I am Aamina Farooqi, a trauma-focused counseling psychologist with a strong inclination toward integrating a socio-cultural perspective into my practice. With six years of rigorous study and training in psychology, combined with three years of professional experience, I have come to deeply appreciate the vital role mental health plays in shaping our overall well-being. Prioritizing mental health not only enables us to unlock our true potential but also empowers us to live as authentic and fulfilled versions of ourselves. In addition to individual counseling, I work as a community psychologist, developing social-emotional learning (SEL) curricula to integrate into mainstream education. I am passionate about fostering psycho-social support systems within schools and communities, with the goal of building emotionally resilient and mentally healthy environments. Through this work, I aim to create spaces where individuals and communities can thrive together.
