“I have been to many different therapists and practices and so far I have had the easiest adjustment with this practice, you can tell they care. My therapist, Hanesha Persaud is so warm and easy to talk to. I really enjoy her different approach to things going on in my life. I love that she brings up things I have said in past visits and really truly shows how much she listens and cares. Thank you.”

Getting to know Hanesha Persaud
Hanesha Persaud is a deeply compassionate mental health counselor who prioritizes building a foundation of trust, respect, and authenticity. Hanesha fosters a non-judgmental space in every session that honors each individual's unique experiences, identities, and emotions. She listens not just to words, but to what is unsaid?the pauses, the tension, the subtle shifts in expression. With deep empathy and unwavering respect, she works to understand and to ask the kind of questions that lead inward, toward insight, clarity, and change. Grounded in both knowledge and intuition, Hanesha draws from evidence-based tools, but never forgets the deeply human side of her work. She creates a space where vulnerability is safe, where shame begins to dissolve, and where transformation is made possible.
Hanesha earned her Master's in Applied Behavior Psychology from St. Francis College, which informs her integrative approach to mental health counseling. She believes that each person's journey is unique?and healing isn't one-size-fits-all. She draws from a range of evidence-based modalities, including cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), psychodynamic insight, and person-centered techniques, tailoring her work to fit your needs, your goals, and your pace. Whether you're navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship struggles, self-esteem challenges, or simply feeling stuck, Hanesha strives to create a warm, collaborative space where you feel safe, supported, and empowered. Her goal is to meet you wherever you are and walk beside you with curiosity, compassion, and respect.
What should a new client know about working with you?
Hanesha earned her Master of Arts in Applied Behavioral Psychology from St. Francis College and her Certificate of Advanced Study in Mental Health Counseling from Alfred University. She is here to help you make meaning of your experiences, rediscover your strength, clarify your path, and reconnect with the parts of yourself you may have forgotten or buried. Hanesha's work is ultimately rooted in the belief that even in the midst of pain or uncertainty, people hold the strength to adapt, heal, and transform. Her work is focused around human connection, dignity, and the quiet power of showing up for others, exactly as they are.
