Getting to know Maheen Chranya

Hi, I’m Maheen. I’m an LMSW providing trauma-informed, culturally responsive therapy to adults navigating anxiety, identity, relationships, family dynamics, grief, and life transitions. I believe therapy works best when you don't have to leave parts of yourself at the door, including your culture, family, faith, relationships, or the experiences that have shaped how you move through the world.

What should a new client know about working with you?

I want therapy to feel like a space where you can speak honestly and feel understood without worrying about saying the "right" thing. My approach is curious and collaborative. I listen closely, ask questions, and help you make connections between what you're experiencing now and the relationships, expectations, and experiences that may be shaping it. I won't assume I know what matters to you simply because of your background or identity; we'll figure that out together.

What is your typical process for working with clients?

Our first few sessions are about getting to know you beyond the reason that brought you to therapy. We start with intake and we talk about what's happening now, what you want to change, and the relationships, experiences, and environments that have shaped you along the way. From there, we'll identify goals together and use our sessions to work through current concerns, recognize recurring patterns, develop new ways of coping, and pay attention to what's actually changing outside of therapy. I regularly check in about what's working and what isn't. As your needs change, our work can change with them. Ultimately, my goal is for you to leave our sessions with a clearer understanding of yourself and greater confidence in navigating what's in front of you.
