Vishakha Choudhary, MA, MHC-LP

(She/Her/Hers)

We’re so excited to have Vishakha Choudhary, MA, MHC-LP join our Clinical Team! Vishakha (Vish) is a New York State Mental Health Counselor (Limited Permit) who earned her Bachelor's in Psychology from Symbiosis International University, India, and her Master's in Mental Health Counseling from Yeshiva University, in New York City.

 

As a person of color, Vish understands the emphasis a person might put on aspects of their identity. Her work is based on understanding her clients as unique individuals and not limiting them to the struggle they are going through. Vish welcomes people from all walks of life and all identities regardless of their orientation.

​

Vish’s eclectic approach provides an environment filled with acceptance and support. This means that the clients know themselves and what they are going through the best; however, they require support to navigate the challenges in their lives and this is where she comes in. In her eclectic approach, Vish uses techniques that look at unhelpful thoughts, behavior patterns, and feelings.  She also adopts techniques from other therapeutic approaches based on the client's unique needs.

 

Vish enjoys helping her clients navigate their concerns around grief, self-esteem, and family systems and she has a wide range of experience experience working with a wide range of populations in terms of age and their type of presenting issue, some of which include depression, anxiety, trauma, substance use, and psychosis. Vish is trilingual and welcomes the opportunity to provide therapy to individuals in English, Hindi, and Punjabi. She is looking forward to working with familiar and new populations!
