Getting to know Aaksha Shah
*Medicaid and medicare plans are not accepted (NYSHIP as well)
Aaksha is a culturally competent psychotherapist who provides virtual psychotherapy for individuals and couples. After graduating from Hofstra University with a Master’s in Mental Health Counseling, she works with clients across age groups and has experience supporting individuals navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, self-discovery and relationship challenges. Aaksha focuses on creating a compassionate and collaborative space in which clients can show up exactly as they are, without judgement or pressure. She aims to offer a variety of interventions to assist clients in reaching their therapeutic goals.
What should a new client know about working with you?
My approach to therapy is tailored to your unique needs, goals, and pace. I see therapy as a partnership where we build insight and develop practical tools that you can use in everyday life. My goal is to strengthen your ability to trust yourself and move forward with more clarity and confidence. I have experience working with challenges related to anxiety, depression, stress, trauma, and interpersonal relationships.
What is your typical process for working with clients?
I use evidence-based approaches such as Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Dialectical Behavioural Therapy, and mindfulness based interventions to address goals. We’ll work together to identify unhelpful patterns and develop practical strategies that promote growth, self-awareness, and emotional balance. I strive to create a space where clients feel heard, supported, and empowered to actively participate in their therapeutic journey.

I was made very comfortable and was heard patiently reducing my anxiety on such visits. Our discussion was not opinionated so I wasat ease .
Also professional handling and patience are virtues that all do not posses and vary from individual to individual.
Best part is the feeling that I feel I am being guided to manage within the real of my being and not as per someone elses oppinion
