Sara Abdulrasool, MS

I am fluent in Arabic, English, and French. Speaking another language lets me interact with different people and understand the nuances of their cultural identities that may influence their outlook. I obtained a bachelor’s degree in Neuroscience, which equips me to help clients understand that genetic/biological as well as environmental factors are involved in their symptom presentations. I currently hold a master’s degree in community counseling from Marquette University. I intend to work with transition-age minority youth and young adults who are from underprivileged backgrounds like I am. I am also interested in working with those who have suffered from anxiety, depression, PTSD, and substance use disorders. In terms of modalities, I am concentrated on and will utilize dialectical behavioral as well as cognitive behavioral therapies when clients enter my office. I also intend to help people, relieve the burdens in their lives, and offer them hope by helping them deal with their difficult emotions, mental health disorders, and trauma.
