Accepting Clients

Hi there! I’m Tarik, a Queer, BIPOC therapist dedicated to creating a welcoming space for you on your mental health journey.

Licensed Clinical Social Worker in Ilinois

About My Clients

Life can be tough sometimes, and having someone to chat with can make all the difference. I totally get the ups and downs that come our way. With more than six years of experience in mental health, along with my own journey through mental health challenges, I’m here to meet you right where you are. I hope to provide you with the support and tools you need to manage your feelings, all while offering a warm and understanding environment that focuses on healing.

My Background and Approach

I’m a friendly harm reduction therapist dedicated to a trauma-informed and client-centered approach. I focus on the unique needs and goals of my clients, using cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), elements of Liberation Health Social Work, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and mindfulness practices. My aim is to create a warm and safe space for healing and growth.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

As someone who proudly identifies as a member of the queer community and a Black individual with a neurodivergent perspective, I’m passionate about creating a warm and welcoming space for all my clients. I truly believe in body positivity, sexual wellness, and affirming each person’s unique gender identity. My approach to therapy is rooted in progressive values, emphasizing equality and acceptance. I want everyone to feel seen, heard, and supported on their journey, and I’m here to celebrate and honor all identities in a friendly, open environment!
