Shumayl Farooq, LCSW
I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with a Master’s degree in Social Work from Rutgers University. Over the years, I’ve had the privilege of supporting children, adolescents, adults, couples, and families through individual and group therapy. I have supported clients navigating many different mental health challenges including trauma, depression, anxiety, ADHD, behavioral concerns and crisis situations.
Previously, I supervised a 24/7 Mobile Response Support Service for children in Central New Jersey and provided care in a partial treatment program for adolescents and adults. These experiences have shaped my passion for helping people build resilience, self-awareness, and meaningful change with the focus on personal growth and healing.
My approach is compassionate and collaborative — I believe in creating a safe, respectful space where you feel heard and supported. My mantra is: “We will work through it together.” I use evidence-based techniques, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), mindfulness, play therapy, brain spotting and strength-based methods, tailored to meet your unique needs.
My goal is to provide you with a safe haven where you can explore solutions, heal, and move forward feeling empowered.
