Hi! I’m Karishma. It takes courage to seek support, and I’m so proud of you for taking this important first step. I believe both the journey and the destination matters, and I’m here to walk alongside you with guidance and care. With 9 years of experience supporting adults through mental health and co-occurring concerns. I currently work at Meghan Jackson Miller Psychological Services. My schedule is full, but we have wonderful therapists available — feel free to call our billing company, and we will help you get started. Feel free to check out our website and team at mjmps.nyc
I combine Cognitive Behavioral Therapy with Person-Centered Care to create a compassionate, collaborative space where you can explore, heal, and grow. Together, we’ll uncover the roots of your struggles, shift unhelpful patterns, and empower you to make meaningful, lasting changes.
I provide telehealth counseling services to make service accessible. I serve individuals throughout New York State in all counties, including Westchester, Queens, Brooklyn, Staten Island, Manhattan, and Nassau and Suffolk Counties. I look forward to meeting you and doing your intake soon!

I work with clients who are currently struggling with anxiety, trauma and grief. During our initial sessions, developing and creating a plan of treatment is important. When we create a plan, this helps us collaborate and dive deeper into the issue. When conversing about different elements of an issue, many clients feel they gain insight on their behaviors, initiating the change.

I often utilize a CBT (cognitive behavioral therapy) and MI (motivational interviewing) approach. In our first session, exploring stressors in a warm/inviting space can allow opportunity for insight. I also provide Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, which focuses on identifying how thoughts and emotions are attached to our person (cognitive fusion).
