Never Worry Alone Counseling was born out of a need to serve South Asian and other first-generation immigrant clients.
Meet Your Therapist
DISHA JOSHI, LMHC (MA & NY)
Welcome! I’m Disha and I am a fully licensed virtual therapist in both Massachusetts and New York. I’m a first-generation Indian-American woman. My cultural background deeply informs the work I do and the reason why I do it. I’m excited to share in yours!
The most important part of therapy is the relationship between provider and client. My goal is to offer a warm, non-judgmental space, where you can show up authentically.
What therapy with me looks like
I believe therapy should be a collaborative process. I use a compassionate, culturalIy-informed approach, which gently challenges you, all with the goal of increasing resilience, self-esteem and self-awareness. I am trained in Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT) and hold a Level 1 certificate in Internal Family Systems (IFS).
My ideal client tends to be one who is goal-oriented and motivated for change. I serve adult (18+) clients who fall under a variety of cultural/ethnic backgrounds, gender/sexual identities, and stages of life.
Whether you are a seasoned therapy veteran, a curious newcomer, or anyone else in between, I am excited to be a part of your healing journey!
What is Internal Family Systems? (IFS)
IFS is an evidence-based psychotherapy that views the human mind as a system of distinct “parts” or sub-personalities. Developed by Dr. Richard Schwartz, it aims to help individuals identify these parts, understand their protective or wounded roles, and heal them through a compassionate, core "Self."
Have you ever watched Inside Out? Then you are already familiar with the idea of “parts work.” Here is a resource if you are curious about what IFS looks like:
What is Dialectical Behavioral Therapy? (DBT)
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) is a form of cognitive behavioral therapy developed by psychologist Marsha Linehan in the 1980s. It specifically helps people who experience and process emotions very intensely. The core goal is to teach practical skills to manage distress, regulate emotions, and build a fulfilling life.
DBT balances two main concepts: acceptance (learning to accept yourself and your current situation) and change (learning to modify unhealthy behaviors and thought patterns).
