Hello! My name is Disha and I help individuals who grow up in cultures that can impact their sense of self-worth, relationship with others, and view of mental health. Young girls and women who are experiencing these feelings from culture and/or society can have deep impacts on body image, food, and exercise. Society and culture can place harsh expectations on individuals to present themselves a certain way. All of these feelings related to cultural expectations to difficult thoughts and feelings, impacting one’s overall mental health.
I received my master’s degree from the Philadelphia College of Osteopathic Medicine in Mental Health Counseling and am a Licensed Associate Professional counselor who uses cognitive-behavioral therapy, cultural/racial theory, and a psychodynamic approach to work on feelings of anxiety, OCD, depression, and stress.
If you are feeling struggles relating to cultural expectations, struggles with body image and disordered eating, or other difficult adjustments and situations, please reach out to me to help you get started on a journey of healing. I aspire to create a safe and welcoming space for you to explore, heal, and grow through your experiences.
