We have been taught that emotions are not meant to be felt but rather controlled. To hide the bad ones and only show the good ones. That sitting in them for too long means we are either dramatic, obsessive, or abnormal. If you have ever been told, either by others in your life or you yourself, that your emotions are too much or too complicated, I would like to say, “I hear you, and I am here for you.”

I'd be a good fit if you're motivated, curious, open, flexible in thought, committed to the therapy process, and willing to do hard work. I'll work hard, too. If your needs and goals are to feel calmer, have a more integrated sense of self, feel more secure and confident, to grow and expand your thought processes, to organize past life events, develop/increase spirituality, work towards independence, and promote holistic well-being through the use of evidenced-based techniques and theories, I'd be a good fit! I also love pets. I have 2 dogs & 2 cats. I have training and certification in pet loss and grief. I value all relationships.

I work with individuals 16 and up who are processing trauma, exploring their personal identity, and building self-esteem. I love collaborating with clients, who seek a curious conversation in which to explore relationships—with themselves, with others, and with ideas. My primary role in the therapeutic relationship is that of co-author rather than teacher, and I enjoy working with folks who are interested in finding their own approaches to problems with support from their communities, which may not look "cookie cutter."

FAQ - About Hindu Counseling
What can a Hindu therapist help with?
Hindu therapists are licensed mental health professionals who are familiar with Hindu beliefs, values, and culture. Like other licensed therapists, Hindu therapists can help with concerns such as anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, relationship challenges, life transitions, and family conflict. However, a therapist who shares your faith may be especially helpful if you want to explore how faith and spirituality impact your life and overall mental health. A Hindu therapist can also support concerns that intersect with religion or culture, such as identity, belonging, intergenerational conflict, marriage expectations, or sexuality.
How does Hindu faith and culture shape the therapy experience?
A therapist who understands Hindu beliefs and cultural practices may be better able to recognize how spirituality, religion, or community expectations impact your life. This shared understanding can help you feel more comfortable and less burdened by the need to explain your background. It may also strengthen the therapeutic alliance, which refers to the working relationship between you and your therapist and is tied to positive therapy outcomes. At the same time, you and your therapist do not need to share the same faith to work together effectively. Many therapists who are not Hindu can still provide culturally responsive care if they approach your beliefs and practices with respect and humility, rather than making assumptions or dismissing the role of faith.
How can a Hindu therapist support family therapy?
Hindu therapy can often include family therapy, which may involve parents, children, or extended family members. These sessions may include discussion of how family expectations, cultural traditions, and religious practices shape family dynamics. For example, a therapist might help a family navigate differing expectations around marriage, caregiving, or participation in religious events. Depending on your family’s preferences, a Hindu therapist may incorporate faith-informed reflection alongside other evidence-based approaches, such as communication skills, emotional regulation strategies, and conflict-resolution techniques.
How might I inquire about a therapist's experience working with Hindu clients?
If faith or cultural background is important to you in therapy, it can be helpful to ask a prospective therapist whether they have experience working with Hindu clients. In initial conversations with potential therapists, you might ask questions such as, “Have you worked with Hindu clients before?” or “How do you approach conversations about faith and cultural identity in therapy?” As sessions begin, it can be helpful to notice how the therapist responds to your concerns. A good therapist should respond with respect, curiosity, and cultural humility. If you feel dismissed, misunderstood, or find yourself having to explain your beliefs or cultural context constantly, it may be worth considering another therapist.
Who is included in Psychology Today's directory of Hindu therapists?
The directory of Hindu therapists includes therapists who have shared their faith background in their profiles or therapists who indicate that they have extensive experience working with Hindu clients or communities, regardless of their own background or religious affiliation. Not all therapists choose to disclose this information on their profile, and these individuals would not appear in search results for this reason.
