Charan M. Bashir

As life progresses, we each encounter difficulties that create ripples in our lives. I aim to create a collaborative space to discuss the ways in which clients can feel a greater sense of empowerment to create impactful change within their lives. Creating a non-judgemental space is crucial to me within the therapeutic environment, so that vulnerable exploration of the self can occur. I have had extensive clinical experience working with clients who struggle with identity formation, complex trauma, depression, comorbid mental health diagnoses, and anxiety. I enjoy developing a strong therapeutic alliance with clients in order to facilitate growth in the face of mental health challenges. I conceptualize growth throughout the lifespan utilizing an integrative approach, grounded in Eriksonian developmental stages. I aim to bridge the gap between eastern and western philosophies on mental health and wellness, in order to thoroughly conceptualize challenges and opportunities for growth. I enjoy facilitating introspection in ways that feel comfortable to clients, whilst developing a greater sense of awareness and collaboratively discovering decisions that will greatly impact the quality of life. I utilize therapeutic interventions that are trauma-informed and mindfulness based in order to propel clients forward in their lives. Each individual is unique, and through an interdisciplinary approach I aim to collaboratively work with clients to find the pathway to progress that best fits individualized needs.
