Great to meet you!

Welcome! I'm Fatima Niakate, a Licensed Clinical Psychotherapist dedicated to supporting individuals on their journey towards mental and emotional well-being. With over a decade of experience, I have had the privilege of working with diverse populations facing various psychosocial challenges. My academic background, combined with extensive clinical experience, equips me with the knowledge and skillset to provide you with effective therapeutic support.

My approach to therapy

I believe in a client-centered approach to therapy, where an individual is recognized as the expert of their own life. My therapeutic style is collaborative, empathetic, and non-judgmental. I draw from evidence-based modalities such a cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), psychodynamic therapy, mindfulness-based interventions, and solution-focused therapy to tailor treatment to the unique needs of each client.

What you can expect from me

Each session is 60 minutes. I am available Monday-Friday. Please allow up to 48 hours for a response. If it is an emergency, please contact 911.
