Meet Atiyana…
I am a Licensed Master Social Worker, LMSW. As a therapist, I am dedicated to helping others create healthier minds. I believe that the key to creating a healthier mind is believing in your ability to overcome obstacles and giving yourself the permission to make mistakes along the way, as you are only human.
I have experience working with youth and adults, in a variety of settings including hospitals, schools, correctional facilities, and outpatient therapy settings. Within these settings, I have provided therapy to individuals, families, and couples. My focuses are anxiety disorders, depressive disorders, attention deficit disorders, and Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). Some of the interventions I engage my clients in are Narrative Therapy, Family Systems Therapy, Trauma Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT). I also enjoy providing psycho-education, which I believe is essential for spreading awareness, dismantling stigma, and helping others to build the insight and or gain the knowledge needed to overcome their unique challenges. My approach is client centered, recognizing the importance of every client's autonomy in their treatment.
