I am a licensed Mental Health Counselor in the state of New York, fluent in both English and Bengali. I have extensive experience working with clients across all age groups, addressing a wide range of concerns including depression, anxiety, trauma, addiction, relationship issues, multicultural challenges, career transitions, life adjustments, and grief and loss.
My therapeutic approach integrates client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), solution-focused therapy, and motivational interviewing. I strive to create a warm, interactive, and collaborative environment where clients feel heard and supported. I am committed to treating every individual with respect, sensitivity, and compassion, and I strongly believe in avoiding stigmatizing labels.
I believe healing happens in a space where you feel safe, understood, and free from judgment. My goal is to help you better understand yourself, build on your strengths, and move toward a more authentic and fulfilling life.

Rabaya is wise beyond her years. I value her opinion and her guided conversation and sessions are invaluable. I almost always leave a session pondering something unveiled during our time together that germinates until the next week when it can be re-examined. I highly recommend her and would not hesitate to suggest she would be of help to virtually anyone.

Rabaya has been instrumental in helping me manage my panic disorder over the last few months. She has helped me identify triggers and has also helped me develop coping mechanisms that have made managing this type of anxiety possible. I have been able to return to a sense of normalcy in my life and now have significantly fewer panic attacks than I was experiencing prior to starting therapy - if they do occur, I am able to handle them much better and now very rarely require medication to get through them. Thank you, Rabaya!
