Pre-Licensed Professional
Accepting clients Last Updated 2 days ago

Hi there! Are you a young adult feeling stuck or lost about your future? You might battle depression that disrupts sleep and focus, mood swings that leave you unsteady, major or career concerns that cause anxiety, or the intense pressures of being a 1st-generation American balancing family cultural expectations, identity confusion, and fear of letting down those who sacrificed everything for you. Perhaps you're torn between honoring your roots and carving your own path, feeling isolated, exhausted, or doubting your worth. You want to live authentically, with purpose and freedom, not just survive.
My name is Ishani Synghal and I am a pre-licensed therapist currently practicing under the supervision of Ashton Crain, LCPC at Elevate Counseling + Wellness. As a 1st-generation South Asian woman, I'd help you navigate stress, mood disorders, and multicultural identity experiences. My collaborative approach blends psychodynamic insight, narrative therapy, Gestalt, person-centered principles, and DBT tools guided by your goals to uncover resilience, reframe patterns, and build skills for a balanced life. I offer warmth, collaboration, and nonjudgmental support to explore challenges, build resilience, and celebrate your growth.
You deserve a safe, culturally sensitive space where your story is heard deeply and respected. Let's reclaim your inner strength together and craft the fulfilling, authentic life you envision.
