Something has been heavy long enough. I'm Alice, a therapist in New York working with adults and teens through depression, anxiety, trauma, and patterns that affect relationships and daily life. For South Asians, Muslims, immigrants, children of immigrants and all POC, I bring cultural understanding alongside clinical care. Reach out whenever you're ready.
I believe that one of the most important parts of therapy is the relationship between therapist and client. My goal is to create a warm, supportive, and judgment-free space where you feel safe being open about your experiences, emotions, and challenges without fear of shame or judgment. My work is grounded in understanding how your past shaped how you move through the world today. I draw on cognitive-behavioral approaches to help you recognize the thoughts that are keeping you stuck, and on trauma-focused methods to process what your nervous system is still holding. Mindfulness runs through much of the work, not as a quick technique, but as a way of building the awareness that makes change possible. I also work from a narrative lens, paying attention to the story you've been told about yourself and whether it's actually yours.
Your first session is a conversation, not an assessment. I'll want to understand what brings you here and what you're hoping to feel differently. From there, we'll build a plan that fits your actual life. By the time we've had a few sessions together, you'll have a clearer picture of what's been driving the patterns you want to change,
