Getting to know Afifa Barone
Hi, my name is Afifa, and I am an LCSW in NY and a LICSW in MA. I hold a Master’s in Social Work from Yeshiva University. I specialize in helping individuals navigate life’s challenges. I am passionate about empowering people to make meaningful changes and am dedicated to providing evidence-based treatment tailored to each individual. My client-centered approach focuses on the present with an eye toward the future. If you are looking for guidance, please feel free to reach out. I look forward to supporting you on your path toward true healing.
What should a new client know about working with you?
I work through the environmental, psychological, behavioral, interpersonal, and situational factors that contribute to wellness. I assist with identifying negative or distorted thinking patterns that often lead to feelings of hopelessness and helplessness. I provide psycho-education on specific life problems that may help.
What is your typical process for working with clients?
My approach is integrative and helps individuals explore and challenge habits, thoughts, and patterns impacting emotions, behaviors, relationships, sleep, work, energy, motivation, and goals. I address environmental, psychological, behavioral, interpersonal, and situational factors that contribute to wellness. I assist in identifying negative or distorted thinking patterns that lead to hopelessness and helplessness. I also provide psychoeducation on life problems that may increase depression and help clients understand how to improve those challenges. My focus is that I know everyone’s experience is unique, and life can be unpredictable. I create individualized treatment plans tailored to each client’s needs. I strive to provide a safe, understanding environment while helping people find the courage to access their own capacity for healing. I have experience with depression, trauma, anxiety, substance abuse, relationship conflicts, and more. I use cognitive-behavioral therapy, mindfulness, psychodynamic psychotherapy, and other evidence-based approaches to help people get back on track. I recognize the healing journey can be challenging and filled with doubts and fears, and I am here to support you through it.
