Fatoumata "Fatima" Niakate

My name is Fatima. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in New York with 6 years of experience working as a psychotherapist and counselor I have worked with clients with a wide range of concerns including depression, anxiety, relationship issues, parenting problems, OCD and ADHD stemming from various issues. I also specialize in working with individuals who have experienced racism, agism and/or sexism. I have a great deal of experience working with adults between the ages of twenty and forty years old. Additionally, I’ve helped many people who have experienced physical trauma or emotional abuse. My counseling style is warm and interactive. I believe in treating anyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion, and I don’t believe in stigmatizing labels. My approach combines cognitive-behavioral, humanistic, psychodynamic and rational-emotive counseling. I will tailor our dialog and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs. It takes courage to seek for a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first steps towards a change. If you are ready to take that step I am here to dive deeper, support and empower you. I prefer live phone calls. Each session is 45 minutes. I am available Monday-Friday. Please allow up to 48 hours for a response. If it is an emergency, please contact 911. I look forward to working with you!
