Getting to know Firdaus Rashid

I provide individual and couples therapy to adults of all ages, addressing concerns such as anxiety, depression, anger, complex trauma, interpersonal and relationship difficulties, self-esteem, cultural dissonance, professional stress, identity, and purpose. My approach is designed to foster curiosity, reflection, growth, and resilience. We illuminate emotions, identify patterns, and develop insight as we explore the layers of experience that have shaped your story. Our relationship serves to contextualize symptoms, interpret behaviors, transcend old constraints, and expand your sense of choice, potential, and possibility. T ogether, we will determine your priorities and apply practical tools to facilitate the changes you seek, cultivating new, more flexible, and satisfying ways of being. I hold a Master’s degree in Mental Health from New York University, a Juris Doctor from American University, and a Bachelor’s degree from George Washington University. My clinical practice draws on experience in college counseling, outpatient addiction treatment, and private practice. I consider my previous legal career, my sustained commitment to the arts and humanities, and my intersecting identities existing within and between various cultures and contexts as valuable dimensions of my work. Ultimately, the goal of therapy is to achieve a deeper understanding of your mind and a greater freedom in relating to yourself, others, and the world, resulting in a life that feels more peaceful, authentic, creative, and energized. It takes courage and honesty to embark on this path, and is an inspiring act of dedication to yourself. I have profound respect for this work and consider it a privilege to be part of this process with you.
