What's it like to be you podcast by Yulia Otdushi, Interview with Adila Cosgrove interview

Welcome to **What’s It Like to Be You?**—a podcast exploring the inner worlds of people from every walk of life. *In the Room with Therapists* is a series that steps beyond diagnoses, techniques, and professional roles to discover the human behind the therapist. In **Episode 3**, I sit down with **Dr. Adila Cosgrove, PhD, LPC, NCC**, founder of **Anwari Counseling Services LLC**, for a conversation about the person behind the therapist, the experiences that shape the way we care for others, and what it means to bring hope and light into some of life’s most difficult moments. Dr. Cosgrove is a Licensed Professional Counselor with extensive experience in trauma treatment, family therapy, crisis mental health, grief, anxiety, life transitions, and culturally responsive care. She is trained in evidence-based approaches including *EMDR and Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT)* and works with individuals, couples, and families. The name *Anwari* comes from the Arabic word *Anwar*, meaning **light or illumination**—a reflection of Dr. Cosgrove’s belief that healing can begin when we bring understanding, clarity, and compassion to difficult experiences. **Hosted by Yulia Otdushi, LMHC, MSEd**, mental health counselor, clinical hypnotherapist, and founder of The Otdushi Practice.
