Get to Know Takiyah

Therapist | LMFT

Opening up to a clinician and sharing your most vulnerable feelings and memories is no easy task. I’m here to create a safe space and nonjudgmental environment to support you with processing first, and then healing second.

I use an integrative approach to therapy because everyone has different needs. I utilize DBT, CBT, strength-based, and solution-focused therapy. These approaches used individually or combined often create the most effective results.

My Professional Background

I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) in the state of New York. I earned my M.S in Marriage and Family Therapy at Long Island University and I specialize in sex therapy. I have experience working with adolescents, adults, and couples. Through my experience, I have been able to support with antisocial behaviors, personality and mood disorders, anxiety, depression, communication challenges, infidelity, intimacy recovery, family conflict, and sex-related challenges.

Fun Facts
