"Recognize your habits, acknowledge their impact, and empower yourself to transform them."

Even after years in our jobs or relationships, we sometimes feel stuck, longing for something different. You might think there’s an ideal way to do things, yet remain unsatisfied even after achieving your dreams. Comparing yourself to others, feeling like a failure, second-guessing decisions, and feeling alone or undeserving can result from this. Together, we examine your thoughts, perspectives, and lifelong influences.

If you’re struggling with your emotions, needs, and wants, therapy can be transformational. I offer a supportive environment for those trying to understand their inner world. Anxiety and traumatic experiences can hinder your ability to live fully and connect deeply with others. By releasing these emotional burdens, you can regain control of your life and find a path to recovery and wholeness.

Meet Maryam Abdulrazzak, BS,
Psychotherapy Extern

I am a psychotherapy extern who works with people in New York City, NY state, and New Jersey. I specialize in helping individuals navigate life’s challenges including difficulties in relationships and intimacy, anxiety and depression, traumatic experiences from the the past, self esteem, and complex family dynamics in order to create lasting change.

Feeling trapped and preventing yourself from realizing your potential can be caused by fear, hopelessness, and challenging relationships. Even while we can’t always eliminate obstacles, you can learn coping mechanisms and resilience that will support you as you strive toward fulfillment. You’ll discover how to proactively handle stressors instead of just reacting to them.

My therapeutic approach utilizes utilizes Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) techniques to help you restructure thought patterns and habits that may be preventing you from leading the life you deserve which includes guiding you through trauma processing, anxiety reduction, or relationship enhancement. By blending traditional therapeutic techniques with fitness-oriented strategies, I work with clients to build their self-esteem to develop a positive body-mind connection. This holistic approach recognizes the powerful interplay between physical and mental health, and I tailor my strategies to meet each client’s unique needs and goals.

My approach to treating each client is unique, and adapted to each individual, so that you can:

  • Empower yourself with healthy thinking patterns and reduce thinking that distorts your self-perception
  • Nurture unhealed emotional pain from the past
  • Explore how to connect and communicate with people in ways that are true to who you are
  • Establish boundaries that respect your needs and limitations
  • Improve your relationships to promote meaningful relationships with others

I encourage you to reach out today for a complimentary 30-minute phone session so that we can get to know each other.

Maryam Abdulrazzak is a therapy extern in training under Dr. Fanny Ng with Rise Psychology, a partner of Clarity Health + Wellness.

MY THERAPY STYLE

Working with open and engaging clients who want to participate in the therapeutic process even for those who are unsure where to even start. Curiosity and Awareness is one of the first few steps in embracing your therapeutic journey.

 

I have witnessed first hand throughout the profound effect that an authentic listener and supporter can have while facing difficult circumstances. Psychology has always intrigued my interest, especially the study of how and why individuals develop into the personalities they do. No issue is too minor or too major, in my opinion, to start therapy. Regardless of how different our circumstances and experiences may be from others’, they have an impact on all of us.I really think that it’s important to look at one’s past, present, traumas, and family dynamics if that is what a client is looking to explore during sessions.  Being a therapist allows me to combine my empathy, curiosity, and commitment to lifelong learning to help others lead more fulfilling lives.

Therapy is a safe and confidential space where you may discuss anything on your mind. It is a safe space to work on improving your understanding of yourself and to explore your thoughts without judgment.

As a therapist with experience working with a diverse range of populations and backgrounds, I have gained a deep understanding of the unique struggles individuals face throughout their lives. This awareness has shown me how different environments and experiences shape people’s perspectives and challenges. These experiences allow me to continually learn and adapt my approach to meet each person’s specific needs. This ongoing learning journey makes my work incredibly rewarding, enabling me to provide the most effective and personalized support for every client.
