About Me

“Everything has changed and yet I am more me then I ever have been” ~ Ian Thomas

My Story and Why I’m Passionate About My Work:

My clients!

The best part of what makes me who I am as a therapist are all of the clients who have let me into their lives and trusted me with their stories throughout the years. In our collaborative work together, I continue to grow and evolve as a therapist. I feel honored to be a part of their journey as each session brings them a better understanding of themselves, more growth and greater resilience.

Life!

I draw from my personal life to better myself professionally.

Being a parent and stepparent, navigating the executive professional world and career transition, surviving trauma and life after divorce, and then finding a healthy and happy relationship with my partner, are all the ways I work with clients.

In my free time, when I am not expanding my clinical knowledge, I love to travel, cook all kinds of cuisine with my family, try new restaurants, go to community theatre, swim, and hike in beautiful New Jersey!

I enjoy spending quality time with my family. And when I have some solo quiet moments, a good book, my favorite 80s music, and a cup of tea do the trick for me!

Make the Changes You Want

I know from personal experience therapy can change your life.

As your world evolves, grows, and diversifies in opinions, so does your view of being open to self-care. The more you experience the better you understand your heart and mind and the more you prioritize your health.

Therapy is part of that.

Scheduling a session with me can help you figure out what aspects of your life are overwhelming you, a way to sort through them, and the best means for regaining power over your priorities.

Everyone has their own unique therapeutic journey. The amount of time and attention the process requires will depend on your reasons for starting: a specific challenge or issue that you are facing, a life transition, or a deeper emotional trauma from the past. The best part is that we figure it out together!

I truly believe in therapy and the power of the therapeutic journey.

What is Therapy with Babita Like?

When you walk through the doors for your session, I hope you will find that this is where you can let your guard down.

Want to sit or lie down? Put your feet up? Lean forward or lean back. You can choose!

Bring your coffee or that lunch or snack you couldn’t eat at work or home because it was too busy… and begin the journey to express or process whatever it is that brought you to what I describe as a sanctuary from your day-to-day world.

And you don’t need to be the “perfect client” either.

In fact, please don’t – this is your time to feel safe enough to express feeling angry, frustrated, sad, overwhelmed, unclear, or tired. Rest assured you will find in me a warm, attentive listener; but also one who will be very engaged, collaborative and focused on providing insight.

Regardless of what brings you (individually or as a couple) to therapy, it is because you are searching for a positive change within you or in your life. If you’re in need of a professional therapist, please contact us today if you would like to learn more about our therapy or any of our other services.

Therapy Changed My Life!

As a therapist, I can’t begin to fully describe how much therapy changed my life. And I continue to be amazed by the ways my clients find clarity around their priorities and empower themselves to take charge of their lives. Many of my clients stay in touch with me to continue to share their evolving stories and the ways our work together had such a positive effect on their lives.
