Getting to know Sakeenah Hakim

Sakeenah Hakim, LCSW, utilizes a strength-based and holistic approach that emphasizes mindfulness and recognizes the effects of trauma on behavior and development. She prioritizes the client's needs and encourages a partnership dynamic when establishing, implementing, and meeting treatment goals. My approach The most common therapeutic approaches I use include Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, interpersonal, narrative, humanistic, and holistic methods. My focus I work with a wide range of clients ages 12 and up who have life experiences such as foster care, domestic violence, medical social work/hospice, children and families affected by incarceration, and life transitions (e.g., academic or career changes). Primary clinical concerns include trauma, depression, anxiety, empowerment/self-esteem, crisis management, anger management, conflict resolution, adolescent development, and grief and loss. My communication style I have a nonjudgmental, client-centered, humanistic approach. I'm patient and respect the process it takes to build rapport. I also believe words are powerful and assist clients in minimizing the use of language that feeds negative thinking patterns. My journey to mental healthcare Reflecting on my life, I've always found myself engaging in ways to support the community and the needs of others, whether through working for social service agencies or volunteering as a mentor or tutor. I hold a Master's in Social Work from Howard University, which has further shaped my commitment to this work. My goals for you Goal setting is a collaborative process. I use strength-based interventions to engage and empower clients to identify their personal and clinical goals. My first session with you First sessions typically include assessments, psychoeducation, and an opportunity for clients to verbalize their perception of their needs and expectations for therapy.
