Theo Bizimana, LMHC

My name is Theo Bizimana, an experienced Licensed Mental Health Counselor in NY. I support clients who are finding it hard to manage their continuous worrying and anxious body, or who have lost motivation to engage in their daily actives and are finding it difficult to control their strong emotions such anger, feeling down and stuck. I work with clients to find effective ways to get unstuck and find motivation to move forward again.

If you want to go fast, you go alone, but if you want to go far, you must walk together. (African saying)
I see life as an adventurous journey with many ups and downs. Due to the intensity of the downs, you may find it hard to get up on your own.
My approach is based on partnering with you and walking the recovery journey together by assisting you in getting the support you need to get up and keep going.
I apply cultural humility to work with you to deal with your your journey’s hardships, which may be:
Anxiety and depression
Trauma
Adjustment
Grief
Relationship/ conflict related concerns
Substance use
Self-harm
I am fluent in Kinyarwanda, Kirundi, Swahili and French, and I am happy to utilize your emotional language if needed.
