Hello! My name is Jen and I am a licensed clinical social worker. I have been in the field for 11 years now. I have experience working with teenagers in a high school setting, as well as young adults in an inpatient psychiatric center. I am passionate about helping people find their strengths, remember their worth, and progress toward their wellness goals. In my practice, I use modalities that are designed to empower you through skill-based therapy. Together, we will process how your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors are interconnected. This will allow us to find a path to get you feeling more like yourself again. I look forward to connecting with you!

There are numerous transitions in life. Teenagers moving from high school to college, young adults leaving college to enter the work force and all of the transitions in an adult life: relationships, job changes, growing a family and more. As individuals navigate through life transitions, they can find themselves feeling stuck or overwhelmed waiting to settle into the new. These transitions range in time and can take weeks or months to navigate. This time brings new challenges and barriers to overcome and asks us to respond in new ways. We will work together to recognize that each transition is truly a new beginning. I believe in providing a caring and supportive healing environment for my clients so that we may develop a trusting working relationship. During the course of treatment we will work collaboratively to help clarify issues, set goals, gain insight and understanding, and create more effective and satisfying methods of moving forward in your life.

Hi, I’m Liz! I’m a Licensed therapist (LCSW) and Certified Clinical Sports Social Worker - and founder of MENTL.SESH. I help people accomplish their goals, reconnect with their sense of self, boost confidence, and improve mental fitness by meeting them where they are at in their mental health journeys. Working with athletes, high performers and creatives to manage anxiety, depression, trauma, stress, and challenging life situations are my areas of specialty. Therapy should feel fulfilling and the last thing I want for my clients is for therapy to feel like a chore. I believe that a strong therapeutic relationship is the foundation for working toward and achieving therapeutic goals, so I encourage you to feel all the feels, speak your mind, and be yourself in sessions. Therapy with me is a collaborative process and I want any clients who work with me to feel that they are heard and supported. Throughout the therapy process, we will explore both the highs and lows, whether that be through identifying thought patterns, behavioral patterns, current and past experiences, or self-care and coping skills. I'm a firm believer that healing is not linear and acknowledging the good is equally important to living your best life. I aim to have a down-to-earth, strengths-based & integrative approach and will most definitely throw in a few sports and pop culture references, thinking outside of the box, and use humor when appropriate. I received my Master’s in Social Work degree from NYU and have advanced training in, Sports Social Work interventions, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy as well as Trauma Focused -Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, trauma-informed practice, Functional Family therapy, and more.

I am a licensed clinician who has been providing therapy services for 4 years. I am trained in trauma informed care and trauma modalities to address PTSD and other trauma-stressor disorders. I also specialize in cognitive behavioral therapy to address anxiety and depressive symptoms. I provide a person-centered approach while focusing on specific areas of concern and processing their impact on your daily life. During the initial session, I like to focus on getting to know you as the client and what you want out of therapy. I know therapy can be very intimidating and I am here to help make the first steps as easy as possible.

Life is stressful. Change and acceptance are difficult & sometimes seem downright impossible. As a psychotherapist my goal is to help you: feel supported; gain confidence; & cope with life's-stressors. Together we will create a flexible treatment plan 'tailor-made' for you. You will gain insight, learn coping skills, feel and become self-empowered. I have over 32 years’ experience helping clients/students suffering from anxiety, depression, loss/grief, & relationship issues. My experience also includes teaching all levels of psychology, supervising therapists, and helping people deal with life's transitions. Remember, our sessions will be 'tailor-made' to meet your wants and needs. And, to help me fulfill my promise to you of 'tailor-made sessions,' I adhere to the following mandate of Carl Gustav Jung: "Know your theories well - then place them on the shelf when in a room with the miracle of a human soul." Problems that we cannot 'solve,' together we WILL 'manage.' Phone call inquiries guarantee a response because I check my voicemail frequently. Emails - not as quickly. Please inquire about my sliding scale fee to meet your financial needs.

Many of the people I work with are Black, Indigenous, and people of color (BIPOC) who are struggling to navigate multiple areas of their life like work, school, family, relationships, or the intersectionalities of their identities. Many talk about often feeling overwhelmed, stressed, or stuck. This then kicks off to what feels like a never ending cycle of confusion, frustration, depression, and anxiety. Therapy is an opportunity to find clarity and work through these obstacles to help people get their life back on track. My clients and I work together to develop more mindful behaviors to help lead a more meaningful and healthy life. People develop certain attitudes and perspectives based on their early life experiences to survive when they were younger. But these attitudes and perspectives are not helping now which is part of the reason why people might feel stuck. By looking at these attitudes and perspectives closely, people can learn to change how they talk to themselves, how they react to their emotions. and take more thoughtful actions to move forward towards a more authentic and fulfilling life. My practice integrates several evidence-based treatments such as Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy for Psychosis (CBTp), Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Mindfulness, and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) that encompasses principles of person-centered, recovery-oriented, trauma-informed, multiculturalism, and strength-based values. With my compassionate, collaborative, non-judgmental, and down-to-earth style, therapy can address the things that are getting in the way of people’s life so that they can move forward. COMMON EXPERIENCES THAT I WORK WITH PEOPLE ON: - It feels like your mind is playing tricks on you - It feels like your eyes or ears are playing tricks on you - It feels like something odd is going on or hard to explain - Confused at times whether something is real or imaginary - You feel suspicious or mistrustful of others - It feels like you have little control over your thoughts - It feels like others can hear your thoughts or read your mind - Having thoughts or beliefs that you or others find strange - Race-related identity, culture, and intersectionality - Cultural and systemic trauma and oppression

Welcome! Today is a really big day for you. You have made a decision to make a change in your life for the better. You are to be congratulated and supported for this. I bet it wasn't easy getting here. Making these changes can get very complicated along the way. Are you ready to take the necessary steps to be the change you are looking for? Do you want to exceed your own expectations in your life? Are you focused, humble and willing to consider the thoughtful input of others in order to achieve your goals? If your answer is "yes" to these questions - then let's begin! One thing to consider... nothing changes if nothing changes. The way we live our lives is completely based on the way we perceive it. This statement is the bedrock foundation of my counseling practice. With each area of assistance I offer, the rewards of mindfulness, empowerment and ultimately self-realization are the goals to be pursued. Everything we do in our life IS a choice. We can choose to be empowered or not.

Psychotherapy is a profoundly personal and individualized process. It can foster a deeper understanding of self and others, promote healing and resilience, increase coping skills, change behaviors, instill hope, create meaning, and help individuals live their lives in more emotionally honest, authentic, and relationally connected ways. At the heart of the therapeutic process is a collaborative working relationship between therapist and client, and the best outcomes are achieved when there is a feeling of connection and understanding between the two. Continually attending to the fit between therapist and client is important in establishing a relationship that has the strength and ability to explore difficult experiences and the impact of those experiences on clients’ lives. Dr. Kapadia approaches the work with both curiosity and compassion, tailoring the treatment to the individual and using an integrative approach to meet each person’s needs. She draws from a variety of therapeutic orientations, including interpersonal, psychodynamic, family systems, and affect regulation models (cognitive-behavioral and dialectical behavior therapies).

The therapeutic connection is a huge part of successful therapy, so my work is first and foremost relational in nature, through which I help you define your goals and together develop a plan to meet them.
