Trauma and PTSD therapists & psychiatrists in New York

Hi! I am the Clinical Director and Founder of Woodrose Counseling. I am a multilingual licensed mental health counselor fluent in Gujarati and second generation South Asian American. My experience working with adults from diverse backgrounds and age groups in community-based and outpatient settings informs my culturally sensitive approach.

I also offer a therapeutic modality called Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy (KAP) as a complement to psychotherapy for those who are interested and eligible.

Navigating life’s challenges can feel overwhelming, but you don’t have to do it alone. I’m a Licensed Mental Health Counselor with 7 years of experience helping individuals manage mental health and substance use concerns. My approach to therapy is warm, welcoming, client-centered, and often sprinkled with humor and optimism to make the journey feel a little lighter. I believe in meeting clients where they are, and I tailor my techniques to suit each person’s unique strengths and goals.

I work with children (ages 11+), adolescents, and adults, offering support across a wide range of emotional, behavioral, and relational challenges. Whether you're dealing with anxiety, depression, ADHD, or struggling with substance use, I offer a safe and supportive space to explore your concerns and build meaningful change. I also work with individuals experiencing challenges such as domestic violence, anger management issues, adjustment disorders, and family or romantic relationship struggles. I have extensive experience working with mandated clients and those navigating probation or the criminal justice system.

I hold a Master's degree in Forensic Mental Health Counseling from John Jay College of Criminal Justice and a Bachelor's in Psychology from Siena College. My clinical work includes experience with alcohol, cannabis, opiate, and hallucinogen use disorders, as well as mood and personality disorders including bipolar disorder and borderline personality disorder. I also support clients coping with grief and loss.

My collaborative and interactive approach fosters new insights into the underlying patterns of your difficulties to create fundamental and lasting change. I have extensive experience working with trauma, loss, attachment issues, and relationship conflicts.

When dealing with changes in life or difficulties that attempt to define us, we often try to solve these problems in isolation. Having someone to talk to—in a non-judgmental and empathetic setting—allows us to sort through our thoughts and emotions in an environment primed for growth.

I am a New York State Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) and a National Certified Counselor (NCC). I work full-time as a Psychotherapist at a non-profit community mental health clinic. This place allows me to obtain clinical experience and develop counseling skills. I am experienced working with Mood Disorders, Trauma & PTSD, Behavioral Disorders, Personality Disorders, Substance Abuse, and the LGBTQ community. I am competent in working with multiple cultural backgrounds. I have a Certification in Dialectical Behavioral Therapy. Prior to my current experience, I worked as a Bilingual Psychotherapist at a Chinese Psychiatry practice. I have many years of research experience on mental health.

I developed a good understanding of how to connect with individuals from a variety of cultural backgrounds. In addition to English, I speak Cantonese and Mandarin fluently which allows me to be multiculturally competent.

As a New York native, a first-generation Latina, and a licensed clinical therapist, I have a deep commitment to making therapy more accessible, affirming, and real—especially for communities that haven’t always had a seat at the table.

Growing up, therapy wasn’t something people around me talked about. Between financial struggles and cultural stigma, mental health care felt out of reach. That’s part of what led me here—to become the kind of therapist I wish I had when I was younger.

I earned my Master’s in Social Work from Touro College in New York. I’ve spent the past 8 years working closely with children, teens and adults, helping them navigate anxiety, trauma, identity challenges, and life transitions.

As a Cognitive Behavioral Therapist, I work collaboratively with clients to identify thoughts, behaviors, and relationship patterns that impact emotional health. Sessions are conducted in a relaxed, conversational style, and together we develop concrete action steps that facilitate significant change and growth.

I have additional training in the Flash Technique for Rapid Trauma Processing and Prolonged Exposure Therapy, an evidence-based trauma treatment that has been shown to help clients recover from post-traumatic stress.
