WHO WE ARE

We are a team of South Asian therapists who empower our clients to explore the parts of their life experiences that might be holding them back in the present. We utilize our collective cultural insight to lead you towards transformation.

The method

Connection

Care

Culturally Aware

We Grow Better Together

You don’t have to do it alone anymore. We help you explore and resolve
the emotional barriers that keep you isolated.

 
 

Anxiety

Constant worry about the past or future prevents you from living in the moment.

 

Depression

Feeling low and avoidant blocks you from the people and experiences that bring you joy.

 

Low Self Esteem 

Questioning yourself and failing to see your good qualities causes detachment, dread, and demobilization.

 
 

Relationship Ruptures

Distance and frequent conflict in your intimate or familial relationships feels painful and perpetuates toxicity. 

 

Trauma

Deep wounds from the past continue to show up in the present and seem insurmountable.

 

Student & Job Stress

The pressure to succeed mixed with the fear of failure can push you towards misaligned endeavors that ultimately feel unfulfilling. 

We get where you’re coming from

Gaya Therapy carefully supports the unique challenges of a culturally, ethnically, and racially diverse community. Through relating on the shared experiences of feeling and being “different,” we heal together.

  • As a college student or young professional, there are so many life transitions happening at once that can feel overwhelming.

  • The differences between Asian and American culture are vast and trying to constantly “fit in” with both is exhausting.

  • Immigrating to a new country with less social support and the absence of a safety net can be scary and lonely.

  • The pressure to make your immigrant family proud can override your own passions and leave you feeling stuck and confused.

  • Being a BIPOC in the United States carries its own challenges and hardships that might prevent you from progression.

 

We help your brain change, for the better.

Say goodbye to your old wired-in way of being, and hello to a whole new way of living.

FAQs

 

  • Fees range from $200-300 per session depending on the type of service being provided.

  • We live by the phrase, “You have to go slow in order to go fast.”

    Treatment may be short or long-term depending on the severity of symptoms, level of exposure to adversity, frequency of sessions, and readiness for change. Since the brain takes time and repetition to rewire, we encourage you to trust in the slower nature of this process to assure lasting results.
