Asian Therapists in Warren, NJ

Life isn't always simple, but the journey to counseling can be. Together, we can explore strategies to simplify your life and navigate these challenges. Therapy can be approached with small, effective steps that I'm ready to guide you through. Clients often express after our first session, "I should have come to therapy a long time ago." I want you to expect a safe, warm, and judgment-free atmosphere right from the beginning.

Are you a South/East Asian or BIPOC woman struggling with anxiety, self doubt, a need to be perfect or low self esteem?

Namaste, a small introduction to what I do, who I am and where I come from. I am a bilingual, bi-cultural Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW). I earned my Masters degree in Social Work from Rutgers University. I began my path as a Social Worker to help people be the best version of themselves. I have many years of experience providing individuals with tools to overcome any obstacles they are facing. As a LCSW of South Asian decent, I understand the cultural nuances, generational trauma and cultural identity struggles that many people experience.

Are you struggling with conflicting thoughts, shame, guilt, and personal conflict? Do they overwhelm you, impact the way you feel about yourself, and interfere with your daily routine? Sometimes things can get overwhelming due to cultural disparities, family values and life stressors. I hear you, you have come to the right place. Would you like to work with a therapist who really gets what you are going through, what it feels like to be heard and understood? Being of South Asian decent myself I understand the cultural nuances, generational trauma, extended family system and cultural identity struggles that come with it.

Are you struggling with challenges that seem insurmountable? Are they causing you to feel overwhelmed, hopeless and isolated? I seek to help you feel empowered and work towards healing by providing you with the tools and skills to enhance and improve your life. I believe the therapeutic process is collaborative and should provide an environment for you to explore and identify patterns of behavior, gain clarity and seek resolution. It is important for me to create a safe and non-judgmental environment for you to be able to share your thoughts, feelings and experiences.

Despite having reached the pinnacle of my profession after nearly two decades of practice, it was my own struggle with learning disabilities, dual diagnosis and other medical conditions and issues, that changed my perspective and my life. I came to appreciate an approach which focuses on the here and now; solution focused and goal oriented. I found little solace in traditional therapeutic approaches which focused largely on the past, and went on for months with no real relief nor positive impact on my life or functioning. As such, I strive to help my clients achieve their goals and actualize their dreams using a coaching approach.

I have experience working in Community-Based, Outpatient, and hospital mental health settings as a licensed professional counselor. I am currently at Eastern University for a Doctor of Arts in Marriage and Family Therapy studies for a further degree. I have a passion for working with teens, adults, and older adults to assist them in developing and finding healthy coping skills when dealing with stressors, including life transitions. My areas of expertise and special interest include depression, anxiety, coping skills, interpersonal conflict, racial identity, and stress management.

Ever think to yourself "...why am I like this?!" and become frustrated that you just can't seem to let go and move on? Pause for a moment, and know that your thoughts, feelings, and very existence are all valid. Being seen and heard (and not just shouting into the void) simply as we are and where we are in life plays significantly into creating the confidence to face challenges, and then continuing to thrive. You are deserving of finding balance, harmony, and evolving into your most genuine self.

Babita has a waitlist until May 2022. You feel stuck and frustrated that you can't control the chaos or balance it all. You just feel so exhausted from trying so hard to make all the pieces in your life "fit" and you are not sure how to feel happier. You may even have noticed some depression or increased anxiety. You know you need to do something, but just not sure where to begin. I get it! As a team, we will move you forward to a healthier, more balanced and empowered space. You do not need to manage this alone.

Are you struggling with irritability, depressed mood, overwhelming anxiety, or even preoccupations with how others perceive you in the world? Do you wish you could step into life without reviewing the worried thoughts in your mind? Perhaps you have feelings of sadness, guilt, shame or find yourself growing impatient with your loved ones or the world around you. Carl Jung once said: Everything that irritates us about others can lead us to an understanding of ourselves. Are you ready to discover new ways to walk out this life of yours?
