Assia Bukuru, LMHC

Assia Bukuru, LMHC

Psychotherapist
NY
Hi there, I'm Assia! My name is Assia Bukuru, and I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor with a Master’s degree in Mental Health Counseling from The State University of New York (SUNY). Building a strong and trusting relationship is at the heart of my approach because I believe that feeling safe with your therapist is essential for real progress. My approach I view therapy through an individual lens, tailoring my approach to each person's unique needs. I believe that everyone is different, so I use theoretical models that best suit each individual. My approach may include techniques like CBT, DBT, mindfulness-based practices, ACT, solution-focused strategies, or humanistic practices, depending on the individual's needs. My focus I have experience working with a diverse range of clients facing various disorders, including anxiety, depression, life transitions, relationship issues, and mood regulation. As a Black and Muslim woman, I offer a background that some clients may find familiar and comforting. My communication style My communication style in therapy is warm, empathetic, friendly, and honest, with moments of humor that might have you laughing hysterically. My journey to mental healthcare I chose a career as a therapist because I genuinely want to help people navigate their challenges and find healing. I’ve always been fascinated by psychology and related courses; learning about the brain and human experiences has deepened my understanding of what you might be going through. I’ve had the privilege of working with a diverse population across different ages and disorders, which enriches my approach. I love empowering clients to help themselves, and witnessing their personal growth inspires me every day. I believe in creating a safe and empathetic space for you to explore your feelings, and I'm here to support you on your journey. Ultimately, it brings me great fulfillment to make a meaningful impact in your life.
