Aaliyah J. Muhammad is a dedicated and compassionate licensed independent clinical social worker serving clients in Washington, DC. With over a decade of experience in social work, Aaliyah specializes in individual and group therapy, trauma recovery, and holistic healing practices. She is passionate about guiding clients through life’s challenges, helping them break free from limiting beliefs, and empowering them to embrace their full potential.

Aaliyah’s journey into holistic wellness began in 2011 after surviving two hospitalizations due to complications from Crohn’s Disease. Despite doctors predicting a lifetime of medication and recommending surgery, she took control of her health by exploring alternative healing methods. Through intentional changes in diet, lifestyle, and holistic practices, she was able to transform her well-being. This experience ignited a deep passion for holistic healing, leading her to integrate mind-body-spirit approaches into her clinical work.

In her practice, Aaliyah serves individuals from diverse backgrounds who struggle with grief, trauma, anxiety, depression, self-esteem challenges, life transitions, and interpersonal conflicts. She has worked extensively with at-risk youth, families, LGBTQ+ individuals, and those facing substance abuse and mental health challenges. Her therapeutic approach is client-centered, strengths-based, and trauma-informed, incorporating EMDR, mindfulness, reiki, and other holistic modalities to foster healing and self-discovery.

Aaliyah believes that every person has the innate ability to heal and grow. Her role as a therapist is to help clients uncover their inner strengths, reframe their narratives, and develop the tools needed to navigate life with confidence and clarity. She continues to expand her expertise through ongoing training in various healing modalities to better support those seeking to break free from past trauma and step into their power.

Residing in Northwest DC with her daughter, Neri, Aaliyah is committed to her personal and professional growth, ensuring she provides the highest level of care to her clients.
