Hello, I'm Fauzia, and I have been a practicing Licensed Clinical Social Worker for over three decades, working with children, adolescents, adults, and geriatric populations. My specialty areas are self care tool box, depression, post-traumatic stress disorder, complex trauma, anxiety disorder, addiction and many other emotional issues that impact one's daily life. I use various interventions to help my client get the best results, each individual is different therefore not one approach works for all, and I have extensive experience in CBT, coping skills, mindfulness, insight, and self reflection among many others.

I have over 20 years of independent counseling experience working with adults who have all types of mental health concerns, including anxiety, mood disorders, effects of trauma, and those who have abused or become dependent upon drugs and/or alcohol. I have also worked extensively with family members and other codependents of those clients. The heart of counseling is listening to you and arriving at the best possible understanding of your concerns. This starts a process of experiencing and accepting your feelings and thoughts. From this place , we can look at the changes you truly want to make.

I am a Certified Emotionally Focused Therapist. My work supports individuals, couples, families and small businesses seeking to unlock their ability to access the best they have to offer. We all need to experience a secure bond with another to provide a safe haven for comfort and support and a secure base to go out into the world. Together, we can find the secure bond, fun, love, and caring masked by conflicts, connect you with the resources we are all born with that build self esteem, strengthen relationships, bring into awareness and transform old and familiar patterns of communication that are defensive rather than connecting.

Knox Christian Counseling specializes in treating women ages 5 and up that are looking for trauma-informed Christian counseling. A traumatic experience can be anything that has been emotionally difficult to endure. Some examples may be physical abuse, sexual abuse, domestic violence, school violence, divorce, death, disruption in your living environment, homelessness, or witnessing someone else experience a trauma. These experiences can cause feelings of worthlessness, hopelessness, guilt, depression, anxiety, avoidance and nightmares. Carrying on with your day to day life becomes difficult.

Some people experience more trauma than others. Success in therapy is feeling comfortable telling me what’s working for you—but also what isn’t working. It’s about what we can accomplish together to help you face hardship and emerge stronger and with greater purpose. That doesn’t mean your worst day is behind you. But I would like the opportunity to help you see the path that makes sense to you, and to provide you with tools that will help you daily. There is no handbook to make things easier, but there is a cooperation between us that forges strength out of your individuality and empowers you to see through the chaos into the calm.

I have worked with individuals diagnosed with Depression, Anxiety, Substance Use and Aspergers Disease. I have also worked with individuals with psychosis. My desire is to listen to my clients to gain a better understanding of issues that brought them to therapy. This will allow me to better understand the goals that they have set for themselves and identify strategies to move forward. My belief is that each individual has their own strengths but sometimes support and reflection are needed to reflect and build upon those strengths
