Therapists in New York, NY

Hello. I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor in New York State with approximately twenty plus years of experience in working with multicultural individuals dealing with wide range of challenges. I am passionate about helping others become the best version of who they are meant to be. I specialize in working with adolescents (age 10-19), and adults. I work with individuals, couples and families focusing on mending relationships, stress, anxiety, and depression. I believe every individual is unique, so I tailor my person-centered approach from a variety of modalities, including, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Holistic approach.

Minahil believes in the ability of therapy to be a healing and transformative experience. Through empathetic listening and a collaborative process, Minahil believes that people can use the therapeutic space to gain greater understanding of themselves, their journey, tools to cope, and explore their relations to others. She looks at an individual in the context of their environment rather than a singular moving force, and believes in the power of relational healing. She uses a psychodynamic and attachment approach, as well as the Gottman Method.

Everyone is capable of healing; sometimes you just need some external help getting there. I strive to create a warm, non-judgmental and authentic space for my clients. I believe in building a supportive environment while also challenging my client’s negative beliefs to develop new ways of thinking, build different perspectives and concrete solutions to their challenges. Therapy is a collaborative process and we will work together to bring you to a place where you feel safe, secure and empowered. I treat everyone as a unique individual and tailor treatment specifically to the needs of the person in front of me.

Are you seeking an insightful, engaged, practical process for achieving change, passion, and/or joy in your couple relationship? I bring 30 years of multicultural experience to help you change your patterns of stress, fear, and trauma. I use collaborative, resilience, and strengths-based approaches, along with creative mind-body approaches which are especially effective for trauma-related issues. Tired of labels and pathologizing diagnostic frames? As responsive beings we adapt to our challenges and at times our adaptations need an update! Drawing on our holistic and creative selves we explore ways to embrace our humanness.

Being with ourselves can sometimes be very difficult, especially in moments of change, loss, sadness, and stress. This is further complicated when new challenges touch upon older wounds and we notice unwanted repetitive patterns. As a therapist I am interested in holding space for you where you can be with yourself and make sense of your particular difficulties.

I am working with adults and adolescents in a private practice and am passionate about working with clients living with borderline personality disorder, depression, anxiety, intimate partner violence, stress, emotion regulation difficulties, relational issues, and any life transitions. Working with people from all walks of life and meeting them where they're at is an essential part of my practice. I acknowledge and incorporate clients' identities such as BIPOC and LGBTQIA+ into treatment. Ultimately, my goal is to help people feel understood and build a happy and fulfilling life.

I'm a licensed clinical psychologist with experience and interest in issues around anxiety, depression, relationships, as well as aspects of identity including ethnicity, immigration, gender, and sexual orientation. Over the past eleven years, I've worked with adolescents and adults in multiple settings including university college counseling centers, community mental health, inpatient hospital settings, as well as forensic facilities. I also have extensive training in assessment, especially personality assessment, which informs my therapeutic approach. Drawing from a number of theoretical orientations within Psychology, I believe that a supportive alliance is the sine qua non for effective therapy.

My clients and I co-create a gentle and warm space for my clients to explore their identities and narratives. While doing so, issues and stresses related to family, work, relationships, education, intergenerational trauma, identities and transitions are likely to come up. Through introspection, connection, and skills learning, I am here to encourage my clients to grow into and sustain the most authentic versions of themselves. I am experienced in working with members of BIPOC and LGBTQIA+ communities.

If you're feeling overwhelmed by anxiety, depression, grappling with grief, or carrying the weight of loneliness, guilt, or shame, know that you're not alone. Especially if you identify as Queer and/or BI/POC, navigating these emotions within cultural and familial dynamics can feel like an uphill journey. But you don't have to climb that mountain by yourself. I'm here to offer a warm and compassionate space to feel your emotions without fear or judgment, process attachment and trauma experiences, and uncover patterns rooted in childhood.

I believe therapy is a gift that allows one's inner strength to emerge while our personal journey through life's experiences makes us who we are. My own journey has led me to my career as a therapist which allows me the honor and opportunity to work together with my clients to recognize their own strengths and limitations in achieving their goals. All this takes place within a strong, non-judgmental, therapeutic relationship that is built on empathy, trust, safety, and compassion. I have a calm, warm, relaxed style and believe in creating a safe space for you where compassion, support, and humour can live.

I incorporate a collaborative and psychodynamic approach to psychotherapy. I understand your concerns and can remove the barriers that are preventing you from flourishing. My integrative, therapeutic approach is through a social justice-oriented lens, which helps me provide culturally competent treatment. I am open and nonjudgmental to your experiences and can help you create and live a life you find fulfilling. I will work with you to get to the root of the problem, no matter how challenging it may feel.

I'm a dedicated psychotherapist with an extensive and diverse background, spanning private practice, schools, college clinics, foster care, and hospitals, including acute care. With a passion for treating individuals of all ages, I specialize in harnessing the power of evidence-based therapies to create long-lasting positive change, focusing on the core of issues, rather than surface change. I take pride in fostering a safe, warm, and compassionate environment that embraces the unique perspectives of clients from diverse backgrounds. Even the most resistant patients find themselves engaged in the therapeutic process under my care.

Do you feel extremely overwhelmed and are unable to strike a balance between your personal and professional life? Do you feel isolated and disconnected from your surrounding and find it challenging to express it? Support is an essential tool, however starting your therapeutic journey can be daunting and finding an ‘ideal’ therapist can be equally difficult. Therapy for me, is a partnership designed to unravel life’s complexities to create a path of seeking fulfilment and a deeper understanding of one’s authentic self.
