Getting to know Sephiratu Wahab
My name is Sephiratu (Sephi) Wahab. I am a licensed Clinical Social Worker in New York State with over 10 years of experience. I earned my Master's in Social Work from Binghamton University. I am Black and originally from Ghana in West Africa. I am a wife and a mother of two young teenagers, and I live in New York with my family. I have practiced clinical social work in various settings, including psychiatric hospitals, residential treatment facilities/centers, private practice, and an outpatient clinic. I am also an adjunct social work professor and enjoy teaching when I am not doing clinical work. My clients range in age from transition-age youth, teens, and young adults to middle-aged adults. My treatment approach and types of therapy I use include acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), attachment-based, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), compassion-focused, emotionally focused, exposure and response prevention, family systems, and trauma-focused therapies.

I utilized eclectic evidence base approaches such as CBT, ACT, DBT informed, psychodynamic techniques, motivational interviewing, solution focus, existential technique, and other theoretical modalities by collaboratively partnering with my clients to identify and develop their personal treatment needs.
Recovery and healing is a journey and I am here to help! I am a very compassionate person, kind, understanding, goal driven, hard-working and passionate about justice, empowerment, and seeing others succeed, heal, recover so that they can be the best person they want to be.
