Hamna Amin, LCPC is a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor providing therapy services throughout Illinois. She holds a Master’s degree in Clinical Psychology and has extensive experience working with children, teens, and adults facing complex emotional and behavioral challenges.

As a first-generation American whose parents were born and raised in Punjab, Pakistan, Hamna brings a deep understanding of cultural identity, intergenerational dynamics, and the nuanced experiences of immigrant and bicultural families. She remains closely connected to her roots and values the role that culture, spirituality, and family systems play in emotional wellbeing.

Her approach is collaborative, culturally responsive, and trauma-informed. She is committed to practicing through a decolonized and socially aware lens, recognizing that mental health is shaped not only by individual experiences but also by cultural context and systemic influences. She believes therapy should be a space where clients feel heard, respected, and empowered to grow.

My inspiration:

At Addison Behavioral Health, our approach to therapy is deeply rooted in personal experience. I was profoundly affected when my father, a long‑time Chicago resident, was detained and ultimately deported by immigration authorities. Witnessing the emotional toll on my family firsthand, grappling with fear, uncertainty, and the challenges of separation, sparked a commitment to create a space where individuals and families navigating trauma can feel seen, supported, and empowered.

This experience has shaped the clinic’s philosophy: therapy isn’t just about managing symptoms; it’s about understanding each person’s story, honoring their roots, and offering compassionate guidance through life’s most difficult transitions. By bringing both professional expertise and personal insight to every session, Addison Behavioral Health strives to help clients build resilience, connection, and hope, even in the face of life’s most unexpected challenges.
