Counseling wasn’t something I had a lot of faith in, but a friend of mine, who had worked with Aparna in therapy, had highly recommended her...so I figured I would try it! I was pleasantly surprised when I went for my first session with Aparna…there was no hocus pocus or ‘holier than thou’ attitude!! Aparna was very professional, practical and yet empathetic and non-judgemental.

I have worked with Aparna as a colleague for 3 years at Carrier Clinic, NJ, where we worked with a client group ranging from adolescents to older adults, on issues related to anxiety, depression, substance abuse, relationship/marital discord and family therapy. Aparna demonstrated expert clinical skills and professional integrity. She effortlessly built a great rapport with her clients and their families and worked from a place of diligence, respect and compassion for them.

Seeing Aparna has changed my life. I was feeling lost, angry and I was confused about the way forward. She was very insightful and helped me sort through all the stuff in my head…we worked on Skype, which was great for me! She would tell me to ‘open up a word doc’ and helped me to set goals and together we looked at ways I could achieve those goals and how I could keep track of it…we worked on my anger and self-confidence…we also spoke about relationships and how I should handle them.
