Have you ever looked at your family and thought to yourself (hopefully quietly): "Goodness, our family is so dysfunctional!" "Why can't we just get along, and connect in a healthy and 'normal' way?" If you've asked yourself any of these questions, you've come to the right address. I'm happy to help your family work to become more "functional." In a direct yet gentle way, I ask my clients tough questions and offer them concrete tools to move forward. Clients come away from sessions feeling well understood and empowered.

I’m a therapist with a social work background, and I work with young and middle-aged adults who are dealing with all kinds of stress in their lives. Over the past decade, I’ve worked with many LGBTQ+ and BIPOC individuals as they navigate the emotional ups and downs that can come with living in a changing social and political climate. Sometimes that stress shows up as anxiety, low mood, or intrusive thoughts that come and go. Other times, it can feel heavier or harder to manage on your own. I aim to create a space that feels warm, genuine, and welcoming—one where you can show up as you are and talk openly about what’s going on. Our work together is centered on what you need and what healing looks like for you. I’m thoughtful, curious, and supportive, and I also know when to be direct. My goal is to help you build tools to cope, make sense of your experiences, and move forward in a way that feels grounded and sustainable.

Hello, I am Shaqueena. Are you tired of being tired? Do you feel that no one understands your situation or that no one can relate? Are you unsure if therapy is right for you? If you are here, then that means that you are ready and motivated to make some changes in your life. Seeking help can sometimes be tough, which is why I believe that we all experience things in our life that goes beyond our ability to cope and when that happens we need a little more assistance. As a licensed professional counselor, my ultimate goal is to first normalize seeking assistance by decreasing the stigma on mental health. In doing so, my goal is to assist individuals in their healing process, to empower individuals to become the best version of themselves and to help individuals to see that life is completely what you make it. My preference for treatment is to utilize a trauma-informed approach in addition to CBT, EMDR and Choice/Reality Therapy.

You will learn the bounds of aspects of your life that you can control and what you cannot. You will understand that the therapeutic relationship is a partnership in which you will be expected to put in the effort for homework, be accountable, and present within the counseling alliance.

Life Transitions
+10
My practice is dedicated to helping individuals navigate life’s most complex struggles—including trauma, substance use, and difficult life transitions. Having spent time working extensively in school settings, I bring a deeply grounded, versatile perspective to therapy, along with an acute understanding of family dynamics and systemic pressures. I bring that same clinical rigor, warmth, and specialized insight to my work with adults, offering a dedicated and compassionate space for clients of all ages to heal and grow.

I’m Nikah, a compassionate and creative therapist who blends expressive arts with evidence-based approaches to help clients navigate life’s challenges. I work with individuals who are not only thinking of change, but ready to take the steps ready to show up for themselves—those seeking clarity, growth, and meaningful change. I support clients through identity exploration, life transitions, work-life balance, mood challenges like anxiety and depression, and relationship or communication struggles. My approach encourages self-discovery, emotional resilience, and authentic expression. Together, we transform reflection into action, helping you uncover your strengths, set clear goals, and make lasting change. The impact of our work extends beyond the therapy room—clients leave feeling more confident, empowered, and connected to their true selves.

I believe that seeking therapy is an act of courage and self-love. Choosing to care for yourself in this way is a meaningful step, even when it feels challenging. I work with clients from diverse backgrounds, including those navigating questions of identity, belonging, or cultural transitions, as well as those processing trauma, life changes, or difficult emotions. In our work together, we’ll explore how your past experiences, relationships, cultural background, and life patterns influence how you feel and show up in the world. I pay attention to how your body, emotions, and the social and gendered aspects of your life play a role, helping you connect mind and body while gaining insight into what drives your patterns. I see therapy as a collaborative process. You bring your experience, and I bring guidance, skills, and support. Together, we’ll explore what’s happening beneath the surface while also developing practical tools to manage stress, regulate emotions, and strengthen relationships. The work we do together is about understanding yourself more fully, finding ways to navigate life’s challenges with confidence, and creating lasting change that feels authentic and meaningful to you. Therapy can help you feel better, build resilience, and cultivate a deeper, more compassionate connection with yourself and others.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) dedicated to supporting individuals through life’s challenges and transitions. I earned my Master of Social Work from Fordham University and a Bachelor’s in Behavioral Science ( Human Behavior with a concertation in community Health) from Mercy College. I have experience working with clients in crisis settings , County Jails, Hospice care, and community-based programs, which has strengthened my understanding of mental health, resilience, and the human capacity for growth. I work with individuals navigating grief and loss, anxiety, depression, trauma, family challenges, and major life transitions. My approach is compassionate, collaborative, and tailored to each person, creating a safe space to explore thoughts and emotions, develop coping strategies, and reconnect with personal strengths. I also believe humor can be a powerful bridge to healing with out minimizing one's lived experiences, I will hold space for your trauma and walk with you, all while cracking some jokes along the way — sometimes we have to laugh through the pain, stress, and discomfort, while still doing meaningful work, finding clarity, and creating solutions together " life is already heavy ". I believe we all has the capacity for healing and meaningful change, and I am honored to walk alongside clients as they work toward greater insight, balance, and well-being.
