Lamya Broussard, LSW, MSS, MLSP (she/her)
Lamya Broussard (she/her), LSW, MSS, MLSP, is a Healer & Wellness Lifestyle Advocate who has been dedicated to serving under resourced communities, especially her Black & Brown communities, for more than a decade. Before knowing the term “trauma informed”, it was natural for her to first consider the root causes contributing to a person’s decisions, instead of focusing solely on their behavior responses. This mindset greatly influences her life’s work and calling as a Licensed Social Worker. Lamya’s specialty area is grief & loss and trauma impacted youth and communities, whom she supports as a certified Trauma Informed Senior Grief Clinician in Philadelphia schools, through a private non-profit organization. Additionally, she enjoys serving grieving and trauma impacted Black immigrant communities & international college students, queer & trans folx, juvenile justice involved youth enrolled in restorative justice diversion programs, Black & Brown frontline advocates fighting against racial injustices and underserved BIPOC communities.
Also, Lamya appreciates every opportunity to eradicate society’s invalidating narratives about Black & Brown youth & our community’s pain, through presentations at national conferences, podcasts, local radio stations, and through consulting and engagement with other community-based organizations. Lamya firmly believes in the vitality of being culturally responsive, trauma informed, non-pathologizing and humanistic when helping our Black & Brown communities navigate their healing journey. Other approaches Lamya utilizes in her healing practices are strength based, talk therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy components and Bronfenbrenner’s ecological systems model to destigmatize, contextualize and process the impact of systemic and racial oppression on Black and Brown people’s mental and emotional wellbeing. Lamya believes in therapy being a collaborative process between therapist and client and greatly respects everyone who takes the courageous step to start such a vulnerable yet rewarding process!
