Hi, I’m Fauzia Choudhury, LMSW
Fauzia offers compassionate, culturally affirming therapy for individuals navigating identity, relationships, life transitions, anxiety, and trauma. She creates a supportive space where clients can explore their challenges, gain insight, and build resilience.
As a first-generation Indian-American, with Bengali roots, and a lived immigrant experience; she brings a personal and professional understanding of balancing multiple identities, family expectations, and an evolving self-awareness. She specializes in helping clients navigate cultural, spiritual, and relational complexities, ensuring each session honors the whole person.
Additionally, Fauzia works at Sakhi for South Asian Survivors, where she supports individuals impacted by gender based violence. This work deeply informs her anti-oppressive, trauma-informed approach and her commitment to culturally responsive care. She holds a Master’s degree in Social Work from the NYU Silver School of Social Work.
She works with clients from diverse backgrounds, including Muslim clients and reverts, providing a safe environment to explore faith, process religious trauma, or integrate spirituality into mental health care. Her trauma-informed approach integrates CBT, DBT, emotion-focused, and relational therapies, tailored to each client’s unique needs.
Clients can expect a collaborative, warm, and authentic experience. Sessions are designed to be grounding, supportive, and human, incorporating both depth and lightness where appropriate. Whether working through grief, relationship challenges, life transitions, or self-exploration, she provides a space for growth, healing, and empowerment.
