Over the course of my career, I have strived to obtain a diverse background, in order to be able to help the many needs of my varying clients. My background includes working in residential treatment facilities, psychiatric hospitals, correctional settings, hospitals, as well as private practice. Through these various avenues, I have been provided services such as direct care, case management, individual, group and family counseling, as well as psychiatric assessments.  Through various therapeutic approaches, I work with my clients to help them heal, energize, and become aware of their inner strengths.

I may NOT be the best fit if you are looking for a therapist that: -treats trauma or substance abuse, provides ESA letters, or completes FMLA/disability paperwork

In my free time, I love to spend time with my children, travel (anywhere there's a beach), and just enjoy life

Hello! I am Alpana, a Licensed Professional Counselor Associate and a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist Associate.

I believe that clients know themselves best and are experts of their lives. Sometimes in life a  person may find they may be unable to get past experiences of trauma or grief,  and may feel lost or stuck. Friends and family can offer support and solace during our time of need, however therapy allows for you to develop a relationship with a supportive therapist who  practices an integrative and non-judgmental clinical approach to create a safe and nurturing environment to explore self and growth. 

My therapeutic style and holistic approach to therapy includes Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Person Centered Therapy with my clients. I see clients of all ages who may be dealing with challenges including: 

anxiety,  depression, relationship difficulties, motherhood and general life stressors. I am also  trained in Laughter Yoga.   

I  am a graduate of Prairie View A&M University with a Master’s degree in Human  Sciences, specializing in Marriage and Family Therapy.  My philosophy is that every one has a gift to heal oneself from within with guidance and  support. 

I speak the following languages: 

English, Hindi, Urdu, Maithili & Nepali
