Trauma and PTSD Therapists in Garment District, New York, NY

You feel anxious and depressed. You may be coping with a recent trauma or something from your past. You have friends but there are things you just don't want to burden them with. You're not really comfortable with yourself. Your thoughts tend to spiral. You might even have had panic attacks. Sometimes you feel overwhelmed by life. It seems like you're behind the curve and maybe you'll never catch up with your peers. Yet, there is hope. You can have real change by working on your problems in therapy.

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!

While navigating through daily life, people can find themselves facing challenges that can feel insurmountable, leaving them feeling as though they are overwhelmed, hopeless, and alone. By creating a safe and non-judgmental environment, I can help you to explore these issues in order to help facilitate finding a solution.The most important component to any successful therapy is a strong therapeutic relationship, which I provide with both empathy and respect.

As a psychoanalytically-oriented clinician who works from a depth perspective, my foremost aim is to develop an open, compassionate, and trusting relationship with you so that you feel free to share with me those issues that most burden you - those issues for which you need careful, caring and respectful attention. I have worked mostly with adults in individual, couples, and group psychotherapy who have struggled with anxiety, depression, panic, trauma (including childhood abuse and neglect), PTSD , and substance use issues. I've worked with and I am sensitive to the needs of people of diverse identities.

Do you feel that you are "just getting by" or not even that? Have you been experiencing feelings of anxiety, depression or being overwhelmed? Do you feel that you and your spouse/significant other are not "connecting" in the way that you would like? Are you unable to stop self-destructive behaviors such as sexual acting out, compulsive use of pornography, alcohol or drug abuse, eating or gambling? Has a recent crisis made you feel out of control or unable to handle things as you have in the past? Feeling good is important!
