Individual Trauma & DBT Therapy

Alka offers individual therapy in New York and New Jersey for adults seeking support with complex trauma, borderline personality disorder, suicidal thoughts, addiction, identity challenges, and life satisfaction. She views therapy as a safe space to summon the courage to untangle past experiences, better understand yourself, and create meaningful change.

Drawing from evidence-based approaches including DBT (Dialectical Behavior Therapy), CBT (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy), and Motivational Interviewing, Alka integrates these with a person-centered style that emphasizes authenticity, compassion, and intrinsic motivation. Her goal is to help clients manage difficult emotions, improve relationships, and live a life aligned with their values. In other words, what kind of life do you want to live, and how do you get there?

Therapy with Alka might be a good fit if you find yourself noticing:

• I feel things intensely, quickly, and it takes a long time to feel okay again.

• I have a complicated relationship with shame.

• I’ve think I’ve experienced something (or some things) pretty traumatic and I don’t know what to do.

• I get stuck in patterns over and over and I can’t seem to break the cycle.

• I want therapy that is more than just supportive. I want to feel like I’m building something (but I want it to be just supportive sometimes too!).

• I don’t know who I am or what I want.

• I have a lot going on in my life right now and I need support.

…and so much more. If any of these sound like you, reach out!
