Hi, I'm Aaliyah, a deeply compassionate caregiver and NYU psychology student with a heart for supporting children, teens, and adults with special needs. I've worked with individuals on the spectrum, with ADHD, anxiety, depression, self-harm, MS, mobility and vision challenges. I currently care for a 7-year-old with autism and ADHD, helping him build emotional regulation and connection through play and patience. I've supported infants as young as 2 weeks old and older teens navigating mental health struggles. I use a trauma informed, respectful approach tailored to each person's needs whether that's visual tools, sensory play, or simply being a calm, steady presence. This isn't just work for me, it's what I love and want to dedicate my life to as a future psychologist and psychiatrist. I show up with empathy, consistency, and joy, and I'd be honored to support your family.
