PRARTHITA JAIN, LMHC

Do you find yourself feeling like you’re going in circles in your relationship? Or even worse, feeling completely stuck? Do you struggle with feelings of anxiety as a result? These feelings are more common than we’d like to admit. Being here is the first, most difficult and also most brave step you can take towards getting the support you need in a safe, judgement free space. 

There is often a lot of stigma around discussions of mental health, which make seeking help when we are struggling all the more difficult. Unlike physical ailments, the only way to identify and overcome your struggle is by trusting yourself and your feelings. Creating that relationship with yourself would be an essential part of our work together. In my trauma-sensitive approach, I will work on providing you with tools to connect with your mind and body. My approach to therapy includes identifying the roadblocks that hold you back in your personal, professional, relational and other areas of your life and integrating those experiences to foster self-awareness, practical solutions, and advance personal growth. 

I have trained in couples counseling through the Gottman Institute and provide marital as well as pre-marital counseling. My training has reinforced my belief that developing a healthy relationship is an art with science to back it. This belief makes me passionate to work with couples who might be feeling discouraged and doubtful in the ability to repair the relationship. By approaching the relationship like any valuable piece of art, I work with my clients to rekindle the love and restore the foundations of the relationship by working on healthy communication, friendship and appreciation. 

In my experience working at various mental health and psychiatric facilities, I have understood the importance of an intersectional approach to therapy. I enjoy working with people with various racial, ethnic, cultural, religious backgrounds as these different parts of us make up the whole individual. I approach my clients in a collaborative manner and provide them the tools and space they need to heal, learn, and grow. I believe in an integrated approach to therapy as there is no “one size fits all” solution and draw from psychodynamic as well as the behavioral lens. While the psychodynamic lens gives me an opportunity to explore your worldview by learning about your attachments, relationships and other past experiences, the behavioral lens is an active approach to bring about changes for wholesome living.  

Going to therapy can seem like a challenge, but I believe that taking this first step is the hardest because, after that, you will not be alone on your journey. I encourage you to contact us for a consultation and we can discuss your goals for our work together!
