Najamulsahr "Najam" Mehmood, LPC

Najamulsahr "Najam" Mehmood is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Georgia with 15 years of professional experience. She trained and practiced as a medical doctor before moving into full-time psychotherapy. Najam brings a background in medicine alongside her counseling work to help people facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship strain, family conflict, trauma, and abuse.

Najam uses straightforward, respectful care and meets people where they are. She offers mindfulness and hypnotherapy as part of her work to match the needs of each person. Sessions are offered in English and Urdu for those who prefer either language.

Her practice addresses concerns tied to attachment and abandonment, communication problems, divorce and separation, and post-traumatic stress. Najam also helps with shame, guilt, isolation, impulsivity, mood problems, and questions about life purpose and self-worth.

She emphasizes sensitivity and compassion in the room and aims to create a calm, steady space for difficult topics. Najam helps people talk through painful experiences, learn practical ways to manage strong emotions, and build clearer communication habits.

Having worked as a physician, Najam combines that perspective with counseling skills to support healing from childhood trauma and adult trauma. She encourages clients to take small steps, and she works with each person to find approaches that feel right for them.

How Najam's Methods Translate to Online Work

Najam integrates mindfulness practices into therapy, teaching simple breathing and awareness exercises to reduce overwhelm and improve emotional regulation. These techniques help people manage anxiety, stress, and mood shifts by building small daily habits.

She also offers hypnotherapy, which uses focused relaxation and guided attention to address patterns tied to trauma, habit change, and self-image. In sessions this can support work on shame, impulsivity, and self-love by helping a person access calmer mental states for learning new responses.

Finding the right approach is collaborative. Najam will talk with the client about goals, comfort with different techniques, and what has or hasn’t helped before. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust the plan over time based on what feels effective and manageable.

If you are considering online work, confirm the current session options before booking since formats are not listed here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. It can also let someone choose a quieter time of day or opt for audio-only work if video feels difficult. Licensed professionals, including Najam, can guide how to use these options in a way that matches goals and day-to-day routines.
