Family Therapy in Towson, MD

Diksha believes that all the resources a client needs to heal are already within them. He doesn’t view therapy as simply talking for an hour each week, but instead seeks to offer a systematic path of self-transformation – that can give you as much as you put in. Diksha focuses on creating a trusting, real, and non-judgemental environment that allows the client’s authentic self to emerge. He works from an Internal Family Systems (IFS) approach that guides clients in practical and thorough inner-work. This systematic approach aims at healing the “roots” of our psychological issues, rather than just managing our symptoms.

Many of us are fortunate to have friends and family who listen to our problems and concerns. But, sometimes, that may not be enough and we need the help and guidance of a skilled and experienced professional. We also want to be sure that we are getting an objective and unbiased opinion. I am a very active participant in the sessions, giving feedback and making suggestions. Most people come in with specific "here and now" issues they want to resolve. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is one of several approaches useful in addressing both current issues and those of longer duration.

Everyone deserves to feel heard, known, and supported. Each individual, child, and family is unique and I strive to treat you as such, honoring your journey and specific goals.

There are times in life when it is difficult to believe that we will ever reach our dreams, hopes, goals, or have the future for which we had hoped. We may be feeling stuck, lonely, and unable to develop or access our wisdom and strengths. Too often, challenging life situations or decisions made in the past tend to have a lasting effect on our lives. I believe that everyone has the capacity to grow, change and heal our relationships with ourselves, our significant others, and those around us.

I have worked with individuals and families in a variety of treatment settings. My experience as a teacher, mentor, athletic coach, and Dean of Students has allowed me to distinguish the different developmental stages of children, particularly adolescent males.

As a Practitioner working with families, I help clients make substantial changes that center around practical strategies and evidence-based practices that allow them to build strong, nourishing relationships.

I believe in an individual's desire for self-awareness. I hope to provide a comfortable environment where, as the client, you can explore your choices for the future.

I see individuals who have been working hard and are still struggling to understand why they feel and/or think as they do. I also work with parents who want to do their best for their child(ren) while developing deeper relationships with themselves.
