Priya Sookbir

Hello! I’m Priya, a Licensed Licensed Clinical Social Worker in NJ. I am truly honored to walk alongside you on this journey. I have experience working with adults with issues related to anxiety, depression, women’s health, stress, and transitions. I have a particular passion for working with individuals navigating perinatal and postpartum mental health, infertility, and the complexities of parenting. As a parent myself, I can empathize! I understand that these experiences can bring both deep joy and significant emotional challenges, and I strive to help clients process their feelings, build resilience, and find balance during these pivotal stages of life. I am here to support you with empathy, understanding, and practical tools for healing and growth.

My approach to therapy is warm, empathetic and collaborative. I actually named my practice, Embraced with Empathy Therapy! I believe that each person’s journey is unique and I tailor my work to meet clients where they are. I use a strengths based approach to help clients better understand their thoughts, emotions, and behaviors. I draw from evidence-based practices such as CBT, DBT, and IFS. Together, we work to develop practical tools for managing challenges, while also exploring patterns and experiences that may be contributing to distress. I have completed trainings specifically to support clients with perinatal mental health, postpartum, and navigating their fertility journey. Above all, I strive to build a genuine, trusting relationship with my clients, one that fosters self-awareness, resilience, and meaningful, lasting change.

During the first session, I hope to learn more about you, provide psychoeducation about the therapy process, and most importantly learn more about your reason to begin this work together. The first session is information gathering and to determine if I may be a good fit for you, and of course build the foundation for our path forward if I am..
