P
reet is a psychotherapist and board certified mental health counselor in New York State, providing individual therapy to
adults at Insight & Action Therapy in New York City. She holds a Master's degree in Applied Psychology from New York University and is an alumna of The New School. She works with adults from diverse backgrounds, and all are welcome. Many people she sees are thoughtful and self aware individuals who function well outwardly yet privately feel anxious, overextended, lonely or disconnected, and unsure where they belong. Some feel burned out from holding everything together or uncertain who they are becoming as life changes. She offers a safe, non judgmental space where you feel understood, seen, and able to be yourself.
Preet holds a Master's degree in Applied Psychology from New York University and is an alumna of The New School. She is a board certified mental health counselor in New York State, a credential that reflects advanced clinical training and a demonstrated commitment to the highest standards of mental health care.
Preet's approach is integrative, blending psychodynamic, culturally informed, trauma informed, and somatic therapies. She supports clients with anxiety, depression, ADHD, self worth and identity, grief, life transitions, relationship concerns, and work stress, among others. Together you identify patterns and explore new responses so change is felt, not just understood.
Therapy with Preet is collaborative and guided by what you need at each stage. She listens closely and, when helpful, gently challenges patterns that keep you stuck. You don't need perfect words or a clear starting point. Sessions begin with what feels most present for you, and she works through it with you so you feel more grounded and less alone in what you're carrying.
Individual Therapy for Anxiety, Depression, and Burnout in New York City
Preet works with adults navigating a wide range of concerns, including anxiety, depression, burnout, work stress, and emotional exhaustion. She has particular experience supporting high functioning individuals whose inner experience doesn't match how they appear to the world, people who are doing everything right and still not feeling okay. Her approach helps clients move beyond simply understanding what's happening and toward actually feeling the change in their bodies, relationships, and daily lives.
Therapy for Identity, Self Worth, and Life Transitions in New York City
Questions of identity, who we are, who we're becoming, and where we belong, are at the heart of much of Preet's clinical work. She supports clients working through self worth and self esteem concerns, major life transitions, career changes, relationship shifts, and the particular disorientation that can come when the life you've built no longer feels like it fits. She works with adults at all stages of life who are in the process of redefining themselves and searching for a more grounded, authentic way of moving through the world.
Therapy for Grief, Relationship Concerns, and Family Conflict in New York City
Preet supports clients navigating grief and loss, dating and relationship concerns, family conflict, and the complex emotional terrain of significant interpersonal change. She helps clients identify the patterns that show up across their relationships, the ways early experiences, attachment styles, and core beliefs quietly shape how they connect with others, and develop new, more fulfilling ways of relating.
ADHD Therapy and Support for Neurodivergent Adults in New York City
Preet works with adults with ADHD and supports clients navigating the emotional and relational dimensions of neurodivergence, including self worth, identity, work stress, and the exhaustion of operating in systems not designed with them in mind.
Culturally Informed and Trauma Informed Therapy in New York City
Preet is deeply committed to culturally informed and trauma informed care. She works with adults from diverse cultural, ethnic, and international backgrounds and understands that identity, culture, and lived experience are not peripheral to mental health, they are central to it. All backgrounds, identities, and experiences are welcomed and honored in her practice.
MY APPROACH
Sit with it, then move with it.
Understanding what you're carrying is part of the work. Moving with it is the rest. Here's what our time together actually looks like.
Preet's therapeutic approach is integrative, blending psychodynamic, trauma-informed, culturally informed, and somatic therapies into a framework that is always tailored to the individual client. She holds a holistic perspective — seeing each person as a complete individual with unique needs, experiences, intersecting identities, and inner wisdom — rather than reducing clients to a diagnosis or a checklist of symptoms.
At the core of her psychodynamic work is a focus on uncovering the patterns, emotional blocks, limiting beliefs, and early relational experiences that quietly shape how we think, feel, and move through the world. Somatic therapy adds another dimension, helping clients connect with what their bodies are carrying and move toward change that is felt as much as it is understood — because insight alone isn't always enough.
Therapy with Preet is collaborative and responsive. She listens closely and attentively, following what each client needs at each stage of the work. When helpful, she will gently challenge the patterns that keep clients stuck — not to push, but to open up new possibilities. Her goal is for every client to leave each session feeling more grounded, more self-aware, and a little less alone in what they're carrying.
"She challenges me to do the work, and grow through the process of therapy."
