Bindi Shah

I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor, and a qualified supervisor for mental health registered interns. My therapeutic approach is humanistic and strength -based, where my clients are received as whole persons with respect, integrity, and positive regard. I have vast experience in correctional institution setting, hospital settings, transitional housing, schools, community agencies, and private fields. My role as a counselor over the past 10 years has allowed me to see the resiliency in my clients, and help them access their own strengths and value. In my practice, I form a positive, therapeutic relationship with my clients which allows them to feel safe, and accepted. My counseling work involves helping clients identify hurtful thoughts and replacing them, realizing their own resources, and strengths, and how to use them when faced with problems. I value you, your story, and your ability to heal. My counseling work is transformative, empowering, educational, and nurturing.

I am very passionate about diversity, and celebrating cultural diversity. I believe in the importance of our cultural identity, and how systemic injustice can affect our wellness, and thus can not be ignored. It is important for me to be culturally and socially aware and an advocate for social justice issues in our community and globally.
