About Aydah

Aydah Elnemr-Arkzat is a licensed clinical social worker with more than 15 years of experience supporting people across the lifespan. She holds an MSW, a Master of Social Work, from the University of Southern California and practices as an LCSW - a licensed clinical social worker who provides mental health treatment. Over her career she has worked with children, adolescents, families, adults, and older adults from a range of cultural, ethnic, and socioeconomic backgrounds.

Aydah provides telehealth services exclusively for clients aged 16 and older and brings an integrative, client-centered approach to care. She uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques tailored to each person, including trauma-focused therapy, EMDR for processing traumatic memories, grief and loss counseling, treatment for eating and food-related issues, somatic and body-centered methods, and targeted treatment for anxiety and depression. Her practice also addresses related concerns such as attachment and abandonment, body image, chronic illness and pain, domestic violence, and end-of-life counseling.

Aydah is currently pursuing certification in Perinatal Mood and Anxiety Disorders to better support people through reproductive and postpartum mental health challenges. She aims to create a supportive, nonjudgmental space where healing and growth can proceed at a pace that feels safe, collaborative, and empowering.

Evidence-based approaches and online therapy options

EMDR is an approach Aydah uses to help people process and reduce the emotional impact of distressing memories by guiding bilateral stimulation while revisiting and reprocessing those experiences. Trauma-focused therapy involves structured, evidence-informed methods to address the effects of trauma and to build coping skills for managing symptoms and daily stresses. Somatic and body-centered approaches pay attention to bodily sensations and physical responses as part of healing, which can support recovery from trauma, chronic pain, and stress-related conditions.

Determining the right approach is a collaborative process. Aydah works with each person to identify goals, preferences, and practical needs, and she integrates techniques that best fit the client rather than relying on a single method. This collaborative stance helps tailor treatment so it feels manageable and meaningful.

Online therapy sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging, which allows for flexibility around work, school, caregiving, and mobility concerns. These formats make it easier to access licensed professionals from home or other convenient locations, maintain continuity of care, and choose the communication style that best supports ongoing engagement.
