Everyone is welcome to my online counseling practice, 18 years-old and over! I specialize in anxiety and depression due to many, many different causes. Top causes are relationship issues, grief, break-ups, medical illness, chronic pain, parenting stress and big life transitions. Sometimes a few months of therapy to have a safe space for you to be heard and guided by a trained therapist is all you need to get over the rut you are in.
Here's what I will bring to the session. Warmth. Compassion. Humor and NO sugar coating. And I love to assign homework in between sessions, so buckle up. Why homework? For the same reason we can't lose weight just by eating healthy one hour a week. Change is hard, growth is hard, gaining inner peace WILL be hard.

Hi there, I'm Parag.
You were not put here on this earth to suffer. You deserve to live your life with happiness and peace of mind. Mental illness and addiction can rob anyone of these precious gifts. When you turn to family and friends for support, often they don't know what to say or how to help. You can end up feeling very alone in the world.
No one wants to develop mental illness or addictions. You didn't do anything wrong. Feeling emotionally numb, mentally overwhelmed, or having thoughts like "I just don't want to be on this earth anymore" are not things that people willingly choose for themselves. They are illnesses. We often get sick through no fault of our own. Just like some people get diabetes or heart disease, some people get mental illness.
Working over five years in an inpatient psychiatric hospital, I have helped patients overcome symptoms of depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, phobias, relationship problems, and self-esteem issues. My approach is to get to know you as a person and work on addressing what is really going on with your mind and your life right now.
I know getting therapy can be scary, but I will do everything I can to help you feel heard, understood, and genuinely cared for. Give yourself a chance to have peace of mind again.
