About Syeda Aktar
Hi, I’m Syeda, a Mental Health Counseling & Wellness MA student at NYU and Fordham Psychology graduate with a passion for supporting others and exploring the science behind mental health. I’ve gained experience across clinical, research, and community settings—from crisis counseling and academic tutoring to working in urgent care and youth development research. I’m especially interested in psychiatry and behavioral sciences, and I’m currently seeking research opportunities that align with my clinical goals. Long-term, I hope to become a licensed mental health counselor and continue contributing to work that centers empathy, equity, and evidence-based care. Let’s connect!
