About Event

About Event

Join us for an open and accessible conversation on mental health and therapy, led by Shilpa Shah, LMHC. This session will introduce the basics of mental health, common challenges in seeking care, and practical tools for building resilience and self-care. We’ll also explore what therapy is (and isn’t), how to find the right therapist, and ways to navigate cultural and social stigmas around mental health. Whether you’re completely new to therapy or simply curious about different approaches, this session is designed to provide a safe, supportive space for learning and connection. Shilpa Shah, LMHC, is a licensed psychotherapist in NY and FL and the founder of Woodrose Counseling. As a second-generation South Asian American, she understands the unique challenges of balancing cultural expectations with personal well-being. Shilpa specializes in working with professionals navigating anxiety, depression, and burnout, offering a culturally informed and personalized approach to care. She views therapy as a collaborative space for reflection, healing, and moving toward meaningful goals. Drawing from psychodynamic therapy, person-centered therapy, and cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), Shilpa helps clients build self-awareness, find clarity, and create lasting, sustainable change in their lives.
