Ami Sharma-Desai, LCSW

As a therapist, I am deeply committed to understanding your needs, strengths, and life experiences which have shaped who you are today. I value fostering an environment in which trust can be founded upon creating a safe, warm, nonjudgmental and collaborative therapeutic relationship. Together, we will develop coping skills and strategies to help you feel empowered to effectively manage your life concerns. I specialize in working with adolescents and adults from diverse walks of life struggling with anxiety, depression, cultural concerns, relationship issues, trauma, grief/loss, and life transitions. You can expect that I will regularly seek your feedback and input during our journey together as I strongly believe you are the expert in knowing yourself best.

Utilizing a multicultural and trauma informed lens, I tailor treatment and interventions based on each client’s needs. I am also trained in mindfulness, CBT, DBT, and EMDR which specifically targets decreasing symptoms of trauma. This personalized approach ensures your healing journey receives multifaceted support, drawing upon the most effective techniques to meet your specific needs. Through our work together, you will build the resilience needed to navigate life’s inevitable obstacles with newfound confidence.
