Bibi Rasul, LMSW

I have always believed that social work chose me, rather than the other way around. Growing up, I was fortunate enough to witness those closest to me promoting the betterment of others, not just family and friends, but often strangers too.

Even the smallest actions can have the biggest impact. As a child, I watched adults around me stop for those with flat tires, move objects obstructing the road, and simply smile and acknowledge everyone equally, regardless of their status. This instilled in me a desire to not just wait for opportunities to help others, but actively find ways to ease their difficulties.

This profession has allowed me to provide support to others during difficult times and promote hope when it is most needed.

Who I work with:

• Adults who struggle with managing symptoms of ADHD
• Adults/adolescents who experience generalized anxiety, social anxiety, and panic attacks.
• Adults/adolescents with depressive symptoms that interfere with school, work, interpersonal relationships, and overall well-being.
• Caregivers experiencing feelings of guilt and struggling to manage responsibilities
• Parents who feel overwhelmed and need extra support

• I approach each session with a deep understanding that every person’s experience is unique and deserves to be respected without judgment or preconceived notions.
• Sessions are a collaborative partnership where we celebrate successes, address challenges, and explore concerns
• Therapeutic approaches are catered to your individual needs, values, and aspirations.
• Sessions are conversational. You can express yourself openly and honestly without fear of judgment or criticism.
• I am educated on different cultural backgrounds, traditions, and norms and recognize the impact they can have on an individual’s values.
• I genuinely care and want to be a part of your journey towards growth and healing.
• Encouragement of personal growth and self-understanding
• Explore and understand underlying contributors to depressive symptoms including but not limited to past trauma, negative thought patterns, and developing coping strategies to improve mood regulation and increase motivation.
• Share practical strategies for managing responsibilities, setting boundaries, and incorporating self-care
• Provide psychoeducation about child development, parenting strategies, and share resources

My therapeutic approach encapsulates humanistic and holistic principles. I prioritize creating a safe, nonjudgmental space where clients can freely explore their inner thoughts. This encourages openness and vulnerability which in turn lays the foundation for impactful exploration and personal growth.

Recognizing that each individual views the world through their personalized lens allows me the opportunity to explore the uniqueness of each client’s perspective. This allows me to cater my approach to meet the specific needs of each client as well as assist in aligning thoughts, feelings, and actions with the clients’ authentic selves and help them live in accordance with their values and potential.
