Dr. Adila Cosgrove, PhD, LPC, NCC 

​​

My name is Dr. Adila Cosgrove, the founder of Anwari Counseling Services LLC. I hold a PhD in Counseling Education and Supervision from Capella University, and I’m a Licensed Professional Counselor in New Jersey and Pennsylvania, as well as a telehealth provider in Florida. I am certified in Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT) and EMDR therapy, two evidence-based approaches that allow me to support clients working through trauma, anxiety, grief, and life transitions.

​

I bring extensive experience from both outpatient and inpatient settings, where I’ve helped individuals successfully regain independence and stability. My background also includes working in emergency departments completing psychiatric evaluations, which has equipped me with the ability to respond calmly and effectively to urgent mental health needs.

​

My therapeutic style is integrative, drawing from CBT, Person-Centered Therapy, Solution-Focused Therapy, TF-CBT, and EMDR. I use EMDR specifically to help clients process trauma, loss, anxiety, and painful memories so they can move forward with resilience and clarity. I also spent two years as a family-based therapist, supporting families through culturally sensitive, connection-focused interventions that promoted healing and understanding. With more than three years of experience

in child custody evaluations, I bring a strong understanding of the legal system and a child-centered approach to every case. My work is guided by what best supports children’s well-being, and I offer parents practical tools and guidance as they navigate this challenging process.

​​

Above all, I am committed to providing compassionate, personalized care. I tailor every therapeutic plan to each client’s unique needs, goals, and lived experiences. My goal is to walk alongside you offering support, expertise, and a safe space as you work toward healing, recovery, and lasting personal growth.

​

If you’re looking for trauma therapy, EMDR therapy, anxiety counseling, or culturally aware mental health support in NJ, PA, or via telehealth in Florida, I’m here to help.
