Getting to know Bachir Diarrassouba

*This provider does not accept any Medicaid or Medicare plans* I work with adolescents and adults navigating anxiety, depression, ADHD, addiction, spirituality, and race-related stress. My goal is to create a calm, safe space where you can explore, heal, and grow into your fullest self. I view therapy as both an emotional and cognitive journey-one that invites authenticity, builds security, and helps you live with deeper understanding and purpose. I bring warmth, wisdom, and gentleness into every session, creating a space where acceptance leads to growth. I often draw inspiration from music, film, and the world around us-reminding us that healing doesn’t exist in isolation but in all the moments that move and inspire us. Starting therapy can feel overwhelming or even daunting-but it doesn’t have to. I bring trust, compassion, and a steady presence to each session, walking beside you as you take on new challenges. Together, we’ll engage in this process with courage, openness, and care. Bachir Diarrassouba has a Master of Social Work from Long Island University. Bachir Diarrassouba is a Licensed Master Social Worker (LMSW #127680) in New York at Cerebral. Supervised by Laura DeInnocentiis, Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW #095834 NY).

What should a new client know about working with you?

From the first session to the last, you are the experience—you are a universe. Your fears, hopes, and dreams are like constellations, and my role is to help you navigate them with clarity and compassion. I became a clinician because even guides need guidance, and I bring gentleness, curiosity, and courage to walk alongside you as we explore your inner world.

What is your typical process for working with clients?

I work with adolescents and adults navigating anxiety, depression, ADHD, addiction, spirituality, and race-related stress. My therapeutic style is gentle, grounded, and deeply human—offering calm and safety while inviting meaningful exploration. I help clients reconnect with their inner strength and evolve into their most authentic, empowered selves.
