Dinha Farooqui, LMHC

Psychotherapist
NY
Coming from a multicultural background where mental health was and continues to be heavily stigmatized, I quickly became committed to bringing awareness of mental health to as many individuals as possible. I hold a Master’s in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Argosy University and a Bachelor’s degree from Loyola University Chicago. I believe that having a reliable and encouraging environment to process daily ups and downs as well as drastic life changes can make a significant and positive difference in our lives. Therapy can at first be a scary place to start, but through my conversational approach, I hope that therapy can become a space of relief, growth, and healing.

What should a new client know about working with you?

I believe that each individual knows themselves the best, and therefore I aim to act as a mentor, teacher, and guidance role in my sessions. In my sessions, I strive to be the bridge between understanding the connection between our thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and how they impact our daily behaviors.

What is your typical process for working with clients?

My focus is to help each individual reach their greatest potential through empathy, reflection, and guidance. For Illinois patients, sessions are self-pay. For New York patients, I accept all insurances listed below. Schedule appointments here: headway.co/providers/dinha-farooqui
