Are you ready for a change? Are you ready to live a life of quality instead of just existing? Are you ready to discover or invent your purpose?
My name is Fatuma Lalugba and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in New Jersey with over 10 years of experience working in the social work field. My experience includes working with individuals who have been diagnosed with Depression, Generalized Anxiety, Polysubstance Dependence Disorder, and Post Traumatic Stress Disorder. I have also worked with individuals who have had trouble managing Work/Life Balance, Intimacy and Relationship Issues, Familial Conflict, Life Stressors, Parent/Child Conflict, Trauma, and Low Self Esteem/Negative View of Self. Modality of treatment is client specific including Cognitive Behavior Therapy, Strength Based Theory, Mindfulness Techniques, and Motivational Interviewing.
Therapy is a collaborative process and my purpose in your process is to assist the individual in reaching their full potential while integrating or discovering your innate qualities which may have gotten lost as a result of LIFE. I create an experience that is not only client specific, safe, and nonjudgmental but inclusive of the Multiculturalism Perspective, Awareness, and Acknowledgement. Everyone has the right to experience and live a life of happiness. To live a life without setbacks means that you are not living your truth! While completing the work to either achieve your goals, learn new skills, or symptom management you will learn that the quality of life you create can be beautiful, realistic, and manageable. It’s time to stop living a life of only existing and to start living a life of purpose.

Fatuma is amazing plain and simple. Her demeanor, advice, positivity, and her education has been more helpful than I can put into words. She has helped me learn how to be true to myself, love myself, and grow after severe trauma. I wish I could promote her more. I'd recommend her in a heartbeat.
