I'm Aprajita (uh-PRAH-ji-ta). My name is often hard to say, so please don't worry about getting it right. I'm glad you're here. Therapy doesn't have to start when everything falls apart. Sometimes it starts with the feeling that something needs to change. I work with neurodiverse children and adults needing support with anxiety, emotional expression, life transitions, ADHD, autism and self esteem. Together, we'll explore the emotions beneath your experiences and uncover patterns with curiosity and compassion. As a South Asian immigrant therapist, I offer trauma informed and culturally sensitive sessions in English and Hindi.
Every therapeutic journey is unique. While many clients choose talk therapy, I also offer the option of integrating music and creative arts when they can support your goals. Music can help express what feels difficult to put into words, deepen emotional processing, foster clarity, support nervous system regulation and cultivate resilience and presence.
Based on your needs, we will explore music that resonates with your experiences, reflect on meaningful songs, improvise or use it as a tool for grounding. Some clients don't use music in session, while for some it becomes a meaningful part of the therapeutic process. Together, we'll decide what feels most supportive for you. No musical experience required.
