I am known for Caring and Professional PERSONAL, MARRIAGE & RELATIONSHIP Counseling. Life is all about relationships. We shape them, and they shape us - they touch us to our very core! But finding a well-qualified relationship therapist when your relationship is suffering can be very difficult! Many therapists lack the specialized training, experience, or license to work with couples and families. As a result, couples often experience marriage therapy as lukewarm in supporting the goal of life-long commitment. I am licensed as a Marriage & Family Therapist, as well as Clinical Social Worker at the highest level of experience.

You deserve to be happy. Life can be difficult. Don't go it alone. Allow me to help you explore the things that are keeping you "stuck," whether it be relationships, career, health or addiction. Sometimes you just need to process feelings with an objective listener, one that can get to the heart of what's really going on and help you to live life in a more satisfying, productive manner. I have been helping individuals, couples and families move through crises and live happier, healthier lives. I can help you, too!

Trauma impacts all areas of life. We may experience sudden, intrusive memories of childhood experience. We may struggle to manage our own children, and we may have problems connecting with others and building healthy relationships. Psychotherapy can help you re-frame your experience, and assist you in identifying, clarifying and prioritizing your values and coping skills, opening the door to a more meaningful life.

As we go through various life transitions, sometimes we feel burdensome to our friends and family. You may feel like the people you love don’t understand you. You may even feel like a stranger to yourself. I am here to provide you a safe space to process those feelings and help you through this period of change. We can learn who this new you is whether you are a new parent, divorcee, empty nester, dealing with grief or loss of a loved one, dealing with a new diagnosis or illness, working on your relationship or marriage, starting school or a new career, or just getting older and learning to cope.

People experiencing anxiety, depression and personal conflicts are riddled with pain and fear. Daily functioning, be it, personal, work or family matters can be a struggle. Sometimes people may say to you "just get over it". This can lead to increased social isolation and lowered self-esteem. Work or academic performance can suffer and relationships can be adversely affected. I, as an experienced psychologist, will work in collaborative effort with you so that these problems can be addressed through a thoughtful and sensitive approach utilizing evidence-based cognitive behavioral psychotherapeutic treatment.

It takes courage to engage in professional counseling and when you do it is important that there is a match with your counselor and the modality used. As a counselor I serve people using mindfulness, meditation, whole person approaches. I also incorporate faith based approaches. I work with counselee's that struggle with anxiety, depression, trauma related issues and a variety of other emotional disturbances. I will help you identify the core issues that resulted in your emotional or personal problems and immediately help to develop strategies to resolve these issues.

Hello, my name is Nisha Chitkara, Ph.D. I have my doctorate in Clinical and School Psychology. The types of treatments I use with patients are evidence-based, meaning they have been shown in clinical studies to be effective. These include cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, exposure and response prevention, mindfulness based stress reduction, interpersonal social rhythms therapy, acceptance and commitment therapy, and motivational interviewing.

Are you having trouble in a relationship, feeling overwhelmed, overcome, anxious or depressed? Are you experiencing difficulties with a child, spouse/significant other or parent? For over 30 years I have helped individuals, couples and families become healthier. I have extensive experience helping clients deal with anxiety, depression, conflict, intimacy, communication, and personal growth. I have the training, insight and experience needed to work with my clients to define problem areas and make the changes needed to live happier lives.

Has your anxiety been rearing its head? Anxiety/worry were put in overdrive due to this pandemic. There is so much uncertainty and feelings of being uncomfortable in situations we never had a problem with before. Our ways of coping were either taken away or we had to adapt. There have been many transitions and unknowns that we still are coping with. I am here to tell you that Anxiety/Worry is predictable and only wants 2 things: Certainty and to be Comfortable. Anxiety cannot be taken away BUT you can with work through the anxiety. Take back the power and learn to be confident that you can deal with whatever comes your way.

We are living a life where we always have to be “on.” Life is nonstop, whatever the focus is. You are anxious constantly and feeling overwhelmed daily. You are the person everyone goes to for support but now it’s time to focus on you. Therapy is a space for you to put a stop to the nonstop. Every individual deserves to have a therapeutic space to unpack some of the baggage that is weighing on him/her/them. As sessions progress, you’ll feel equipped in managing your busy days as well as build skills and insight towards what may have been holding you back from living the life you want to live.

The best version of you is not determined by other people's opinions, how much money you have, the way you look or feel, or what is going on in your life. Your value is reflected in your perspective - the personal stories that you have created and believe about yourself. There are choices in how you think about yourself, other people and situations. It may not change the situations, but it can change YOU! The miracle of seeing possibilities when you see no hope, to believe that you are so much more than your problems and pain, to understand that the biggest thing that you are missing in your life is YOU.

I am a caring and compassionate therapist who is committed to helping people make needed changes in their lives. Sometimes change is not possible and we need the tools to adapt to those situations that are beyond our control. I have supported many clients in the therapeutic relationship to learn about themselves and to focus and build on the strengths that each person has. I have extensive experience with adolescents and children and i have always worked very closely with parents so that we can all work towards the same goals.

My goal is to be with you every step of the way as you explore your concerns alongside me. To explore the depths of your thoughts and feelings and understand them. We would work together on the goals that you have! Therapy motivates you to reach your highest potential and improves the quality of your life.
