Marwa Shueib, LMHC — Therapist in New York

Hi there, I'm Marwa!

Life can be tricky sometimes. It can seem like you are alone. My goal is to help clients feel seen, understood, and heard. Therapy with me will make you feel less alone and more connected with yourself.

My focus

Similar to my approach, clients that I work with are navigating various challenges in life. They may be struggling with anxiety, depression, life transitions, trauma, and relationships. Working with my clients looks like building coping skills that are accessible and consistently applied to their everyday routine.

My approach

I tend to go with the flow and meet clients where they are at in life. My approach is dynamic and free by using various techniques. It allows for flexibility and collaboration while also focusing on goals that are important to my clients.

My communication style

I provide warmth, empathy, and support to my clients. I will listen to every word, remember important details, and create a judgement-free zone. My tone is calm, present, and attentive.

My journey to mental healthcare

My journey into therapy stems from my own personal struggles. I also found a deep desire to help others in a way that feels most impactful. Working with clients over the years has highlighted my strengths as a therapist. It continues to motivate me to continue to improve, grow, and learn.

My goals for you

I see my clients' problems as my own, and I like to work together in setting clear goals that matter to them. I make it my priority to ensure that our work aligns with my clients' values, needs, and expectations.

Our first session

Honestly, a first session with me might feel a bit awkward - at least just the first 5 minutes or so. First sessions are kind of challenging because we both don't know each other and it's kind of expected to share a lot of personal details. However, I encourage my clients to take their time and offer them to go at their own pace.
