Her Journey and Approach to Care

Faryal earned her Master’s in Social Work from Columbia University and her Master’s in Applied Behavior Analysis from Purdue Global University. This dual training provides her with a unique perspective that blends traditional therapy with behavioral science, ensuring a holistic and practical approach to care.

This approach encourages clients to explore how past and present experiences shape their self-perception and relationships, helping them cultivate greater self-awareness, emotional resilience, and personal growth.

She believes that joy, curiosity, and creativity are powerful tools for healing—and she integrates this philosophy into her work with clients. Faryal is passionate about providing a safe, nonjudgmental space where individuals feel heard, supported, and empowered to thrive. She is committed to walking alongside her clients as they embrace change, rediscover their strengths, and move toward a healthier, more fulfilling life.
