You’re here because life is tough to navigate sometimes. I can help.
Aastha Gautam, MA, LCPC, LPCC
I’m a licensed therapist and consultant who believes that with the right support, you can feel better.
Starting something new can feel daunting and downright scary at times - I understand the gravity that can come with starting therapy or reaching out for support. I want you to know that I strive to create a therapeutic environment that I myself would want: care that is non-judgemental and based in safety & support. I specialize in:
Attachment Therapy
Somatic Therapy
IFS-informed Therapy
Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy
Psychodynamic Therapy
I am licensed to practice therapy in the state of Maryland and I provide consultations worldwide. If you feel that we would be a good fit, please reach out!
