I am a licensed master social worker (LMSW) and a certified diabetes educator (CDCES) with several years of experience as a practicing therapist in New York. Throughout my career, I have dedicated myself to assisting individuals in navigating and processing major life transitions. I value the opportunity to help others and am particularly passionate about promoting mental well-being as a vital aspect of overall health. As a therapist, I acknowledge the diverse challenges people face, whether they stem from academic pressures, chronic health conditions, work-related stress, or family obligations.
I emphasize the importance of prioritizing one's mental health and offer a safe, supportive, and non-judgmental environment for my clients to explore the root cause of their stress. My approach centers around collaboration, working hand-in-hand with my clients to identify effective strategies to cope with and overcome stressors using mindfulness skills.
I work with bicultural and bilingual (Bengali) adults, allowing me to understand and address the unique concerns faced by different age groups. My ultimate goal is to contribute positively to my clients' mental well-being, guiding them towards a healthier and more fulfilling life. Do reach out to me so that we can work together to achieve positive outcomes.
