I'm India, Founder and Therapist of Couch Conversations.! Thank you for taking the first step on your therapeutic journey with me, one conversation at a time. I'm a Licensed Professional Counselor who shows up with authenticity, compassion, and a genuine understanding of what it means to rebuild your life. Several years ago, I experienced a traumatic brain injury that left me with invisible disabilities. Therapy helped me find my footing again, discover new strengths, and move forward with purpose. That healing experience inspired me to become a therapist so I could support others on their own journeys.
As a therapist, I offer individualized care that blends practical tools with insight-building and ongoing collaboration. My specialties include TBIs and concussion recovery, acquired and congenital disabilities, chronic illness and pain, racial identity and affirmation, mood and anxiety concerns and life transitions.
Together, we’ll explore what’s going on beneath the surface while also developing concrete strategies that help you move forward. My style is direct, relaxed, collaborative, and compassionate — with a touch of humor when it helps. I draw from CBT, DBT, EFT, Narrative Therapy, and Solution-Focused approaches, all through a trauma-informed lens.
