismissing your differences can be more harmful than confronting them.
Therapy sessions unfold differently for every couple, but there are some commonalities to anticipate. At Thriveworks in Fremont, CA, a couples therapist will want to learn more about you and your partner in order to develop a treatment plan. They may ask questions about the length and evolution of your relationship, as well as your individual concerns, needs, and past relationships.
Couples counseling may incorporate:
Every couple faces challenging moments, but they don’t have to define your relationship. Call our office at Thriveworks in Fremont, CA if you’re interested in working with a licensed marriage and family therapist.
Our therapists offer appointments for couples throughout the week and on the weekends. You can schedule your sessions during the morning, afternoon, or evening. As previously mentioned, there are also virtual opportunities available via video chat.
New clients often meet with their provider within the same week of reaching out to one of our counseling centers. In addition, we offer evening and weekend sessions and accept most major insurances.
