Aliya Fazal, LPC-Associate

Welcome, and congratulations on taking the first steps towards better mental health.

I am a Licensed Professional Counseling Associate who is passionate about approachable, holistic care in the face of great challenges. My goal is to create a therapeutic space that is welcoming, understanding, and transformative. Therapy can be a difficult process sometimes, and I hope to support you on your journey. I work with adolescents and adults through a wide variety of presenting concerns including depression, anxiety, trauma, OCD, ADHD, and relational issues. My therapeutic approach is to use the intersection of neuroscience, expressive arts, and evidence-based practices and tailor them to best suit my clients' needs! As a Pakistani-American with a Muslim background, I have a deep understanding of the impact of cultural identity on mental health. My passion lies in helping clients from a variety of personal backgrounds explore themselves safely and creatively. 

I graduated with a Bachelor of Science in Neuroscience and Psychology from the University of Texas at Dallas, and a Master of Science in Professional Counseling from Southern Methodist University. Throughout my coursework, I developed experience in understanding how trauma affects the brain and body and utilized this information to help clients reach their goals.

Outside of sessions I enjoy watercolor painting, listening to audiobooks and podcasts, and scouting out new plant and coffee shops.
