Hi there, I'm Farooq!
My name is Farooq Alihassan, MA,LPC,NCC, As a BIPOC therapist, I provide a holistic, culturally sensitive space for healing, with expertise in addressing childhood trauma and family of origin issues. I support clients navigating challenges in their roles as professionals, siblings, parents, friends, or partners while coping with the impacts of oppressive systems.
My approach
My Approach draws heavily from Liberation-Based Psychology, Anti-oppression, & social justice. I have an Intersectional lens as well as strong awareness & sensitivity to an individual's various identities and how they are perceived in the world.
My focus
My clients are those who need assistance in navigating the challenges of their lives as professionals, siblings, parents, friends or partners impacted by various oppressive systems who are seeking support to address their anxiety, depression and relationship issues.
My communication style
I strive to provide a decolonizing, holistic and culturally sensitive space in which an individual can find healing. I have significant experience working with individuals that have experienced family trauma I believe that personal and relational problems are often linked to broader social issues, systemic oppression and family of origin.
My journey to mental healthcare
My journey began as an artist and photojournalist, where I was drawn to capturing the depth and complexity of human stories. This work sparked a genuine curiosity about the unique experiences of individuals and a desire to do more meaningful, transformative work. That passion led me to therapy, where I now support people in navigating their own stories and finding healing and growth.
