Therapists in Morristown, NJ

Welcome. I am here to help you. There are times and stages of our lives where we are feeling overwhelmed, hopeless, confused, or proactively seeking clarity on specific issues, and in need of deeper insight into how to cope with challenges. I use a collaborative and experiential approach, honoring your cultural strengths to support you through what motivates you and triggers you, and identify effective and meaningful ways of being.

Welcome! My name is Krishna Desai, and I am a licensed psychologist (LP) and licensed specialist in school psychology (LSSP). I work with children as young as ten, adolescents, and adults from a variety of backgrounds.

I know it can feel like a challenge to ask for help - I know because I've done it myself. You've started to reflect on some of the things that have happened to you in life, maybe based on the way you were raised or significant events that have altered your way of living and thinking. You may feel stuck, you want more from your life and you want to change. You understand that in order to make change, you've got to work through some layers of your mind that can be inhibiting your growth. Allowing another person to hold your story with you sounds iffy but there is deep relief in knowing you are not alone.

I work best with South Asian clients who are ages 12 & up and are struggling with being motivated in school, at home or amongst their peers or in their relationship. Client often gets into a power struggle with their parent/guardian, teachers or significant other and the root cause can be anxiety, depression, anger, self-esteem and/or trauma. Clients who experience such concerns often have a tough time putting their emotions into words and feel overwhelmed by the daily tasks that are being demanded from them. Clients will begin to learn how and why they communicate the way they do to become a better version of themselves.
