Getting to know Suraiya Choudhury

I’m a licensed therapist based in New York with over seven years of experience supporting individuals through challenges like OCD, anxiety, and life transitions. I specialize in Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) therapy and offer a culturally sensitive space. My approach is collaborative, evidence-based, and grounded in compassion. My approach My approach to care is warm, collaborative, and tailored to each individual. I believe in building a strong therapeutic relationship where you feel heard, understood, and empowered to face challenges. Using evidence-based methods like ERP for OCD and CBT for anxiety and mood concerns, I help clients gradually confront what’s holding them back while building resilience and self-compassion. I also integrate cultural and faith-based perspectives when relevant, so your full identity is honored in the healing process. My focus I work best with individuals who are ready to understand themselves more deeply and make meaningful changes in their lives. I specialize in working with adults struggling with OCD, anxiety, and perfectionism, as well as those navigating identity, faith, or cultural stressors, especially within the South Asian and Muslim communities. Whether you’re battling intrusive thoughts or feeling stuck between worlds, I’m here to help you find clarity, confidence, and a sense of peace grounded in who you truly are. My communication style My communication style is warm, direct, and supportive. I create a space where you can feel safe being yourself while also feeling gently challenged to grow. I’ll be honest with you, ask thoughtful questions, and offer reflections that help you gain new insights, always with compassion and without judgment. My journey to mental healthcare My journey to becoming a therapist was deeply personal and rooted in both passion and purpose. Growing up in a South Asian Muslim community, I saw firsthand how mental health was often misunderstood, stigmatized, or left unspoken.
