Mahnoor Aftab, LMHC
My name is Mahnoor Aftab, and I am a licensed mental health counselor. I graduated from the University of Connecticut (UConn) with a bachelor’s degree in allied health sciences followed by a master’s degree in clinical mental health counseling with a concentration in Advanced Trauma Informed Counseling from Bay Path University (BPU). Following my graduation, I worked as an outpatient behavioral health clinician in an integrated healthcare system, Caring Health Center, for approximately 2.5 years where I also completed my internship. Additionally, I have also been an adjunct professor at BPU since 2023 where I currently teach Counselling and Co-occurring disorder and have previously taught Psychopathology.
Mahnoor Aftab’s ideal client is an individual contending with anxiety and depressive disorders, mood disorders, Obsessive-Compulsive and Related Disorders, Trauma- and Stressor-Related Disorders, seeking compassionate and client-centered psychiatric care. The ultimate goal of this person's treatment is to achieve mental well-being and a balanced, meaningful existence. They value a cognitive, acceptance, and commitment strategy that combines therapy and medication for tailored, efficient care.
Her expertise lies in blending cognitive-behavioral therapy with a wide range of other therapy styles and tools tailored uniquely based on client needs and goals. By concentrating on these particular areas and developing treatment plans tailored to each client's need, the clinician hopes to support and help clients develop better coping mechanisms and habits.
Trust yourself and reach out for support and guidance. Mahnoor Aftab urges anyone who is prepared to take the first step toward mental wellbeing to get in touch. She acknowledges the reality of their fears and difficulties and is available to assist and support clients as they work together to discover and build the life they want.
