Vibha "Minnie" Thukral: My clients desire to gain insight into their behaviors and relationship dynamics - in a work/school setting, with their families, friends, romantic partners, & themselves. They want to learn how to cope with symptoms of depression, anxiety, and chronic stress, while being true to themselves. My clients need a non-judgemental space to explore their values, identity, and purpose in life. They may want to heal from their upbringing, whether that means they come from an immigrant family, a family with a history of mental illness & trauma, and/or a dysfunctional upbringing.
