Couples Counseling Therapists in Garment District, New York, NY

Hi, I'm Adrian! I strive to create a warm and welcoming therapeutic space where all clients feel welcome to come as they are and be their full, authentic selves. Starting therapy can feel overwhelming and like a big commitment—I am here to partner with you, every step of the way. I utilize a relational approach, drawing from psychodynamic, cognitive-behavioral, and mindfulness-based therapies to support my clients' individual needs and goals. As I grow my therapeutic practice, I seek to embody the values of hospitality, humility, curiosity, and acceptance for my clients. Come in, get comfortable—you are welcome here.

I came to therapy as an outgrowth of my own healing journey. My hope for therapy is that it empowers you to show up more authentically in your daily life. As a therapist, I feel fortunate to be an active partner in a transformative process that has the potential to help you connect more fully with a sense of purpose, agency, and joy.

If you are South Asian American, listen up: Being your own person does not make you less of a Brown person; it makes you a more genuine one. If you have been ever labeled the "Black sheep" of your community or family, been told that you are too "Whitewashed", "Too South Asian", or "Not Brown enough", you've come to the right place. Maybe you've struggled to belong in your community, but you belong right here! That's why I go by "The Bad Indian Therapist", because as someone who was raised Indian and Catholic, I've also been called these things too. We won't fit anyone's definition of "South Asian", so let's be "bad" together!

Therapy is a journey of self-awareness and liberating yourself from roadblocks that get in the way of living a full and meaningful life. It is also an avenue to learn techniques to manage your depression, anxiety or other emotional distress caused by a major life change or traumatic event. I'm interested in your long-term growth and will assist you in identifying unconscious processes that make it difficult for you to move forward with success. My practice is an eclectic mix of mindfulness, symptom management and psychoanalysis that promotes transformation and freedom.

I am a psychologist who works with adults of all ages, using a psychodynamic, relational approach in individual, couples and group psychotherapy. I am keenly interested in how your past relationships with caregivers, family, and friends have impacted you-that is, influenced the way you think, feel, and orient yourself in the world. As we explore what is occurring between us, or in your other relationships, we may uncover older wounds, past over-accommodations to or defenses against relational trauma, as well as other assumptions you carry forward from the past that are no longer functional. This is a main focus of our work together.

I believe that people are shaped by their relationships and life experiences. I work to create a trusting relationship where we can explore your difficulties and improve your life. Many of the people I work with are quite thoughtful and accomplished but they are not happy.

But it’s best not to live with it all alone. We need to express our grief, confusion and fear, and we need someone to listen, to respond and to empathize.
