Getting to know Fatoumata Niakate

Welcome! I'm Fatima Niakate, a Licensed Clinical Psychotherapist dedicated to supporting individuals on their journey toward mental and emotional well-being. With over a decade of experience, I have had the privilege of working with diverse populations facing various psychosocial challenges. I earned my Master’s in Social Work from The State University of New York (SUNY) at Albany and my Master’s in Health Administration from New York University. I am licensed to practice therapy in New York and New Jersey. My academic background, combined with extensive clinical experience, equips me with the knowledge and skillset to provide you with effective therapeutic support.

What should a new client know about working with you?

I believe in a client-centered approach to therapy, where an individual is recognized as the expert of their own life. My therapeutic style is collaborative, empathetic, and non-judgmental. I draw from evidence-based modalities such a cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), psychodynamic therapy, mindfulness-based interventions, and solution-focused therapy to tailor treatment to the unique needs of each client. I am committed to creating a safe, inclusive, and affirming space where clients can explore their thoughts, feelings, and experiences without fear of judgement. My core values are empathy, collaboration, empowerment, cultural Humility, ethical practice and continuous learning.

What is your typical process for working with clients?

I understand that psychotherapy involves discussing sensitive and personal topics. Sessions will focus on past experiences, current challenges, and future goals. I use a variety of therapeutic techniques to help gain insight, develop coping strategies, and work towards positive change. It requires trust and confidence between the client and the therapist.
