I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker dedicated to helping clients navigate life’s challenges to reach their goals. I view the therapeutic process as a unique journey we take together - exploring your strengths, addressing obstacles, and uncovering new possibilities.

No two paths are the same, and I am committed to walking alongside you to chart a course that supports your personal growth.

I believe that therapy is a collaborative journey, not a one-size-fits-all process. Each person’s story is unique, and I work with clients to chart a path that fits their needs, values, and dreams.

Whether helping young clients build coping skills or working with families to strengthen support systems, my focus is on creating a safe, collaborative environment where growth can happen.

Teeny Das

Therapist

Virtual • Pennsylvania


I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with extensive experience supporting adolescents, adults, and older adults through life’s most challenging transitions. My background spans mental health therapy, crisis intervention, trauma recovery, child welfare, and geriatric care, which allows me to work with clients from a holistic, compassionate, and well-rounded perspective.

I use a strength-based, trauma-informed, and person-centered approach, meeting each client where they are and honoring their unique experiences. My clinical work integrates evidence-based modalities such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), DBT-informed skills, Motivational Interviewing, Solution-Focused Therapy, and mindfulness-based practices. I work collaboratively with clients to set meaningful goals, build coping skills, and create sustainable change.

I have experience helping clients navigate anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, stress, emotional regulation, self-esteem, relationship challenges, and major life transitions. I also bring a strong background in crisis support and safety planning, ensuring clients feel supported, grounded, and safe throughout the therapeutic process.

Above all, I strive to provide a warm, non-judgmental, and culturally responsive space where clients feel heard, respected, and empowered. Therapy with me is collaborative and paced to your needs, with a focus on helping you reconnect with your strengths and move forward with greater clarity and confidence.
