Getting to know Hiteksha Oza

As a dedicated and compassionate therapist with a Master's in Mental Health Counseling from Long Island University Brooklyn, I aim to provide a safe, non-judgmental, and empathetic space where individuals can embark on a journey of self-discovery, growth, and healing. I believe in the power of therapy to facilitate positive change and enhance overall well-being. With deep respect for each client's unique experiences and cultural background, I strive to create a therapeutic alliance built on trust, collaboration, and mutual respect. I am LGBTQIIA+ friendly and committed to fostering a therapeutic environment that encourages open and honest communication, as I firmly believe in the therapeutic value of genuine human connection. I work collaboratively with my clients to identify and address the underlying causes of their challenges. By promoting self-awareness, emotional regulation, and practical skills, I empower individuals to develop healthier coping mechanisms and make positive life changes. I am dedicated to promoting mental health awareness and reducing the stigma associated with seeking help. I create a supportive and inclusive space that embraces diversity in all its forms, valuing cultural humility and actively working to ensure sensitivity to each client's unique needs and background.

What should a new client know about working with you?

I believe in tailoring my approach to meet the client's unique needs and goals. I view therapy as a collaborative journey, where I work together with my clients to explore their concerns, develop insights, and foster personal growth. I strive to create a safe, non-judgmental, and confidential space for clients to express themselves openly. I adhere to the highest standards of professional ethics and confidentiality. Client's privacy and trust are of utmost importance to me, and I will always maintain the confidentiality of our sessions within the boundaries of legal and ethical obligations. I am committed to providing a respectful, compassionate, and culturally sensitive therapeutic environment. I use ACT, psychodynamic and CTB approaches. I value diversity and will work with each client to honor their individuality and experiences. My primary goal in therapy is to support the client's well-being and help them achieve their desired outcomes. Whether they seek relief from specific symptoms, personal growth, or a deeper understanding of themselves, I am here to support them throughout their therapeutic journey. It is important to note that therapy is a collaborative process, and your active participation, honesty, and openness are key to our progress.

What is your typical process for working with clients?

In the first session I will complete an intake assessment to gather as much information to better assess and get to know you, your history, and what concerns have brought you to therapy and therefore set up goals. The following sessions, we will engage in talk therapy while pulling from various modalities to help you achieve your goals. Our sessions are 45 min in length on a weekly basis. Please allow 15 minutes before the session to do the intake paperwork. I PROVIDE PSYCHOTHERAPY SERVICES ONLY; PLEASE NOTE I DON’T PROVIDE MEDICATION MANAGEMENT SERVICES.

Just make sure you choose someone who can clearly communicate with you and listens with no bias and the intent to understand rather than just responding.

Extremely unprofessional steer clear of this doctor at all costs! She will agree to have you as a patient to take your insurance money and then she will not show up for any appointments continuing to take money from my insurance and not see me as a patient . ? she causes me great mental anguish and financial anguish. I would be better off if I never met this therapist
