Deciding to seek therapy can be a difficult step. You may want to open up and talk to someone, but hesitant to reach out. While this hesitation is normal, it is often more common among South Asians as acknowledging emotional distress is typically discouraged in our culture. Connecting with someone of the same background helps to make this step easier. One of the most important determinants of progress in therapy is fit between client and therapist. Meeting with a South Asian therapist offers a level of familiarity that allows you to be truly open and vulnerable while breathing a sigh of relief knowing you will be understood.

As you browse the profiles of the therapists on this site,  I encourage you to consider what other qualities matter to you in a therapist. What are you looking for, what do you hope to get out of therapy, and what approach are you most drawn to? As a psychodynamically oriented therapist, I believe that much of what underlies our experience lies just below the surface of our immediate awareness. As we share our thoughts and feelings, we discover what was previously obscured from view and gain greater insight into the beliefs that perpetuate the patterns in our lives. As these insights unfold, we find the freedom to choose our path and pursue what we actually want rather than what we’ve been conditioned to accept.

If this sounds like what you’re looking for, please feel free to reach out for a complimentary consultation. I look forward to hearing from you.
