Psychotherapy serves to help people alleviate suffering and develop the capacity for new, positive experiences. Suffering comes in various forms, including anxiety or fear, depression, family and interpersonal conflict, or poor self esteem. Often we operate based on patterns outside of our awareness that were learned in childhood and may no longer be useful to us as adults. By bringing these patterns into one's awareness, we can work to identify and explore new, desired ways of relating to oneself and one's environment. My approach to treatment is holistic and collaborative, as I tailor my practice according to the wants and needs of each individual. Through empathic listening and supportive feedback, I utilize a strengths-based approach to create a safe environment that encourages the process of both acceptance and change. We will work together to explore and understand individual changes you would like to make in order to reduce suffering, increase insight, and generally improve quality of life. Therapy is a strong investment in self, and I encourage you to contact me with any questions or issues you might like to explore.

Hello! I’m Sakena, and I’m a Master’s student in the Social Work Program at Binghamton University. I aim to create a safe space for clients to comfortably navigate through any difficulties. I understand everyone is different, and with that, I make sure my approaches are in each client’s best interest.

These skills come from a holistic approach that is person-centered and follows CBT and SFBT. My goal as your therapist is to help you reach your goals. I believe this journey is a collaborative process, and you can progress through it at your own pace.

Everyday someone struggles with the idea of whether therapy is the right choice for them. Many people attempt to “push through”, ignore or avoid dealing with issues that may be reoccurring in their life. For some it’s about not wanting to share personal information with a stranger. Other times it’s about fear of trying something new. For many it’s about believing that they can resolve issues without support from others. Some may feel that seeking therapy is a sign of weakness. Oddly enough it takes strength and self awareness to recognize when support may be helpful. The goal of the clinician is always to provide support in a nonjudgmental, non threatening environment. If you’re reading this you have taken the first step toward change. Today is a Perfect Day to start on a journey toward a better you.
Creating a space for someone to feel supported and heard is my first priority. The most important aspect of a therapeutic relationship is the dynamic between client and therapist. When you truly feel comfortable and understood by your therapist then that is when therapy can thrive. The goal in the work we do is to focus on assisting you in healing so that you are able to use the space and time we have to decipher what would work best for you to move forward. Therapy is a place for you to unwind, unload and have an opportunity to speak your thoughts out loud, reflect and make sense of how you would like to proceed away from stress, anxiety, anger, melancholy or behaviors that are no longer useful and yet challenging to change.
