Touro College of Osteopathic Medicine
Doctor of Osteopathic Medicine
Dr. Farah Aziz is a Board-Certified Psychiatrist specializing in child, adolescent, and adult mental health. She was born in Texas and raised in upstate New York in a vibrant South Asian Muslim American household—an upbringing that deeply shaped her empathetic, intuitive, and compassionate approach to care.
Dr. Aziz earned her Bachelor of Arts in Religion from Vassar College, where she explored the intersections of belief, identity, and human behavior. Her desire to bridge the gap between physical and emotional well-being led her to pursue a Doctor of Osteopathic Medicine (DO) at Touro College of Osteopathic Medicine in Middletown, NY. She completed her general psychiatry residency at Garnet Health Medical Center and went on to complete a fellowship in child and adolescent psychiatry at Westchester Medical Center in Valhalla, NY.
What drew Dr. Aziz to the field of psychiatry was witnessing the silent struggles with mental health within her family and community—issues often left unspoken due to stigma. She was inspired to enter a field that could not only provide treatment but also act as a form of advocacy and connection. For her, psychiatry is not just about diagnoses—it’s about understanding the whole person and creating a space for healing through meaningful conversations.
Dr. Aziz’s approach is collaborative, person-centered, and rooted in both evidence-based practices and compassion. She incorporates therapeutic modalities like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), drawing from each to create a tailored plan that honors her client’s unique needs. Her sessions are grounded in active listening, nonjudgment, and trust-building—especially when working with children, teens, and families. She believes in meeting each client where they are and walking alongside them toward growth.
Clients working with Dr. Aziz can expect a safe, supportive environment where they feel seen, heard, and advocated for. She makes it a priority to co-create goals and to honor each person’s story and values. “I’m rooting for you,” she says—and she means it.
Outside of her clinical work, Dr. Aziz enjoys reflective time with family and friends, exploring creative outlets, and continuing her lifelong commitment to learning and listening.
