Hi! I am Cheryl. I know reaching out for therapy can feel overwhelming, but I am so glad you are here. I help teens and adults figure out how to handle constant worry, big life changes, and the stress of relationships or a new baby. I also help people who are totally exhausted fix their bad sleep habits so they can finally rest. My goal is to give you a warm, judgment-free space to untangle your thoughts. If it makes you more comfortable, we can talk in English, Mandarin, or Taiwanese!

As a Caribbean immigrant of Afro-Indian descent, I am a culturally sensitive counselor whose work is deeply inspired by diverse faith, culture, and communal values. I strive to provide a transparent, warm, and nonjudgmental environment where every individual feels safe and seen. Over the past decade, I have dedicated my practice to supporting culturally diverse and underserved populations and/or those who may feel overlooked or misunderstood. My approach is rooted in active listening and tailored feedback; I do not view myself as an expert in a client's life, but rather as an objective, supportive collaborator. I treat every situation as unique, developing personalized treatment goals that prioritize the individual’s specific journey and well-being.

The journey of healing begins with a strong therapeutic alliance based on trust and mutual respect. My worldview and core values determine my approach to therapy and engaging with you. I strongly believe in a holistic approach to therapy: I consider the art and science of healing to support the whole person – body, mind, and spirit. I have decades of rich and varied life experiences which inform my practice. I have worked in schools with children as an educator with a great understanding of human development, I am a grass-roots level community development social worker and a mental health clinician in community behavioral health.

Are you feeling overwhelmed by life’s stressors or struggling to sit with difficult emotions? You don’t have to navigate these obstacles alone. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and Certified Addiction Specialist with over 10 years of experience helping individuals reclaim their sense of peace. I specialize in working with people who are ready to face the "hard" feelings—the ones that are tough to stay present with—and turn them into catalysts for growth.

Greetings! Thank you for stopping by to read my profile! I have 15 years of working in the mental health profession as a clinical social worker. I graduated from Rutgers University's School of Social Work in 2012 and have worked in various settings, including the hospital, nursing home, private practice, and non-profit sectors. I am obviously passionate about mental health recovery which is why I am in the profession, and excited to start working with you on reaching your personal goals. I am a 2nd generational Korean-American who has lived in the US for over 40 years.

Hello! My goal as a therapist is to provide a safe, compassionate space where you can process your experiences, deepen your understanding of yourself, and explore areas where healing is needed. I take a person-centered approach, meaning you lead the way in your journey while I follow—offering guidance, support, and tools as needed. I offer EMDR, IFS, CBT, and other modalities, tailoring our work to what feels most helpful and empowering for you. I also place a strong emphasis on connecting the mind and body, as many of us experience a disconnect between the two. For those who are interested, I incorporate elements of energy therapy—drawing on yogic principles, Usui Reiki, and other approaches—to support your healing process. I welcome clients from all backgrounds and experiences, and I offer specific support for those seeking culturally sensitive therapy, honoring your unique story and identity throughout our work together.

Hello, my name is Knou, pronounced New. I'm a licensed clinical social worker with a combined 20 years of experience working with children, families, parents and adults in various settings such as non-profits, schools, hospitals and outpatient settings. If you're in a place that is leaving you feeling unsure, anxious or unhappy in any way, I'd love to walk alongside you to help you navigate it all.

Do you have trouble getting through the day, feeling tired or discouraged? Maybe you’re going through the motions but aren’t sure why. Many people I work with have felt overwhelmed, stressed, or just stuck. You may have found temporary coping skills that have worked to get you this far. But life’s about more than just surviving each day with the least amount of pain. I help people who are struggling with depression, anxiety, and stress, and are ready for a change. I believe you have a purpose and deserve to experience a more fulfilling life. You can learn to stop fighting and become more excited and hopeful about the future.

I’m a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in New Jersey and Texas. When life feels heavy, therapy should do more than help you cope. It should help you understand why you feel stuck, why the same patterns keep returning, and how real healing can begin. I work with individuals facing anxiety, stress, emotional pain, burnout, and the quiet exhaustion of carrying too much for too long. Many of the people I work with are dependable and capable, yet inwardly they feel overwhelmed, drained, disconnected, or alone in what they carry. Therapy can be a place to slow down, gain clarity, and begin moving forward with greater freedom and intention. My approach is warm, direct, and grounded in CBT and IFS. I help clients uncover the deeper thoughts, emotional wounds, inner conflicts, and survival patterns beneath their distress, while also building practical tools for healthier coping and lasting change. I value insight, but I also care about progress that can be felt in daily life and relationships. With nearly 20 years of pastoral counseling experience, I also offer faith integration when desired. If you are tired of carrying everything alone, I offer a grounded, compassionate space where deeper healing and meaningful change can begin.

Mental health is an essential aspect of our overall well-being. As individuals, we go through several changes in our lives. Some of those changes can be very distressing.

I am a dedicated Psychoherapist with a profound commitment to holistic and culturally competent therapy as LMFT. My practice encompasses virtual counseling, interactive workshops, and tailored programs designed to improve communication, resolve conflicts, and enhance emotional well-being. Drawing on my background in art, I incorporate creative methods into the therapeutic process, which significantly aids in emotional healing and personal growth. My approach is grounded in a deep understanding and respect for the diverse cultural backgrounds of my clients. This cultural sensitivity allows me to build authentic, meaningful connections and provide care that is responsive to each client’s unique context.

I’m a Licensed Professional Counselor working with adults who function well in demanding roles but experience internal strain related to anxiety, ADHD, sleep issues, or sustained stress. Many of my clients are in high-pressure environments such as healthcare, first response, STEM, or other responsibility-heavy fields, and are seeking support that goes beyond surface-level coping. My work is informed by formal training in clinical counseling at the University of Pennsylvania, as well as a research background in STEM fields. This combination shapes a structured, systems-oriented approach that integrates neuroscience, evidence-based therapy, and careful attention to how complex internal patterns develop and persist under pressure. I work with individuals across diverse backgrounds, including LGBTQ+ clients, and approach identity as an important part of lived context rather than the problem itself. Therapy is a space for clarity, safety, and meaningful change, especially for those who appear capable on the outside but feel taxed or constrained internally.

**Namaste, my name is Ashwini Gupta.** I am a Therapist and Intuitive Life Coach with over 20 years of experience supporting individuals in navigating life’s challenges and reconnecting with their deeper sense of purpose. My work integrates Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Vedanta philosophy, mindfulness-based practices, and Shamanic healing traditions to help clients live more meaningful, aligned, and fulfilling lives. I am passionate about empowering individuals to reconnect with their true essence—the soul’s identity—and to move through life with clarity, resilience, and authenticity. My Approach Using ACT as my primary therapeutic framework, I provide a warm, compassionate, and non-judgmental space where we can explore challenges such as anxiety, depression, trauma, and relationship difficulties. ACT combines mindfulness, acceptance, and behavior change strategies to cultivate psychological flexibility, helping you respond to life’s difficulties with awareness while staying aligned with your core values. I also integrate Vedanta, which encourages deep inquiry into the nature of the self and existence, alongside Shamanic practices that bring a spiritual and energetic dimension to healing. Through guided journeys, energy awareness, and intuitive exploration, this work supports emotional release, clarity, and transformation at a deeper level. What is ACT? ACT is a behavioral therapy focused on values-guided action. It invites reflection on essential questions: What do you stand for? What truly matters? What legacy do you wish to create? It helps you connect with your inner compass and take meaningful action, even in the presence of uncertainty. What is Vedanta? Vedanta is an ancient philosophy that teaches the oneness of existence and the inherent divinity of the soul. Healing, in this context, is a process of remembering your true nature beyond conditioning and limitation. *Note: Shamanic healing and Intuitive Life Coaching services are not covered by insurance panels.*
