Background

About Fariha Newaz

I see young adults struggling to adjust in their personal and professional life. I enjoy focusing on the importance of work/ life balance and rediscovering one’s own identity as they continue through life transitions. I also work with adolescents addressing issues such as depression, anxiety, substance abuse, and low self esteem in order to help navigate their teen years in a healthy way. I have a background working with substance use concerns and how it impacts the different areas of life. My experience includes assessment, treatment planning, wilderness therapy,crisis, and case management. I see individuals, couples, and facilitate group counseling. I am a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor in the state of Illinois and in the process of obtaining my Certified Alcohol and Drug Counselor certification.
