About

In her practice, Rabia provides care to individuals struggling with mild and major mental illnesses. At the core of my approach is belief that every individual has a right to self-determination and ability to make and keep oneself whole. Rabia works from a Person-Centered philosophy that emphasizes meaning in one’s life, responsibility, and the pursuit ‘to be that self which one truly is’. Rabia views counseling as a process by which she facilitates clients in exploration, clarification, and identification of their needs and behaviors and helps them to make changes in cognitions and behaviors that will result in the attainment of life satisfaction and self-acceptance. Rabia utilizes a multi-modal integrative approach tailored to the needs of clients. She incorporates principles from CBT, DBT, psycho-education, and Solution focused modalities. She incorporates a culturally informed treatment approach to behavioral health.
