Psychotherapist, Ed.M., M.A., LMHC
I’m Sharmishtha, a licensed mental health counselor, and I can join you in figuring out your place in the world.
As an adult Third Culture Kid (TCK), my journey to develop my own sense of self has played a significant role in my calling to help adolescents and adults navigate their unique issues around cultural identity, adjustment, assimilation, and multicultural families and relationships.
Some of the challenges I can support you with include managing stress and anxiety, improving self-esteem, processing grief, understanding and healing from past traumas, and navigating relationship difficulties.
I work with many individuals who struggle with or are interested in exploring their identity as it relates to race, ethnicity, gender, sexuality, and culture and how these may be impacted by systems of oppression.
My hope is that in working with me, you feel comfortable enough to explore the complexities of day to day struggles, and be empowered to make positive changes.
Let’s work on slowing down, building more insight into ourselves and learning ways to safely process difficult experiences.

You will have a 15 minute discovery call with me to make sure we are compatible. We will discuss your reasons for seeking therapy, goals you may have, and what you are looking for in an effective therapist. We will also make sure we are a good fit in terms of fees and schedule availability.
Our first few sessions will be about getting to know you better, setting some goals or areas of focus, and just getting into the rhythm of our therapeutic work together. From there, some people choose to pursue short-term therapy, often focused on resolving a specific issue. Others may benefit from a longer term approach, allowing for deeper work that allows me to help you to move forward and establish strong foundations for long-term change.
