Hi! I’m Shreeja, a licensed master social worker providing psychotherapy at Transcendent Self Therapy in Williamsburg, Brooklyn. I work with individuals and couples navigating trauma, mood challenges, relationship issues, identity questions, and periods of transition or disconnection. Many of the people I work with are thoughtful, insightful individuals who may understand themselves intellectually, yet still feel stuck in recurring emotional or relational patterns that are harder to shift alone. My approach is relational, psychodynamic, and deeply collaborative, informed by attachment theory, somatic and mindfulness-based practices, and experiential approaches to therapy. I am especially interested in how early relationships, nervous system adaptations, cultural environments, and survival strategies continue to shape the ways we relate to ourselves and others. Rather than viewing symptoms or coping patterns as something to “fix,” I believe therapy can help us better understand the wisdom, pain, and context from which they emerged. As a bicultural therapist, I also bring a culturally sensitive and systems-aware lens to my work, informed by both lived experience and ongoing learning around identity, intergenerational dynamics, and decolonized approaches to healing. I provide therapy in English, Hindi, and Gujarati.
