Culturally Sensitive Therapists in 60640

My practice is geared to assist individuals who, in their day to day lives, feel misunderstood, alienated or in other ways feel pressured to ascribe to interpersonal, social, familial or professional "norms" that are in contradiction to their unique personal needs or desires. By honoring each person's individual truth in order to support them in moving forward in an authentic and long-lasting way. Through supported exploration of their past experiences my clients discover how their unique personal history, not only informs how they feel today, but also what they need to change in order to feel better tomorrow.

I’m happy you’re here! I believe that healing takes place in relationship. My therapeutic approach is reflective, humanist, and conversational. I work through Relational-Cultural, Feminist and Person-Centered theoretical frameworks. We will be working together to create a space of healing that is non-judgmental and grounded in self-directive, goal-oriented, and strengths-based work. There is not a one-size-fits-all approach to the therapeutic relationship, so our work together will be tailored to best address your needs.

My approach to therapy is based on respect. I work to honor your unique life experience by adjusting my clinical approach to best meet your individual goals for therapy. I strive to provide a safe and collaborative space for clients to explore thoughts, feelings, behaviors, and patterns in order to facilitate meaningful change in your life. Using a holistic and psychodynamic approach, I can help you to utilize your strengths to promote healing.

Our relationship with ourselves is constantly evolving; a reality that is simultaneously wonderful & deeply challenging. This has an impact on our ability to engage in our lives, communities, & relationships. The journey of self-discovery can feel daunting- my approach to therapy offers a starting point. Through a balance of insight & mindfulness, I invite clients to shift their point of view. I value clients' unique perspective and I believe there’s no such thing as a “one-size-fits-all” approach to therapy. Together, with all our nuances & imperfections, we can co-create a therapeutic relationship that feels safe & impactful.

Entering therapy can be a challenging decision. My approach to therapy is with the focus that you are the ultimate expert on you. As your therapist, I am invited along on your journey and see my role as a facilitator for making changes that are congruent with you and your life goals. My counseling style is interactive, and I collaborate with you to identify choices that align with your life's vision. The objective is to gain insight and choose new approaches to challenges, and problem solving with new choices and behavior.

My purpose is to do work to create change that is sustainable. A change that has space for complexity, reparation, and relating through difference. I have a plan, an offering, and a vision that I want to share with others to improve their quality of life. I want to help those that struggle with and question whether what they are doing matters. As a psychotherapist, the goal is for my clients to tap into their own power to create a positive change for themselves, while also helping to create a world that praises the uniqueness of each person and where humility and compassion are a given.

I believe that as we evolve and grow, our connections with ourselves, others and the world around us can become deeper and more fulfilling. However, when we are under stress, in a relationship crisis, or feel anxious or depressed, our connections to our loved ones and to ourselves are limited. We may be unable to communicate, feel angry, lack energy and feel overwhelmed. In order to relieve life's pressures, it is important to slow down, and become more self-aware--reconnecting with ourselves once again. Counseling fosters trust, and is a process that promotes growth and change.

My name is Nidisha Kaul, LPC. As a Licensed Professional Counselor I have had the opportunity to assist clients in areas such as personal growth/life transitions, sport performance, unresolved childhood wounds, understanding past and current patterns of dysfunction, substance misuse, and their relationship with self and others. Therapy is a self-care practice one embraces to grow, heal, learn, and create a path to self-actualization. By building trust and partnership, I can assist my clients in creating a plan of action that addresses the problem at its core.

I specialize in helping highly sensitive young people, children, adolescents struggling with perfectionist behaviors, anxiety, sleep, anger, GI concerns and low self worth. Therapy will support you to develop a deeper understanding of yourself and live a more connected, boundaried and fulfilled life. I am collaborative in my approach working with other providers to help you function differently. Therapy with me is dynamic and personalized. I am here to help you explore your lived experience.

I believe that all human beings have infinite worth and the ability to grow and change. Utilizing my multicultural background, experiences as a woman of color, and a first-generation immigrant from India, influences my approach to counseling. My focus is on establishing and nurturing client-centered, one-to-one relationships. I aim to help you build awareness by engaging in creative problem-solving, formulating your coping strategies, and focusing on your strength and resiliency.

Do you struggle with intrusive thoughts or memories? Have you been told to mask yourself for other people’s comfort? Do you hold yourself to a higher standard than the one to which you hold others? Have you had difficulty finding a therapist with an intersectional understanding of systemic oppression and all the harm it brings? I work with adults of all ages who want to expand their skills for communication, emotional self-regulation, and radical self-love. I use anti-oppressive practices to help empower my clients to live authentically, joyfully, and with as much safety as possible in a marginalizing society.

My overall goal is to facilitate personal insight to help you achieve the inner peace and balance you need to be the person you want to be. I have a genuine interest in providing a safe and confidential space free of judgment to assist individuals and families cope with life's stressors. At a pace based on your needs, we will work together to develop strategies and skills built on your strengths, personality, and experience to help you be the person you want to be. The treatment I provide is unique to each client.

My approach to therapy is collaborative, whether you come in alone, with a partner, or with your family. Together we explore your therapeutic goals. I firmly believe in the power of relationships to foster resilience and healing. In my work, I strive to cultivate connection and curiosity in an active, direct, and compassionate manner as you explore life's challenges -- deepening your understanding of yourself and learning to connect more meaningfully with others.

I aspire to create a therapeutic space that is safe and affirming, while forming an authentic and genuine connection to best support you. Whether you are seeking out therapy for self- exploration, change, acceptance, or all of the above, we can work together to find the path that is best suited for you. I will collaborate with you every step of the way, challenge you when appropriate, and meet you with compassion and humor when needed – I’m a big believer in the therapeutic power of laughter!

I am a clinical intern focused on working with and empowering individuals to be the best version of themselves. My work focuses on the unique challenges we face trying to balance work, relationships, family, and professional obligations.

I approach clinical work from a relational and attachment-focused perspective. I believe that humans heal and change in relationship to others, and that our connection is paramount for us to be able to do meaningful and long-lasting work. My understanding of the world is also inherently systemic, such that each individual’s intersectional identities, as well as larger systems (e.g., family system, cultural groups and values, larger systems of oppression such as racism, sexism, homophobia, ableism, sizeism), should be made explicit and honored in each session.
