Getting to know Tasneem Burqawi

I’m a Mental Health Counselor who creates a space where you can feel safe, understood, and not judged—especially if you’re used to feeling like you have to figure everything out on your own. I work primarily with teens, young adults, and individuals navigating anxiety, stress, and life transitions—particularly those who feel caught between different worlds. Whether that’s being first-generation, balancing cultural or family expectations, or trying to stay connected to your faith while figuring out who you are, that in-between space can feel overwhelming, confusing, and isolating. You might feel pressure to “get it right,” guilt for wanting something different, or like you don’t fully belong anywhere. These experiences don’t just stay in your head—they can show up in your relationships, your decisions, and your day-to-day life. In our work together, creating emotional safety comes first. From there, we’ll explore what’s really going on beneath the surface while also building practical, realistic tools you can use—so you’re not just talking, but actually feeling a shift. My approach is collaborative, culturally responsive, and tailored to you. I draw from CBT, psychodynamic insight, solution-focused therapy, and mindfulness-based strategies to help you understand your patterns, manage stress, and feel more grounded. I’m warm and supportive, but also structured and honest—so you can expect both reflection and forward movement. There’s also room for humor, curiosity, and being fully yourself. I also work with couples navigating communication challenges, cultural expectations, and life transitions. Whether you’re new to therapy or returning, this is a space where you don’t have to explain your background before being understood. In my spare time, I enjoy trying new recipes, traveling, and recharging through movement, reading, and time with loved ones—and I bring that same balance into my wonderful work with clients.

What should a new client know about working with you?

You can expect therapy with me to feel welcoming, nonjudgmental, and goal-focused. I take time to understand your background, values, and lived experience—especially how culture, family dynamics, and identity may shape what you’re going through. I work to build a strong therapeutic relationship where you feel safe to be honest, ask questions, and move at a pace that feels right for you. I’m an active therapist: I’ll listen deeply, help you identify patterns, and offer practical tools you can use between sessions. Many clients appreciate that we balance talking through what’s happening with learning skills for managing anxiety, improving emotional regulation, and strengthening communication. I also encourage “small wins”—simple, achievable goals that make real life feel more manageable and meaningful.

What is your typical process for working with clients?

We’ll start with an initial session focused on what brings you in, what you’re experiencing, and what you want to change. I’ll ask about symptoms, stressors, relationships, history, and strengths, and we’ll clarify goals that feel realistic and measurable. After intake, sessions typically include: a check-in on current stressors and progress. identifying patterns in thoughts, emotions, behaviors, and relationships. skill-building using evidence-based tools (often CBT/DBT/ACT strategies). practicing coping skills (mindfulness, emotional regulation, distress tolerance). for couples: communication tools, conflict patterns, and connection-building exercises. We’ll track progress over time and adjust the plan as your needs evolve, so therapy stays relevant and supportive.
