Getting to know Sawsan Shabazz-Colon

Hi there, I'm Sawsan! I am a Licensed Mental Health Clinician (LMHC) based in Boston, MA. I have a Master’s of Education in Mental Health Counseling from Cambridge College and over five years of clinical counseling experience. My therapy style blends warmth, humor, and empowerment, creating a space where clients feel heard, respected, and supported. I take a collaborative and personalized approach, integrating evidence-based techniques to help you navigate challenges and foster growth. With compassion and understanding, I am here to guide you toward personal fulfillment and self-actualization in a way that aligns with your unique needs. My approach I draw from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help reframe unhelpful thought patterns, Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) to develop emotional regulation and mindfulness skills, and Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT) to identify strengths and create actionable steps toward change. My Person-Centered and Humanistic approach ensures you feel valued and accepted exactly as you are. Internal Family Systems (IFS) allows us to explore and heal different parts of yourself with compassion. As a culturally sensitive therapist, I strive to honor and integrate your experiences, background, and values into the therapeutic process. My focus I work with individuals navigating life’s challenges and seeking meaningful change, whether they feel overwhelmed, stuck, or uncertain about their next steps. I specialize in supporting those managing anxiety, depression, relationship concerns, self-esteem struggles, and significant life transitions, providing a safe and inclusive space for open exploration. Focusing on understanding, connection, and empowerment, I help clients gain clarity, build resilience, and develop the tools to create a more balanced and fulfilling life.
