Khushbu Modh
Clinical Director
With more than ten years of experience in the field, I’ve seen first hand how therapy, mindfulness training, DBT and CBT can change a person’s life. Helping people to learn, grow, overcome or manage anxiety, and improve their mental health has been my privilege since finishing grad school more than a decade ago.
I always knew I wanted to help people, and I’ve learned that the best way is to meet a person where they are, listen intently, and help them on their own unique path. I remember this with every client I serve. My job is help you find what works for you and work with you to clear any obstacles that stand between you and your goals.
Therapy is a journey that can profoundly impact a person’s life. If you’re ready to see where it can take you, I’m ready to be there with you, supporting and guiding you along the way.
