As an Asian American, my multicultural background enables me to have a unique perspective and understanding on struggles experienced by clients from different cultures.

Improve your life skills whether you’re an adult or a teenager dealing with depression, anxiety, low self-esteem, past or recent trauma, relationship problems, grief and other concerns.

I work with people who are struggling with anxiety, life transitions, self-esteem, as well as the BIPOC community struggling with identity issues, trauma and family conflict specifically in the Asian American community.
Are you feeling overwhelmed with the expectations and pressures of life? Do you feel lost or riddled with overthinking, which causes you to be unproductive and emotionally vulnerable? I understand when life feels routinely intrusive, it is hard to know what to do next: contact me. I offer you a safe space to be heard, validated, encouraged, and challenged.

Hi, my name is Priya. I am a second-generation Asian-American counselor and I have intimately felt what it feels like to be thought of as “strange,” “different,” or not quite fitting the mold, from both my culture of origin and my birth culture. It is not an easy thing to feel like you never quite belong, and this can be both a wide-spread phenomenon and an intimately unique experience. Though no two experiences are the same, my experience has led me to strongly believe in the power of your voice and of your authentic self, and the power of recognizing your strengths so you can find your unique path.

I am a first generation South Asian Muslim American, so I have an inside understanding of what it's like to navigate two cultures and identities, which come with unique family dynamics and cultural expectations.
Part of being human means that at some point, we all come face to face with some sort of difficulty. This is why I believe that counseling can be beneficial for anyone and everyone. Having support can make navigating life's challenges manageable. Making the decision to seek help is already a huge step, so you should be proud of yourself!

I am multiracial with both Asian and Jewish parents, which has helped me be sensitive to how different our experiences can be within the same macroculture.
The goal is for my clients to walk away with the same curiosity and unconditional positive regard for themselves that I cultivate with them in our sessions. Through the gentle untying of the knots of trauma along with reinforcement of strengths and resources, the internal compass can once again be recalibrated toward joy, with intention and self-compassion. Sessions with me involve curiosity, education, and concrete practices that will help shift your perspective on your internal and external experiences, and give you the knowledge necessary to get you back in the driver's seat of your life.

Additionally, I have a unique emphasis in working with the Asian American and Pacific Islander (AAPI) population.
My goal is to support your growth and help you examine the impact of the cultural systems in which we live. I often treat clients who suffer from anxiety and OCD, and I help them understand how cultural systems may have reinforced those conditions. While anxiety is a natural part of the human experience, too much can be maladaptive. Influenced by evidence-based and Buddhist mindfulness approaches, I help clients examine and confront the sources of their anxiety, find better ways to manage it, and ultimately pursue a life that is consistent with their values.

Asian Therapists

Why is it important for a therapist to be culturally sensitive?

A culturally sensitive therapist would be respectful and considerate of different groups, with regard to race, sexual orientation, gender, and other factors that are important to an individual. These considerations can help a client feel understood as well as validated. While some people think highlighting race could promote stereotypes and bias, more understanding and knowledge about cultural differences is a positive for a healthy therapeutic alliance.

How can I recognize an effective Asian therapist?

You can discern a lot by asking how familiar the potential therapist is with different cultures, as well as asking how they might address issues related to identity, values, and beliefs. Also inquire about their education, as well as any particular training they may have completed, such as cultural sensitivity or diversity and inclusion programs.

What if the therapist does not have my exact background?

The therapist may not share a client’s exact background, but the therapist may have plenty of hands-on experience as well as the sensitivity needed for therapeutic progress. Their sensitivity to different populations will help the client feel accepted and comfortable in sharing their concerns and difficulties.

How might I inquire about a therapist's experience with Asian clients?

A therapist with an Asian background may have experience within their community, as well as broader cultural sensitivity. Ask the potential therapist whether they've worked with individuals who share your background. If they have not worked with similar clients, they may well know someone who has such experience.

Who is included in Psychology Today's directory of Asian therapists?

The directory of Asian therapists includes professionals who have shared their ethnicity in their profiles. Psychology Today uses this information to assist clients in finding a therapist who can provide a cultural match. However, not all therapists choose to disclose their ethnicity in their profiles, and they may not appear in search results for this reason; also, when the number of therapists identified as Asian is limited, the directory will also show therapists with comprehensive experience working with clients from relevant backgrounds.
