Hi, I'm India. I work with emerging, young & older adults (17+) from all walks of life who feel that hope seems out of reach right now. In our work together, I aim to better understand the barriers that may be relentlessly working against you. But there is hope that lives alongside the struggle, the kind of hope that comes from a willingness to face reality and still choose to see where beauty and light can be found. We’ll search for it together.
I’m a licensed clinical mental health counselor (LCMHC) experienced in individual and group therapy with young adults and college students. I also support adult clients who experience symptoms of depression, anxiety, grief, racism-related and other complex traumas, and want to explore their identities.
I know looking for a therapist can be A LOT, especially when we’re already struggling. If you want to see if I might be a good fit for you, schedule a free consultation. Just a chance to ask questions about me or therapy in general. Hope isn't passive: it's born out of the actions we take moment to moment, day to day.
