“Found my session with Sahana extremely helpful. She is a great listener. Her warmth made me feel comfortable to share. Highly recommend!”
APLess than 1 year ago
“Sahana made me feel very comfortable and safe. She’s very easy to speak to, and she listened to me with a lot of empathy. She asks very insightful and probing questions and helped me stop ruminative thinking in the session, and helped me focus on digging deeper and identifying my patterns. She creates a very relaxed and non-judgemental sharing space, and she allowed for me to get all my thoughts out, before she helped me make sense of some of my patterns. I strongly recommend her! ”

Getting to know Sahana Sriram
I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor in New York with four years of experience. I work with individuals and couples to navigate career development, relational issues, depression, anxiety, attention deficit, stress, trauma, and challenges with body image. I especially enjoy working with international students and people of color, helping them navigate the ineffective systems and barriers they face while creating connection and excellence in their lives. As an Indian, immigrant, bisexual, neurodivergent woman, I bring a personal understanding to my work. I completed my MA and MEd in Counseling Psychology from Columbia University.
What should a new client know about working with you?
My main goal is to empower you to reconnect with your true self, understand your emotions, and find your own path toward healing. We'll explore your feelings and experiences in a safe, non-judgmental way, helping you build curiosity, compassion, and the confidence to navigate challenges and create better relationships. Together, we'll focus on the moments of growth and transformation that happen in our work, and I'll guide you in turning those moments into lasting change.
My approach combines different techniques, like AEDP (which focuses on emotional growth and transformation), Internal Family Systems (IFS), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Narrative Therapy, and Art Therapy. I bring in a mix of learning, creativity, and practical tools to help you make lasting changes.
What is your typical process for working with clients?
I use Headway for my billing and scheduling with clients. We will be using that platform when we move forward.

I can’t recommend Sahana enough! From my very first session, she really understood what I needed and made me feel comfortable right away. She’s an amazing listener and always creates a safe, supportive space where I feel truly heard. You can tell she’s incredibly dedicated—she shows up fully present, remembers the details, and really puts in the effort to help you grow and heal. It’s clear she genuinely cares and wants to help.

As an immigrant navigating life and work in the United States, it was important that I found a deep sense of cultural connection and familiarity with my professional. Sahana provides that and more; often helping me make sense of things in culturally resonant ways. I truly feel heard during my conversations with Sahana, which has been crucial for internal validation for me.

Sahana is a great listener and provides amazing insight and feedback, helping me see things in different perspectives. I would recommend her for anyone who is seeking out therapy, she makes it very obvious that she cares deeply about your well-being.

Sahana is smart and emotionally intelligent. Every time we speak, I walk away with a new perspective about my situation and feel hope. I have made strides (emotionally) over the past year and resolved a few situations where I previously felt there was no way out. I wish everyone seeking it, is fortunate to have a therapist and counselor like her. Best wishes .

I came to Sahana for help with my relationship with my husband. She is wise beyond her years, her care is so endless, impartial towards both party members and is very effective with navigating what we want to express, even during heighten emotional times.
Many times, she has helped interpret thoughts and emotions that were not understood by one or the other member of the relationship in a very clear and gentle manner.
Sahana will offer what I call homework to help build patience, empathy, respect for others boundaries. Those are just the first few things that came to mind.
She is also very keen on cultural influences that affects behaviors. Culture and personal history is heavily considered when Sahana listens closely and helps us understand our struggles and challenges these struggles with suggested solutions.
She utilizes many different therapeutic approaches and if one form doesn’t seem to work for you, she will try another.
I cannot say enough praise, she is wonderful!

I came to Sahana for help with my relationship with my husband. She is wise beyond her years and her kindness is endless. She listens attentively and is so genuinely concerned when she sees us struggling. Sahana is also very impartial with either party members of the relationship and has a way of interpreting our thoughts and emotions in a very clear and gentle manner.
Sahana takes cultural influences and personal history into consideration when helping us navigate the struggles we face while challenging those struggles with various therapeutic approaches. If one doesn’t seem effective for you, she will introduce another approach.
She has tasked us with what I call “therapy homework” to help build our patience, understanding, empathy and respect for other’s boundaries. During our sessions, she also showed us ways to bring ourselves back to the present when in highly stressful situations.
Sahana has a goal of helping us build ourselves as well as our community. She is so wonderful!
