Spring Counseling NY
Melville, New York, 11747
I believe that every individual has great potential and deserves to live a fulfilling life; I also recognize that difficulties and obstacles are inevitable. My goal for therapy is to create a safe space for my clients to explore how those difficulties and obstacles may affect them — physically, mentally, emotionally, or spiritually — and to use the therapeutic space to practice bringing forward their strengths so that they can see themselves beyond their problems. When you come to me, you’re not just my client. You’re a fellow human with hopes, dreams, vulnerabilities, strengths, weaknesses and ultimately potential.
I work with children, adolescents and adults on issues such as anxiety, depression, grief, divorce, trauma, self-esteem, life transitions, family conflict, and parenting challenges. I use a person-centered model coupled with an eclectic approach to integrate skills from multiple modalities while adapting my interventions to be culturally sensitive.
I am a first-generation Arab American. I received my BA in Psychology from the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee & my Masters from Columbia University. My training is grounded in the Multicultural Counseling & Therapy Model (MCT). I value using evidence-based interventions to tailor my therapeutic techniques to meet each client’s unique individual needs. I look forward to working with you.
