Hello, my name is Fiza Rab and I am in my second last year of my Master's in Clinical Mental Health Counseling program at Northwestern University. I also hold a Bachelor's in Psychology from the University of Cincinnati. My decision to pursue a career as a Mental Health Counselor is rooted in my deep curiosity and concern for mental health issues that people come across. My aim is to build a therapeutic relationship which fosters empathy, concern, compassion and openness. I view the psychodynamic approach as a wholesome concept and try to integrate it within therapy. My primary concern is to make my clients feel comfortable to share their feelings, thoughts, behaviors and concerns with me to promote a healthy understanding of the self. I am a mom of one beautiful daughter and I love spending time with my husband and daughter. I love food and enjoy exploring various cuisines.
