Family Therapy in Towson, MD

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.

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.

I am using both Teletherapy and in-person sessions to help those who are feeling exhausted from the demands of their current life circumstances, concerned over their capacity to move through these circumstances with what they now believe about themselves, conflicted over their personal or professional relationship(s), troubled by family members who are struggling, suffering from a psychological or physical dependence on an addictive substance or behavior, living with chronic or situational depression, anger, anxiety, Adult ADHD, PTSD, and those whose personality traits make life more complicated than it needs to be.

I work as a team with my clients to help them recognize their potential and realistically help them make changes in their life. I start where the client is but look at their family history to get an idea of their foundation. My clients often are depressed and/or anxious so I come up with a treatment plan that meets their abilities. I treat teenagers and adults, individuals, couples and families. I have a background in domestic violence and often help victims in emotional and physical abuse cases. I also help people learn anger management techniques to control their tempers.

Immediate openings with evening hours offered. We all encounter obstacles and hardships in life. Difficult family dynamics, personal relationships, mental health issues, and life or career transitions can be challenging and bring deep pain or confusion. Getting support is essential. Life can be difficult to navigate, but the good news is that you don’t have to do it alone.

I believe that psychotherapy is most effective when it is strengths-based: identifying and nourishing each individual's inner strengths in order to help them heal and develop new capacities for growth. Using mindfulness and body-aware techniques, as well as gentle mental exploration and traditional psychotherapy, I see my work as guiding individuals to unlock their own innate capacity to heal. I am also certified as a Nature-Informed Therapist and work to integrate the healing properties of the natural world into mental health treatment.
