About me

Huma Sikandar, MA, LGPC is a holistic psychotherapist and in*******al relationships expert based in Washington D.C., providing in*******al couples therapy, holistic psychotherapy and EMDR Trauma therapy. Huma works with couples and individuals to help them overcome distressing cycles that make them feel stuck and empowers them to find stability, create healthier relationships and live an enriched life.

‘Having interacted with people from around the globe, I have always had a special interest in in*******al dynamics. I now used this knowledge and experience to help in*******al couples create a fulfilling life together by developing a deeper insight into each other’s emotional experience, attachment needs and cultural journey. The skills we work on in couples therapy help partners learn to stay emotionally in-tuned with one another and have meaningful, culturally sensitive conversations to navigate practical challenges such as, difficulties in communication, social/family pressures/prejudices, negotiating boundaries with family, trust/infidelity issues, dealing with past traumas, parenting issues, grieving loss, and navigating difficult transitions. Often times the result is couples are able to reconnect and feel a stronger connection with eachother.’

‘In addition to couples therapy, I also provide trauma therapy to individuals using Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing (“EMDR”). As our past traumas can have such a significant impact on our relationships, I am also developing an expertise in trauma therapy in conjunction with couples therapy. Using EMDR and somatic trauma interventions I help individuals overcome their limiting beliefs about themselves and the world that are rooted in their past traumas that hold them back from living a fulfilling and meaningful life.’
