I have over 35 years of experience helping children, couples, adults, and parents who experience feeling stuck, alone, sad, anxious, or unable to find the forward motion to reach goals for well being. Together we can create a safe space to address difficult emotions, and identify resources and habits that support resiliency and wellness.

We have significant training and experience in providing treatment to adolescents, adults, couples, and families.
Did you know that the quality of the relationship you have with your therapist is strongly linked to successful therapeutic outcomes? This is why my goal is to provide every person I see with an emotionally safe space, free of judgment. You want somebody who genuinely cares, who is curious and hopeful. I encourage people to explore new ways of thinking about their experiences and different ways of expressing themselves. I aim for the people I work with to leave each session feeling more empowered, with a sense of agency, and able to learn what they're capable of doing.

Hello, my name is Ronak Makadia, and I am a licensed clinical psychologist with additional training in social work. As a second-generation, Asian American I quickly learned the stigma and shame attached to attending therapy, especially within the Asian American community. As a cis-gender woman of color, I value and will provide culturally competent services. I work with high-functioning adults and older adults to overcome any barriers they may be facing. I will always encourage you to create, learn, and consistently use healthy coping mechanisms. To avoid staying stuck, I collaborate with you in developing solutions.

I run a group for parents of young adults who are not succeeding in life.
I believe in creating a safe, supportive space to understand oneself more deeply. As connection and trust evolve between myself and the client, a frank discussion about their identity, wishes, feelings, conflicts can be facilitated and understood. This can enable them make informed decisions regarding how to better navigate their lives. When a patient comes in crisis, I am also available as support, to help them return to a previous level of functioning. We try to learn the significance of this event, so as to use it as an opportunity to enrich the client's life.

While I utilize Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and other evidence-based approaches to help adolescents, adults, and families become more effective at skillfully navigating the obstacles life throws at us, I also believe "you are the expert on you.
The hardest part of overcoming a challenge is knowing where to start. In counseling, we can discover together what is getting in the way of living your best life. Whether you're struggling to manage emotions (e.g. anxiety, sadness), keep up with work/school, master your relationship with technology, or navigate recent life transitions, it can feel overwhelming at times to go it alone! I will work with you to identify your "stuck points", collaboratively create a plan to address the areas you want to work on, and support you in replacing approaches that don't work with ones that do. Change is hard but worth the effort!

I believe that therapy is a collaborative process that allows trust and authenticity to foster insight and growth. A willingness to look inward and allow space for vulnerability will bring you stronger, more authentic connections to both yourself and to the people in your life. I provide psychotherapy for adults, young adults and older adolescents in an empathetic non-judgmental environment with a focus on self-awareness, self-compassion and self-kindness. I use a variety of techniques and theories as well as warmth and a touch of humor to help move your towards healing and reaching your goals.

I spent several years working in New York City's mental health system, providing individual and group psychotherapy to adults and adolescents, addiction treatment, and family conflict resolution.
Opening up can be challenging for some individuals, so I make it a priority to create a safe, warm, and respectful environment. I am a compassionate and creative therapist who strives to ensure that you will feel heard and understood as you confront life's challenges. Therapy is an opportunity to find personal fulfillment, increased self-understanding, and the ability to self-reflect. I will help you in this journey and along the way we will identify unhealthy patterns of thinking, feeling, and behaving, as well as strengthen meaningful relationships.

Sometimes life can throw us challenges that feel too difficult to bear alone. As a therapist, it is my passion to create a warm and safe environment to support my clients through whatever struggles you may endure. I enjoy working with a wide variety of clients, and often see children, adolescents, families, and adults who are experiencing depression, anxiety, body image or eating struggles, trauma, or any stress resulting from a life transition. Viewing therapy through a holistic lens, I see each client as more than just a set of presenting problems, but as a whole person with a unique set of strengths, struggles, values, and goals.
