My Approach Transitions in our lives can bring up a lot of different emotions. Some of these emotions can be conflicting if the transition “should” be happy. My work focuses on individuals and couples as they navigate through these transitions. There are ways to process it, work through it and allow you to show up authentically for yourself and your relationships. Your emotions are valid and your reactions are safety mechanisms learned through your survival of your experiences. My goal is to help you navigate through these changes, learn about yourself and build a meaningful life.

Struggling with next steps, anxious/depressed thoughts or feelings. I am here to help you.

Hi, I’m Reeti Kumar, and yes, therapy really can make life feel lighter. I’m a Licensed Mental Health Counselor providing virtual therapy in Rhode Island, New York, and Connecticut. I help people get back to living the kind of life they actually want — not just the one they’re pushing through. I love working with college & grad students who are motivated to make changes but maybe feel stuck, overwhelmed, or caught in a loop of overthinking (hi, anxiety and perfectionism). In our sessions, you’ll find a mix of evidence-based techniques including Cognitive Behavior Therapy, (because science works!) and down-to-earth conversations (because we’re both human). I also treat OCD with Exposure and Response Prevention - the gold standard to help you say "No way" to those compulsions making you late to class! I bring in a multicultural lens, helping clients explore their identities, navigate family dynamics, and find balance between culture and expectations. I offer a warm, judgment-free space where you can say what’s really on your mind (yes, even the “weird” thoughts — we all have them). Together, we’ll work on untangling unhelpful thinking patterns and building habits that support a calmer, healthier life.

Life can get really tough sometimes and I think we all need a place to come and just BE REAL with another person. Vent feelings, share thoughts that one is not really comfortable sharing with close friends and family, just lay it all out however messy. ABOUT ME: I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist in both California and New York with over 15 years in the field. I got my Masters degree in Integral Counseling Psychology at California Institute of Integral Studies in San Francisco, CA in 2008. My areas of study was Gestalt Therapy, Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction and Creative Arts Therapy. I believe that finding the right match with a therapist is crucial. It’s like dating, you have to keep looking until you find some chemistry, a click, and feel like the person really gets you. I work primarily with individuals and unfortunately am not accepting couples into my practice at this time. I build resilience by teaching skills to manage anxiety, depression, life's ups and downs, be it learning to be kinder to yourself or learning to manage feelings when relationships change. My style of therapy is warm, compassionate, honest, and direct. I welcome your mess. We can sort through the piles together and see if we can't come out with some gold.

Welcome: My name is Dr. Collins I would love to help you navigate those difficult moments in your life. Please relax, brief, focus on calm. Your Mental Health is most important. "Let's celebrate Love, Faith, Understanding, Improved Communicaton." 941-237-1199
