Thank you for reaching out as you think about starting therapy, and look for help with life's transitions and bumps in the road that can find us feeling anxious, depressed and wanting to feel better. I use a positive, nonjudgmental approach to help people gain insight into long standing patterns to feel less stressed and lead a happier life. Based on years of experience working with families and children of all ages, I offer a specialty in parent guidance. As a Social Worker I strive to offer an inclusive space, continue to work on becoming an ally and act on recognizing oppression and supporting marginalized voices in practice.

Therapy is a place that balances acceptance and change. Maybe you have noticed an imbalance in your life and are struggling to either find out or work towards what matters most to you. I want to be your collaborator as we work towards what you care about by integrating mindfulness, curiosity about the body, looking at past patterns, and understanding how larger societal systems impact you. My goal is to help you live a life you feel connected to and are proud of. The success of our work together is dependent upon the establishment of a solid relationship between us and collaboration.

I am extremely passionate about working with adolescent girls! I understand that the idea of going to see a total stranger isn’t ideal for some and that often times teens feel forced to come in for therapy by their parents. Whatever the situation, it is obvious that teenagers today are inundated with many academic, familial, peer, and societal pressure that can leave them feeling incredibly overwhelmed.

I aim to create a collaborative, genuine and trusting relationship with clients in therapy by infusing curiosity, spontaneity and honesty into how I relate to others. I listen for patterns – how you show up in relationships, how you view yourself or how you experience our work together – in an effort to help you understand yourself better and examine what patterns, if any, are worth changing or reshaping.

My name is Nidisha Kaul, LPC. As a Licensed Professional Counselor I have had the opportunity to assist clients in areas such as personal growth/life transitions, sport performance, unresolved childhood wounds, understanding past and current patterns of dysfunction, substance misuse, and their relationship with self and others. Therapy is a self-care practice one embraces to grow, heal, learn, and create a path to self-actualization. By building trust and partnership, I can assist my clients in creating a plan of action that addresses the problem at its core.

I provide quality mental health counseling and therapy that is thoughtfully tailored to your needs. Our work together will address concerns in an empowering and centering way that produces substantive change. My approach is connective (Therapy works best when we are able to connect and work well together) and directive (by directive I mean that I give things for you to do during the week like writing, journaling, reading, exercises, reflections, and/or activities). I'm known for being helpful with people who have been through therapy and haven't had success. I help people find aliveness, creativity, and strength.

I believe therapy is the client’s personal space to develop new skills, persevere through obstacles, and heal their internal wounds as they navigate their journey of life. I use a multicultural lens during therapy and aim to help clients achieve the goals they bring with them. I like to utilize a mixture of theories and models to tailor to the clients’ needs, as I believe there is no “one way” or “right way” to achieve growth. This includes but is not limited to play therapy, DBT, emotion focused therapy, grief work, mindfulness practices, intergenerational theory, and many others. I work with children ages 5 – 12, teens & families.
