About
As someone who has experienced personal trauma and loss, I have an authentic understanding of how painful life circumstances can impact us, and I believe that building new life skills within a safe, compassionate space can empower us to heal, grow, and create meaningful change.
I’m Ghadia Ilham, MSW, ACSW, and I provide compassionate, person-centered therapy grounded in trauma-informed care. My clinical experience includes supporting adolescents and adults navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, PTSD, chronic illness and adjustment, life transitions, and emotional challenges. I work with clients who may feel overwhelmed, stuck, or uncertain and are seeking a safe space to process their experiences, develop healthy coping skills, strengthen emotional well-being, and create meaningful change.
I use a person-centered, trauma-informed approach, drawing from CBT, motivational interviewing, and solution-focused techniques to meet each client where they are. I help clients navigate anxiety, depression, trauma, PTSD, chronic illness and adjustment while developing coping skills, emotional awareness, and practical tools for lasting growth.
You don’t have to navigate life’s challenges alone. I’m here to offer a supportive, nonjudgmental space where you can feel heard, explore your experiences, and move toward greater confidence and well-being. When you’re ready, I invite you to take the next step and begin your journey toward meaningful change.

Couples therapy and marriage counseling, also known as relationship counseling, helps couples work through their specific relationship issues. Some examples of common focuses within couples therapy and marriage counseling include:
The types of therapy used in couples and marriage counseling include:
At Thriveworks, Couples/marriage therapy is led by licensed professionals — often licensed marriage and family therapists (LMFTs) — who are experts in their field and best-equipped to help couples.
The Gottman Method of couples therapy is a research-supported approach designed to enhance relationships by bolstering the bond between partners, resolving conflicts, and fostering shared meaning in their relationship through comprehensive assessments and tailored interventions that improve communication, trust, and the overall health of the partnership.
If you’re facing persistent relationship problems, communication breakdowns, or unresolved conflicts that are impacting your emotional well-being and happiness, Couples/marriage therapy may be beneficial for you.
While marriage and couple’s counseling is typically recommended for couples who are experiencing persistent or severe relationship issues, any relationship can benefit from attending these sessions.
Marriage and couples counseling at Thriveworks is conducted both in person and online by video. We encourage you to choose the option that works best for you and your partner.
On average, couples attend marriage and couples counseling for 12 weeks. However, couples & marriage counseling may last longer or shorter, dependent on the couples’ needs, the challenges they’d like to work through, and the pace of their progress.
At Thriveworks, we accept most major insurance plans, allowing many clients to pay as little as $0–$50 per session with their co-pay. We also offer self-pay options for those out-of-network or without insurance. Self-pay rates for talk therapy range from $160 to $240 for intake sessions and $135 to $195 for follow-ups, depending on your state. For psychiatry services, self-pay intake sessions are $255–$375, with follow-ups ranging from $175–$300, also varying by state. More information on current self-pay costs is available on our pricing page.
Professional relationship therapists are highly trained to help identify hidden dynamics in couples and help improve overall communication. If you and your partner are interested in working with this kind of professional, consider reaching out to Thriveworks in Modesto, CA – we can help you schedule your first couples therapy or marriage counseling session.
Being a human is hard. But being a human within a couple or a marriage is arguably harder. Then you have not one, but two complicated psyches to deal with, and they don’t always harmonize. Here are some signs that your marriage or intimate relationship could benefit from professional support from a counselor at Thriveworks in Modesto, CA:
Just because you notice signs that your relationship could use some special attention, doesn’t mean that it’s broken. This is the best time for relationship counselors and marriage therapists to swoop in and help figure out what’s going on. Couples therapists at Thriveworks in Modesto, CA are trained to see and understand the perspectives of both parties. The point of therapy isn’t to determine who’s “right” and who’s “wrong.” An exceptional therapist can help deepen everyone’s understanding of each other’s strengths and vulnerabilities – and enhance intimate bonds along the way.
