Fatima Abdul-Azim

Fatima Zahra Abdul-Azim is an African American and Ghanaian woman, with 9-year experience in supportive counseling and case management. I am a hardworking Licensed Clinical Social Worker with a master's degree in social work from Lehman College and a bachelor's degree in psychology Hunter College. I have demonstrable experience working with individuals with mental illness and/or co-occurring disorder from various ages and ethnic backgrounds.

My therapy approach to therapy is to emphasize self-exploration, personal growth and client's inherent potential for self-actualization while being sensitive to my client's needs.

My client can expect in our initial therapy to discuss why they are seeking therapy, their background and review confidentiality. I will self-disclose, if it's going to benefit the client and help build rapport.
