Our Team
Priyanka Ramesh, MA, LPC
Psychotherapist
“Ultimately, you are your own greatest resource and your most valuable companion in life.”
I believe that all human behaviors serve a purpose and why we do what we do is something that never ceases to amaze me. Sometimes we struggle to tell the difference between what we can and cannot control but with our limitless potential for insight and awareness into our actions, we can always decide how to respond to life's challenges. I am dedicated to helping you understand and replace any behaviors that are getting in the way of living an authentic and fulfilling life.
I earned my Master’s Degree in Counseling from The College of New Jersey (TCNJ) and completed my fieldwork at the TCNJ clinic where I counseled adults of all ages. Since then I have gained experience working in different clinical settingswith exposure to various conditions ranging from anxiety, depression, mood and personality disorders, toaddictions. My experiences have taught me how transformative listening and being present with another can truly be. I am trained in multiple therapeutic approaches. I am drawn to cognitive behavioral approaches, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Internal Family Systems,and Motivational Interviewing. However, I place the greatest emphasis on the therapeutic relationship between me and my client. It is genuinely through that vehicle, that I have seen the most change.
My areas of expertise are anxiety disorders, especially OCD and body focused repetitive behaviors. As someone with OCD, all I can really say is, I get it. I also enjoy helping people navigate relationships and will always encourage you to own and express your truth in healthy ways!
In my free time, I indulge my need for constant learning by watching a lot of documentaries, listening to podcasts, and reading. When I'm not craving alone time, I like to cook and relax with my husband and spoil my cat, Emmett. I look forward to the strides we can make and I feel honored to be a part of your journey.
