About Me

My name is Masharat Mujib, and I am a Bengali-American Muslim therapist based in NYC. I am a Clinical Mental Health Counselor specializing in individual, couple, and family therapy. I am formally trained in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Psychodynamic Psychotherapy, and I utilize a methodology that is both interactive and solution-focused. I work with individuals and couples who are struggling with a wide range of emotional and interpersonal problems, such as but not limited to depression, anxiety, grief, family stressors, relationship issues, cross-cultural issues, work stress, and sexual issues.

There is a stigma that revolves around therapy in various cultures. My goal is to change that and assure and educate people that it’s okay to access this type of help. While we can't change difficult situations of the past, we can work together to better understand and resolve challenges in our lives. I want to help unearth long-standing behavior patterns or negative perceptions that hold people back from experiencing a more fulfilling and meaningful life.

I am very passionate about helping people understand their identity, behaviors, and issues, as well as exploring to learn more and explore.

I offer Poly-affirming and kink/BDSM awareness psychotherapy because I believe there is an assessing bias in mental health services to BDSM, kink, and Poly clients. Polygamy and polyamory are considered non-traditional relationships, but they are widely practiced among various cultures and religions, such as my own. I am aware of the stigma and biases people face with their identity; however, this shouldn’t prevent a person from seeking help from a therapist who is affirming and aware.

I will efficiently offer you tools you can use to support healing and to become more mindful in practical, everyday ways in order to reach beyond where you already are in order to move your optimal expression and find a deepened self-acceptance, increased self-compassion, self-confidence, and a greater sense of wholeness. My goal is to create a safe, inclusive, sex-positive, non-judgmental, and empowering space to explore the depths of emotions, thoughts, feelings, and behaviors.

I speak Bangla and Hindi.

How can Therapy Help me?

A number of benefits are available from participating in therapy. Therapists can provide support, problem-solving skills, and enhanced coping strategies for issues such as depression, anxiety, relationship troubles, unresolved childhood issues, grief, stress management, body image issues, and creative blocks. Many people also find that counselors can be a tremendous asset to managing personal growth, interpersonal relationships, family concerns, marriage issues, and the hassles of daily life. Therapists can provide a fresh perspective on a difficult problem or point you in the direction of a solution. The benefits you obtain from therapy depend on how well you use the process and put into practice what you learn. Some of the benefits available from therapy include:

· Attaining a better understanding of yourself, your goals, and values

· Developing skills for improving your relationships

· Finding a resolution to the issues or concerns that led you to seek therapy

· Learning new ways to cope with stress and anxiety

· Managing anger, grief, depression, and other emotional pressures

· Improving communications and listening skills

· Changing old behavior patterns and developing new ones

· Discovering new ways to solve problems in your family or marriage

· Improving your self-esteem and boosting self-confidence

Do I really need therapy? I can usually handle my problems.

Everyone goes through challenging situations in life, and while you may have successfully navigated through other difficulties you've faced, there's nothing wrong with seeking out extra support when you need it. In fact, therapy is for people who have enough self-awareness to realize they need a helping hand, and that is something to be admired. You are taking responsibility by accepting where you're at in life and making a commitment to change the situation by seeking therapy. Therapy provides long-lasting benefits and support, giving you the tools you need to avoid triggers, redirect damaging patterns, and overcome whatever challenges you face.

Why do people go to therapy, and how do I know if it is right for me?

People have many different motivations for coming to psychotherapy. Some may be going through a major life transition (unemployment, divorce, new job, etc.), or are not handling stressful circumstances well. Some people need assistance managing a range of other issues, such as low self-esteem, depression, anxiety, addictions, relationship problems, spiritual conflicts, and creative blocks. Therapy can help provide some much-needed encouragement and help with skills to get them through these periods. Others may be at a point where they are ready to learn more about themselves or want to be more effective with their goals in life. In short, people seeking psychotherapy are ready to meet the challenges in their lives and ready to make changes in their lives.

What is Therapy like?

Because each person has different issues and goals for therapy, therapy will be different depending on the individual. In general, you can expect to discuss the current events happening in your life, your personal history relevant to your issue, and report progress (or any new insights gained) from the previous therapy session. Depending on your specific needs, therapy can be short-term to address a particular issue or longer-term to address more complex patterns or your desire for personal growth. Either way, it is most common to schedule regular sessions with your therapist (usually weekly).

It is important to understand that you will get more results from therapy if you actively participate in the process. The ultimate purpose of therapy is to help you bring what you learn in session back into your life. Therefore, beyond the work you do in therapy sessions, your therapist may suggest some things you can do outside of therapy to support your process - such as reading a pertinent book, journaling on specific topics, noting particular behaviors, or taking action on your goals. People seeking psychotherapy are ready to make positive changes in their lives, are open to new perspectives, and take responsibility for their lives.

What about medication vs. psychotherapy?

It is well established that the long-term solution to mental and emotional problems and the pain they cause cannot be solved solely by medication. Instead of just treating the symptom, therapy addresses the cause of our distress and the behavior patterns that curb our progress. You can best achieve sustainable growth and a greater sense of well-being with an integrative approach to wellness. Working with your medical doctor, you can determine what's best for you, and in some cases, a combination of medication and therapy is the right course of action.

Do you take insurance, and how does that work?

To determine if you have mental health coverage through your insurance carrier, the first thing you should do is call them. Check your coverage carefully and make sure you understand their answers. Some helpful questions you can ask them:

· What are my mental health benefits?

· What is the coverage amount per therapy session?

· How many therapy sessions does my plan cover?

· How much does my insurance pay for an out-of-network provider?

· Is approval required from my primary care physician?

Confidentiality

Confidentiality is one of the most important components between a client and a psychotherapist. Successful therapy requires a high degree of trust with highly sensitive subject matter that is usually not discussed anywhere but the therapist's office. Every therapist should provide a written copy of their confidential disclosure agreement, and you can expect that what you discuss in session will not be shared with anyone. This is called “Informed Consent”. Sometimes, however, you may want your therapist to share information or give an update to someone on your healthcare team (your Physician, Naturopath, or Attorney), but by law, your therapist cannot release this information without obtaining your written permission.

However, state law and professional ethics require therapists to maintain confidentiality except for the following situations:

* Suspected past or present abuse or neglect of children, adults, and elders requires therapists to report to the authorities, including Child Protection and law enforcement, based on information provided by the client or collateral sources.

* If the therapist has reason to suspect the client is seriously in danger of harming him/herself or has threatened to harm another person.
