Getting to know Fatima James-Miller

If you found yourself here, it is because you have achieved the first step in recognizing that something has to change. You're ready to take the necessary steps to heal and move forward. You're ready to regain control over your life while developing a greater sense of self, acceptance, and healing from the things that have kept you stuck for so long. You're ready to re-create a new and improved story for your life. You're ready to let go of fear and negative thoughts of not being enough. I'm here to tell you, you're not alone. I will meet you where you are, and together we will work in a collaborative and supportive relationship. I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor with a B.A. in Psychology and a Master’s in Mental Health Counseling from Queens College, City University of New York. I have a range of experience working with children, adolescents, young adults, and families across diverse cultural backgrounds and various settings. Currently, I work in private practice, drawing from an eclectic and integrative approach. I believe that success in therapy begins with the therapeutic relationship. This relationship is a collaborative effort between client and therapist, built on honesty, non-judgment, empathy, and the creation of a safe, encouraging, and trusting environment for all my clients.

What should a new client know about working with you?

I believe success in therapy first starts with the therapeutic relationship, which is a collaborative relationship that takes effort from both the client and therapist. It relies on being honest, nonjudgmental, empathetic, and developing a safe, encouraging, and trusting environment. You are the expert of your life and I will meet you where you are. We are like two travelers together in this journey to self exploration and healing.

What is your typical process for working with clients?

We will complete a free 15-minute consultation. We will then proceed to the initial intake where we engage in information gathering. We will go through the consent process, financial responsibilities, confidentiality, cancellation policy and what to expect in session. We will explore your childhood experiences and memories as you guide us to your present self. Together, we will explore goals that you would like to work on throughout our sessions and we will revisit your goals you've created while tracking progress. We may adjust as needed. I utilize an eclectic and integrative approach that caters to the needs of each client and recognizes each person's individuality with cultural sensitivity. I enjoy working with children, adolescents, young adults, and families.
