Getting to know Shobha Ayyappan

Shobha Ayyappan is a “Licensed Professional Counselor" and their license number is (37PC00595000) Welcome, I’m glad you’re here. Beginning therapy is a courageous step, and I believe that having a safe, supportive space to talk can make a meaningful difference. My approach is individualized, warm, collaborative, and practical. I view therapy as a partnership where we work together to uncover patterns, build self-awareness and strengthen coping skills. I help you to tackle your emotional, behavioral, or professional challenges, strengthen your innate abilities, and help you achieve your goals. I have over 25 years of experience helping children, adolescents, adults and senior citizens lead healthier and more rewarding lives. I work with teens and adults who are facing challenges such as anxiety, depression, stress, grief and loss, life transitions, habits and addictions and relationship difficulties. I also provide career counseling and work with diverse, multi-cultural clients. Whether you’re seeking support through a difficult time or hoping to deepen your self-understanding, I tailor therapy using an individualized approach to suit your unique needs and goals.

What should a new client know about working with you?

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in New Jersey with a Master’s degree in Counseling from University of Nebraska. My training includes Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Solution Focused Therapy and Mindfulness-based approaches. I attend trainings and stay engaged with ongoing professional development through various networks. Individual therapy for teens and adults is offered both in-person in my Maplewood office and telehealth for clients across New Jersey. Sessions typically last 45-60 minutes and are tailored to your pace and priorities. Taking the first step toward therapy can feel overwhelming, but you don’t have to do it alone. I look forward to the possibility of working together.
