Getting to know Aqsa Mirza
Aqsa Mirza, MA, MHC-LP is a New York State Mental Health Counselor (Limited Permit). She earned her Bachelor of Arts in Psychology with a minor in Medicine, Health, and Society from Stony Brook University and her Master’s degree in Counseling for Mental Health and Wellness from New York University.
She has clinical experience in psychiatric and outpatient settings, working with adolescents and adults navigating mood disorders, anxiety, trauma, and complex mental health concerns. She brings a thoughtful, nonjudgmental approach, focusing on meeting clients where they are in their journey.
What should a new client know about working with you?
I approach therapy with a deep respect for the adaptive ways people learn to survive long before they feel understood. I tend to work in a collaborative way, which means I do not view myself as the expert on your life. Instead, I see therapy as something we walk through together, with authenticity and trust at the core of our work.
My style is grounded in compassion and a steady attentiveness to both inner experience and lived context. I enjoy drawing from somatic work, multicultural approaches, trauma-informed care, and a psychodynamic lens to explore the patterns that shape your thoughts, emotions, and behaviors. I also pay close attention to nervous system dysregulation, helping you understand how the body responds to stress, and how those responses can be supported, understood, and better managed over time. Additionally, I use a social justice lens to explore the impact of the world we live in and how systems, environments, and cultural narratives impact the way we come to understand ourselves and one another.
I believe that healing begins when we feel seen—not just for our struggles, but for our full and complex humanity. Whether you are navigating identity, grief, or trauma, therapy can become a space to slow down, make sense of what has felt overwhelming, and reconnect with the parts of you that may have been pushed away. We begin with where you are, and we move with intention from there.
What is your typical process for working with clients?
I usually begin by focusing on building safety and trust before moving into deeper clinical work. I want clients to feel understood not only in terms of symptoms, but within the context of their identities, culture, and lived experiences. Early in treatment, I spend time understanding how clients make meaning of themselves and what they have been through.
I pay attention to themes around attachment, emotional regulation, family dynamics, identity development, trauma, and the ways broader systems and expectations may have shaped a client’s worldview. While I value structure and clinical conceptualization, I remain flexible and responsive to what each client needs in the room in real time.
My approach is integrative, drawing from somatic, psychodynamic, trauma-informed, and person-centered frameworks. I often explore both present day patterns and the underlying emotional experiences that give rise to them. At the same time, I want therapy to feel practical and grounding, so I support clients in building emotional awareness, coping strategies, communication skills, and self-understanding that can carry into their daily lives.
I consider the therapeutic relationship itself to be incredibly meaningful. I pay close attention to how clients experience connection and vulnerability within sessions, as these dynamics often mirror broader relational patterns outside of the room. Throughout the process, I aim to work collaboratively so healing feels like something we are doing together, rather than something being done to the client.
