Anam Chaudhry

I'm Anam Chaudhry, a Licensed Mental Health Counselor in New York. Over the years, I've worked across a lot of different settings — supporting women and children in a domestic violence shelter, going into families' homes to provide support when things felt most difficult, working alongside adolescents in rehab, and meeting kids and families in outpatient care. Those experiences shaped the way I show up in sessions: grounded, practical, and genuinely invested in the person in front of me. I recently expanded my availability and am actively welcoming new clients. I look forward to getting to know you and being a support for you!

My approach is built on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) — an evidenced based method that helps people understand how their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors connect, and how to shift patterns that aren't working. That said, I don't use a one-size-fits-all formula. I pull from other tools depending on what you need, and I'm always more interested in what's useful for you than in sticking to a rigid approach. Sessions feel collaborative — we'll talk, problem solve, and practice skills you can actually apply outside of the room.

Expect the first session to feel more like a conversation than an intake form. I'll want to understand what's bringing you in, what you've already tried, and what you're hoping changes. You don't need to have everything figured out before we start. By the end of the session, we'll have a clearer direction together, and you'll know what working with me actually looks like. I offer a free 15-minute consultation before the first full session if you want to check the fit first — just click through to my website to schedule.
