Meet your therapist
Fatima Aamir
she/her · LMHC-LP, Advanced Clinical Intern
Hi! I’m currently enrolled in the Mental Health Counseling program at Teachers College, Columbia University. I create a therapeutic space where healing, self-exploration, and empowerment come together. I honor that we live in a world of interconnected systems, where the flow of power can impact each of us differently.
My approach is trauma-informed and relational, focusing on adapting therapy to individual, cultural, and personal contexts. I incorporate psychodynamic and emotion-focused modalities tailored to needs and goals.
I earned my Bachelor’s degree in Applied Psychology from Forman Christian College in Pakistan. I worked in outpatient and inpatient psychiatric settings and co-founded The Awaaz Movement, a mental health awareness and advocacy initiative for Pakistani youth.
I continue my journey of advocacy and community well-being in New York. I enjoy painting, chai with loved ones, and extra sleep.
