Founder of the Melanated Therapist
Jameela Muhammad, MSW, LSWAIC
Jameela is a licensed social worker associate independent clinician and is under supervision, graduate from the University of Washington School of Social Work. Jameela has been working in the field of social work, therapeutic and mental health services for over ten years and comes with a variety of skill and experience.
Committed to creating a safe and therapeutic space where people of color are able to break generational patterns of stress and trauma related to unhealthy relationships, societal norms and habits. Refocus and incorporate healthy coping strategies and develop capacity to be empathetic and feel empowered to live without having to do it on their own.
Utilizing a person centered and holistic approach while adapting and incorporating new techniques as needed. I am passionate about normalizing mental health for people of color and do not believe therapy needs to be clinical, but a real conversation between individuals through a collaborative approach.
“You need so much more than mental health or ‘well-being’ in this era of discrimination, invisibility, and psychological warfare. You need an impermeable web of protection for your mind.”
