Obsessive-compulsive disorder therapists & psychiatrists in Newark, NJ

Hi there, I'm Ibrahim!

I have over 5 years of experience as a mental health practitioner, working in outpatient clinics and inpatient psychiatric units. My primary focus has been on providing medication management and talk therapy to individuals with severe mental health issues, including depression, bipolar disorder, anxiety, etc, starting age of 12 years to late adulthood. I am passionate about creating a safe, supportive environment to help each client achieve their goals and improve their quality of life. Please be advised that this online telehealth service does not initiate or prescribe controlled medications, such as benzodiazepines or stimulants, due to DEA regulations.

I believe therapy works best when it feels like a genuine partnership. You can expect me to bring warmth, curiosity, and clear feedback to our work together. I’m not afraid to gently challenge patterns that may be holding you back, but always from a place of empathy and respect. My goal is to help you understand yourself more deeply and build the emotional skills needed to feel more grounded and in control of your life.

I am here to walk with you on your journey, offering guidance that respects your individuality. If you're ready to take the next step toward a more fulfilling life, I invite you to reach out and let's start working together toward the future you envision. I have over fifteen years of experience in the mental health field. I graduated from Lehman College with Summa cum laude honors. I obtained my Master's degree from New York University and my Doctorate in Social Work from Rutgers University.

You don’t have to carry it all alone! I strive to create a safe space for you to share your concerns, hopes, and goals. I work with adult clients struggling with anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, career, relationships, addictions, compulsions, among other issues. I received my Master of Science in Counseling from Southern Methodist University. The majority of my career has been in finance, where I have worked as a financial advisor. I was born and raised in Texas and I have a deep understanding of various cultures and religions. I enjoy sports, music, and spending time with loved ones.

I want to hear your story and how your beliefs shape your thoughts which lead to your actions. I utilize Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) to help you break unwanted loops. I also find value in Adlerian principles of finding one's place and creating valuable social connections and relationships.

I am a board -certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP) with a passion for helping individuals achieve mental wellness through personalized, evidence-based care. I earned my Masters of Science in Nursing with a specialization in psychiatry and have several years of experience working with diverse populations in both in person and tele-psychiatry settings. My clinical focus includes mood disorders, anxiety, ADHD, trauma-related conditions and life traditions. I strive to create a safe, nonjudgmental space where clients feel seen, heard and empowered.
