Shobha Ayyappan

MA, LPC

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor and have over 20 years of experience helping children, adolescents, individuals, couples and families lead healthier and more rewarding lives. My skills and expertise can help you tackle your emotional, behavioral, or professional challenges, strengthen your innate abilities, and help you achieve your goals.

I am a TEAM-CBT Level 1 Certified Therapist by Dr. David Burns Feeling Good Institute and often use his techniques to help clients with their mental health issues. I believe in creating a safe and nurturing environment by providing empathy, unconditional positive regard, and being genuine which can help you decrease despair and increase healing and wellness.

Currently, I am only doing teletherapy due to the pandemic and take some insurances and also do private pay. As the world becomes safer, I am open to doing face-to-face in the office and also occasional walk and talk therapy.

I use the Simple Practice app for teletherapy and will send you a link that is HIPAA compliant before each telehealth session.
