Getting to know Meera Kumar

I am a Licensed Social Worker providing psychotherapy. I have completed a Master's in Social Work from the University of Chicago and a Bachelor's in Science from the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor. I have experience working with adults and adolescents facing a variety of challenges, from mental health disorders such as anxiety and depression to life challenges, including relationship issues and difficult transitions. I work with both heterosexual and LGBTQIA+ individuals and welcome all gender identities. I have an eclectic therapy style and use elements of Internal Family Systems (IFS), Dialectic Behavioral Therapy (DBT), and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) in my practice.

What should a new client know about working with you?

I will create a judgment-free space for you to express your struggles, triumphs, and everything in between. I will accompany you on your therapeutic journey, taking the time to understand your perspective and work collaboratively on what feels right for your healing process. As a South Asian who moved from India to the U.S. later in life, I have experienced many successes and challenges as I grew throughout life to accept my individuality and uniqueness.

What is your typical process for working with clients?

I approach therapy from a body-positive, culturally attuned, and LGBTQIA+ affirming perspective. I lead with a multi-cultural perspective while tailoring my therapeutic approach to the needs of each individual client. There may be times when you feel challenged in the therapeutic space, but I will always lead with empathy, compassion, and acceptance of you as your authentic self.
