LICSW, 13 years of experience
Hi, I am a licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) in the state of Massachusetts. I have received my Master degree from Springfield college in 2012, and has been helping clients who experienced traumatic events, clients who have lived with anxiety and others who have ADHD to develop coping skills and allowing the client to become the version of themselves they wanted always to be.
In our first session together, we'll start with brief introductions, then dive into the specific challenges you're facing. This will help me create a tailored plan for us to work through in follow-up sessions.
My goal is to support change in client mood from the first session. I believe in respecting your time, that is why my mission is to teach, improve and instill technique from the first session.
My clients are diverse in their age, backgrounds and the issues that brought to therapy. Some of them have been struggling with depression, or anxiety for a long time while others come seeking help after they've faced a horrific event, others experienced a sudden loss of a loved one. My years in working in providing therapy gave me the privilege of teaching and supporting individuals move forward in their journey and live the life they wanted to have.
EMDR is great in instilling coping skills in to client on day one and supporting them in managing and lowering their symptoms right away.
Teach client the mindfulness to manage their symptoms, distress tolerance, emotion regulation and interpersonal skills. Will teach client those skills and review their success and modify as needed.

I just finished my first session with Zainab and I feel so lucky to have found her. Zainab is warm, solution oriented, authentic and humorous. Zainab has already taught me some coping skills and helped me shape a good game plan for a successful week ahead. She even made me laugh more than once, and you can't beat that! I am very happy to continue my sessions with her and I highly recommend Zaniab if you are in need of an intelligent, kind and empathetic therapist.
