Getting to know Guru Shabd Khalsa

I'm a fat-positive, queer therapist who offers a compassionate space for you to explore. I believe therapy should be a gentle place to find your way back to yourself. My approach With deep roots in feminist and attachment-based care, I bring tools, insight, and radical acceptance to support you in becoming your most authentic self. Whether you're navigating identity, relationships, or body image, I'm here to walk beside you with humility, curiosity, and care. My focus I work with individuals and couples navigating anxiety, stress, self-esteem, and the challenges of everyday life. My practice is LGBTQIA+ affirming, fat-positive, and rooted in a deep respect for each client's lived experience. I specialize in supporting clients exploring identity, gender, and sexuality; those in nontraditional relationships. My communication style I take a curious and supportive stance; you are the expert in your experience, and I am here to reflect, support, encourage, and offer accountability. I use humor and empathy. It's important to me to maintain cultural humility in my sessions. My journey to mental healthcare Crystalline Therapy came into being after my own healing journey — a practice shaped by clarity, compassion, and the belief that transformation is always possible. There was a time I wasn't kind to myself, and the path to clarity helped me reconnect with my voice, reclaim who I wanted to be, and ultimately offer that same space of growth and care. My goals for you We will focus on progress, not perfection. I have experience working in the following modalities: Strength-Based, Interpersonal Psychotherapy (IPT), Attachment-Based, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), Cognitive Behavioral (CBT), Relational, Brief Dynamic, Trauma-Focused CBT, Psychodynamic, and Positive Psychology.
