Trishala Dutt

Therapist

Virtual • New York


I strive to create a space where you feel heard, understood, and supported without judgment. I believe therapy is not only about managing symptoms but also about gaining insight, building resilience, and creating meaningful, lasting change. I earned my Master's degree in Marriage and Family Therapy from Hofstra University and have experience working with individuals, couples, and families in both outpatient and community mental health settings. I work with adults experiencing anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, life transitions, trauma, stress, grief, care-giving burnout, LGBTQ+, substance abuse, self-esteem concerns, and family conflict. I'll help you explore the patterns that may be keeping you stuck while developing practical tools to help you move toward the life and relationships you want and absolutely deserve. I understand that culture, family expectations, identity, and generational experiences can significantly shape mental health and relationships as well. Whether these topics are central to your therapy or simply part of your story, I strive to provide culturally responsive care that honors your unique experiences. I believe every client is unique, so treatment is tailored to your individual goals rather than a one-size-fits-all approach. Whether you're navigating anxiety, relationship difficulties, or simply feeling overwhelmed by life's challenges, I look forward to working alongside you and helping you build greater clarity, confidence, and emotional well-being.

Akiva Garellek

Akiva Garellek

Therapist

Virtual • Hollywood, NY


“We are never more fully alive, more completely ourselves or more deeply engrossed in anything than when we are playing”. -Charles Schaefer. Play is vital for children to express themselves and learn about their surroundings and general environment. In addition to exploration, it is essential for their development. Allowing the space for them to play freely generates the possibility of understanding their world and their motivation. Instead of the traditional format of communication, we often learn more about a child's thoughts, feelings, motivations, and struggles by watching them play.

To be able to give a child power, motivation, and confidence will set the foundation for a successful life. Often times when dealing with a traumatic situation and learning to deal and cope with it effectively, allows a child (or anyone for that matter) to become the best versions of themselves and learn to move forward.

Play Therapy sessions with a Licensed clinician that cares and helps create a safe place. I guide my clients and their parents every step of the way and implement various methods to help them develop new attitudes towards all of life’s most complex matters. The works I do benefits children coming from abusive homes and dealing with some of those challenges.
