As a therapist I strive to be closely attuned to you and am collaborative in our work. I strive to understand your world and offer mental health knowledge so you can understand yourself better. You can know more about my approach by watching the video below.

Yes! If you’re interested in confirming whether I am the right person to support your need for therapy, supervision, or consultation , use the contact form to get in touch.

We will reach out to schedule a 15-minute meeting.

After our first virtual 60-minute appointment, we can discuss in-person meeting options.

Therapist Ally is a one-time consultation to help take the overwhelm out of the process of searching for a therapist. After working at a university counseling center for 5+ years, I developed ways to use brief therapy to ascertain the kind of therapeutic styles and qualities that may work for different people. I also realized that the search for the right therapist is particularly hard if you don’t understand the mental health system, ways to pay for therapy, etc. So I share what I know in order to help individuals gain clarity about their mental health needs and how to meet them. This service may be particularly beneficial for first-time therapy users or people who have tried a bunch of therapists but not found the right match.

• No, I don’t. Couples’ Therapy (and family therapy too) require special skills and training. I do not possess these skills . Additionally, years of experience in individual therapy or even group therapy do not automatically translate into skills in couples’ or family therapy. I encourage you to look for therapists who explicitly state that they offer couples’  or family therapy or parenting coaching. 

For people who plan to use their insurance to pay for individual therapy, see the FAQ section about insurance.

We certainly can!

However, there is a fee.

As a self-employed individual with various commitments, I've been seeking balance in mentoring folks in a way that honors your aspirations while acknowledging my own human limitations.

Hence, I offer paid support to those who are requesting guidance related to pursuing a Masters or Ph.D. in the field of mental health.

I provide one-on-one consultations and occasional paid workshops to offer both general and customized support to students who are pursuing graduate studies in the field of mental health.

Consultation Fee & what it includes

The consultation fee is INR 2999. This includes a recorded 60-minute conversation where we will address your questions and I will offer my own insights. The goal of our meeting is to get to know your aspirations and existing experience so I can affirm you in ways that combine pragmatic information and aspirational goals. Think of it as a therapeutic consultation about your career.

Consultation Preparation

If you have information about universities, a draft SOP, or specific questions that you would like to address during our meeting, please let me know so we can set aside time for that as well.

Follow-Up Support

Following our meeting, I will be available over the next 30 days to answer brief questions or to offer confirmations/clarifications about things we discussed at our meeting. I strive to serve as the knowledgeable cheerleader I did not have when I applied.

Additional Support

If it emerges that you need to discuss things in greater depth and might benefit from another consultation, we can schedule another meeting.

Financial Constraints

I understand that financial constraints may exist, so if you wish to pay a lower fee, please do not hesitate to communicate this to me.
