ABOUT ME My goal as a therapist is to help people find healing & joy in their lives so that they can live as they were created to & reach out beyond themselves. I have been a therapist for 7 years and worked with people of all ages (children, teens, families, parents, adults, couples) using a variety of therapy modalities including: cognitive, Christian, art, and play therapies. I tend to use a strength-based approach to therapy, which means I go where my clients need/want to go and I encourage the strengths I see in them while also promoting growth in other areas. I have experience in helping people develop healthier coping skills for stress, anxiety, anger, grief & depression, as well as improve relationships with their children, spouses and extended families. Some of my favorite things to do are to help clients see the good in their lives, then dream of the future and develop practical steps towards achieving those dreams. It is very fulfilling to see people make progress in areas they desire to see change, and to recognize their own strengths!

Life may feel overwhelming, confusing, scary and lonely at times; but you are not alone. It takes courage to seek out connection and support in therapy. I value the bravery and vulnerability that it takes to reach out for support, especially when life has caused pain or hurt in the past. Within the therapeutic process, I hope that you are able to find and learn to love your authentic self, so that you can find joy and connection within yourself and your relationships. I’m humbled and honored to walk alongside you in your journey towards healing and wholeness, providing empathy, encouragement, feedback and tools along the way. Relationships heal. Therapy is a safe place to learn what healthy and secure relationships feel like for you in your life. I am clinically trained in Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Eye Movement Desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR) for the treatment of trauma and acute stress disorders. I enjoy working with young adults, middle- aged and geriatric adults that are seeking to learn skills, change behavior, feel better and heal in a secure, empathetic and trusting therapeutic relationship. I utilize a person-centered theory in my therapeutic approach and always center treatment on what each client needs, whether they are experiencing anxiety, depression, grief or loss, low self-esteem, trauma or another difficulty. I look forward to the opportunity to help you overcome these difficulties and create the positive changes you want to make for your future!
Shipra Singh
I have been practicing in the field of mental health since past 15 years. My personal experience with counseling was that there was a safe and non judgmental space, where someone was ethically and empathically devoted towards helping me find peace from chaos, find answers from the turmoil, and finally feel connected to my own self as a person. My primary modality in therapy sessions involves integrated approach, where in I incorporate Person Centered therapy modality to establish an empathetic, non-judgmental, genuinely caring and therapeutic environment where a person can feel safe, comfortable and supported to open up about their qualms and concerns. The other intervention modalities involve Cognitive Behavior Therapy, and Dialectical Behavior Therapies which facilitate the discussion and solution focused phase in the therapy session. My ideal client is anyone who is struggling with daily life stressors, trying to manage symptoms of clinical/non-clinical depression, and anxiety symptoms, sleep issues, PTSD symptoms, Grief, Self Esteem and Self Confidence issues, Generational Trauma challenges, adjustment issues, struggling in academics, career and relationships. Parenting issues. I also specialize in women mental health, and in supporting Perinatal/PostPartum phase women. Overall my goal is to provide a safe space of therapy which provides support not just for the severe mental health, lifestyle and daily life issues and concerns, but also acts as a space for self care !
