Getting to know Benish Farouqi

As a Social Worker for 13 years, I have aimed to create non-judgemental, healing spaces for a myriad of clients. Whether you are focused on brief therapy to reach your immediate goals, or are curious about lasting change, I invite you to take that first step with a trusted professional in your corner. Coming from a strengths perspective, I believe we are all greater than the sum of our parts. Although comfortable using several modalities, I lean towards psychodynamic for lasting healing and existential for impactful results. This is a collaborative process, and I'm excited to learn more about your goals and help you get there. Specialities: Grief, Trauma, Stress Reduction, Anxiety, PTSD, ADHD, Life Changes, Anger Management, experience with and accepting of marginalized communities, and first-hand knowledge and perspective of the South Asian diaspora.
