Hi, I’m Malini Ramnarine, and I bring nearly 10 years of corporate finance experience before transitioning to mental health. I specialize in helping individuals and families, especially from South Asian and Indian Caribbean backgrounds, navigate cultural challenges, family dynamics, and personal growth. My approach combines trauma-informed care with solution-focused strategies to help clients create meaningful, lasting changes while keeping things real and relatable.
In our first session, we’ll discuss what brought you to therapy and how your challenges are affecting your life. You’ll also have the chance to ask any questions and get to know me better.
I’m all about creating a space where you feel heard and understood. My personal experience with corporate burnout and growing up in a family with an alcoholic parent gives me a deep empathy for people juggling stress and complex relationships. I blend humor, real talk, and a trauma-informed approach to help you make lasting change in a way that feels authentic to you. We’ll work together to find solutions that fit your unique life and challenges.
I work best with people who are looking for practical solutions and understand that life’s challenges can feel overwhelming—especially if you come from a background where you’ve been expected to "just power through." Whether you're struggling with family dynamics, cultural pressures, or need help setting boundaries, I’m here to support you. If you’re looking for someone who gets it and offers real-world strategies, we’ll be a great fit.
