About

Jaya uses a holistic approach weaving aspects of the mind, body, spirit through Decolonial, Liberation, and Somatic based practices. Her background in Cognitive Psychology, Social Work, Nutrition, Mindfulness, and Somatics support in creating a space that is responsive to each client's needs for deep healing that is practical and socially conscious. Her range of specialties include navigating trauma, oppression, chronic pain/illness, eating disorders, anxiety, OCD, and more. Jaya also provides niche services for covid cautious affirming care, embodying decolonial practices, and queer, BIPOC, or interracial relationship therapy. Jaya does not view clients as needing to be fixed, but benefiting from a space with genuine community and care because she believes people’s capacity for healing expands with the power of connectedness.

Message to clients

We often don’t choose our environments or our life experiences. Consciously or unconsciously, they create impressions on our mind, body, and spirit which shape our beliefs, behaviors, and thought patterns- these sometimes look like mental health challenges. We can choose to grow in ways that better align with you, while attenuating impressions that no longer serve your well-being. I share a space of deep compassion, genuine connection, and active engagement as a therapist. My knowledge and wisdom aid me as your guide and anchor. Authentic and safe connection is the working space for transformative change because when we feel held, we are at our most open state. You are not just one client in a sea of many to me. You are an important part of my community.

Georgie Kelly, LPCC

Jaya is an amazing human being, and beyond that a fantastic therapist. She has a knack for finding deep insights when someone is talking with her, and she shares those insights with empathy and compassion. Jaya is truly an anti-oppression, decolonizing therapist, and she is so dedicated to those values and actions both within and outside the therapy room. I personally know Jaya to be extremely trustworthy, and she constantly reminds me to live with self-compassion as a practice, rather than a concept to leave on the shelf.

Anjou Parekh, LPCC

Jaya is compassionate, intelligent, and committed to social justice. Jaya is an excellent listener with the right balance of intuition and analytical observation, which helps her to support clients in their needs and meet them where they are.

Their ability to meet clients where they are while fostering meaningful growth makes them an excellent choice for anyone seeking therapy.
