Hi, I’m Aneeta, a licensed psychologist based in New York. I received my doctorate degree in Clinical Psychology from The Chicago School of Professional Psychology. I’ve worked in a variety of settings including college counseling, community mental health, inpatient care, and private practice, supporting adults and young adults through life’s challenges. I tailor my care to your needs, moving at your pace in a safe, non-judgmental space. My approach is relational, trauma-informed, and strengths-based. Our work centers on relationships, including ours, because I believe feeling connected is key to healing and growth. Together, we'll explore the different parts of yourself, your strengths, identity, and values to help you feel more connected and whole. I especially enjoy working with people who are exploring their identity, navigating relationship and family dynamics, healing from past experiences, or adjusting to big life transitions. Whether you’re trying to understand yourself better, heal from past wounds, or create more fulfilling relationships, I’m here to support you. If you think we might be a good fit or want to learn more, please reach out!

Are you or a loved one feeling stuck – uncertain about navigating changes in your life, how you see yourself, or how to reconnect with those close to you? When we feel stuck, taking steps forward can feel like a monumental task. We can work together to break down your thoughts and uncertainties, determine the best way forward, and put practical strategies into action, to empower you to create the life you want for yourself. In me, you’ll have a collaborator who will follow your lead and ensure you feel you heard but will be willing to challenge you and continue to motivate you towards achieving your goals. Therapy with me involves weaving together practical skill-building and evidence-based strategies to help you achieve your individualized goals. I work with individuals experiencing difficult life transitions at work, at home, or at school. Through individual, parent, or family sessions, we will untangle your thoughts, improve your self-esteem, and take tangible steps towards sustainable change. Neurodiversity (Autism & ADHD) affirming and LGBTQ+ friendly, I always take a person-centric approach. When you have a better understanding of who you are and what you want, your goals will feel attainable. Everyone has the ability to move past the struggles they’re experiencing, and together we can create solutions and develop skills to build long-term happiness.

Healing doesn’t happen alone, I specialize in affirming therapy for creative individuals who feel stuck or are struggling with transitions at school, in their personal lives, and their careers.

My clinical background spans child, adolescent, adult, and geriatric populations, with experience across acute care, primary care, oncology, hospice, and other community health settings. College can feel overwhelming, especially when you’re dealing with anxiety, depression, grief or loss, or constant stress. I provide a calm, supportive space where you can talk openly and feel understood. We will work together to better understand what you’re going through and create a plan that fits your life, school schedule, and goals. If medication may help, we can discuss safe options and what to expect. You don’t have to handle this alone. Help is available.

The college students I work best with are thoughtful, curious, and trying hard, even if it doesn’t always feel that way. Many are dealing with anxiety, perfectionism, or OCD and feel overwhelmed by the pressure to succeed, figure things out quickly, or keep it all together. Some struggle with focus, motivation, or routines, even though they care deeply about their goals. A lot of my clients tell me they feel stuck in their heads, constantly overthinking, procrastinating, or second-guessing themselves. They’re tired of feeling like they’re falling behind and want someone who truly understands and can offer tools that actually help. In our work, we make space for what’s difficult while building real strategies to help you feel more grounded, capable, and clear about what you want.

I offer a compassionate and supportive therapeutic space where clients can safely explore all aspects of themselves. While healing is ultimately a personal process, working with an attuned and understanding therapist can provide the containment and trust needed for meaningful change. I support individuals seeking therapy for emotional healing, self-understanding, and personal growth, helping clients gently engage with experiences that may feel difficult to face alone. My integrative approach draws on psychoanalytic psychotherapy, alongside somatic and mindfulness-based practices. I support individuals who may feel overwhelmed, emotionally stuck, or disconnected from themselves or others. I work with clients experiencing anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, cultural identity challenges, life transitions, and the lasting impact of past experiences. I believe meaningful therapy emerges through a strong therapeutic relationship grounded in trust, respect, and genuine curiosity. My work supports clients in moving beyond survival patterns toward greater emotional freedom, resilience, and a more connected way of living.

I pride myself on assisting adults to find a safe space to process their thoughts and life experiences. I have 7 years of clinical experience working with a diverse group of adults to build a stronger sense of self and confidence. Therapy is a journey.
