“I didn't think therapy could make such a big difference until I started working with Raneem. She creates a space where I can totally be myself, even when I'm struggling. She doesn't just listen-she helps me connect dots I hadn't noticed before. Her support has helped me build healthier habits and navigate tough situations with way more clarity. I always walk out of our sessions feeling more grounded and hopeful.”

Getting to know Raneem Chawa

PLEASE REVIEW INSURANCE SECTION PRIOR TO BOOKING --------------------- I have a passion for mental health wellness and creating a safe, empathetic space for others. I am continuously pursuing my goals and values, and it has been my pleasure to support others in their own growth and fulfillment. Having lived in different cities, I have developed a multicultural perspective. I graduated high school in Dubai, United Arab Emirates, earned my BA in Psychology from the American University of Beirut, and later worked as an Applied Behavioral Analyst at a Learning Difficulties Clinic in Dubai for three years. I then completed my Master’s in Counseling for Mental Health and Wellness at NYU and have been working as a mental health therapist ever since. I believe the therapeutic relationship is of utmost importance. Throughout our work, I check in regularly to review progress and adjust goals. I see my clients as fellow travelers on the journey of life, and I am intentional in connecting with them through its challenges. My approach integrates Rational Emotive Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Reality Therapy, Relational Therapy, Behavioral Therapy, and Psychodynamic Theory. I also incorporate Bibliotherapy, using books as a tool for reflection and growth. I draw from these frameworks to foster meaningful change. Through my experience, I have developed into a trauma-informed, culturally competent therapist. Please feel free to reach out for a free 15-minute consultation. The best way to determine if we are a good fit is to have an open conversation about it.

Raneem is compassionate, thoughtful, and truly listens. She helped me gain new perspective and feel more in control of my emotions.
Raneem helps me work through things that come up for me Since beginning sessions with Raneem my confidence has grown significantly Raneem has helped me reframe a lot of my limiting beliefs I feel better after each session and would recommend her as a therapist I feel comfortable sharing my experiences with her
I always see them as opportunities for learning, validation, and deeper understanding. I feel truly grateful for each conversation, surrounded by a sense of love and appreciation. Working with Raneem makes me feel safe and secure, and I can sense my own growth within the waves of life.
Professional, understanding, and incredibly skilled. Raneem creates a warm and non-judgmental space that fosters growth and healing. A truly exceptional experience
She was very kind, patient, and attentive.
My visits with Raneem have been transformational for me. She is remarkable in her ability to tactfully guide me through complex emotions and challenging situations, and is reliably able to lead me to a more grounded state of mind. Throughout our sessions I have learned so much about myself and found peace with experiences I never thought possible to reconcile. The personal growth I've achieved through our work together has positively impacted both my relationships and professional life. Reaching out to her has been one of the luckiest and best decisions I have made.
Raneem is one of the most competent and brilliant clinicians I've ever had the pleasure of working with. She makes you feel comfortable from the very start with her warm and genuine approach. If you are looking for a transformative experience, I cannot recommend her enough.
Despite being hesitant to start therapy, I found my experience with Raneem Chawa very warm and rewarding. She is clearly very skilled at creating safety in the relationship because I felt comfortable and validated sharing sensitive information, and then relieved that she used the space to challenge me in the ways I needed it the most. Raneem takes a collaborative stance in whcih she discusses goals and treatment plan with me so that we are both aligned on the purpose of the session and what we are ultimately working to get out of therapy. I have tried therapy before, and I can confidently say that I think Raneem is exceptionally good at what she does and is very culturally competent and passionate about the services she offers. I highly recmmend working with her.
