Hajra Kalam

I offer online therapy in both English and Hindi, creating a flexible and accessible space for people navigating life transitions, emotional pain or cultural disconnection. My approach is warm, compassionate, humorous, and rooted in collaboration and trust. I'll meet you where you are, and together we'll explore what's keeping you stuck, overwhelmed, or disconnected. Therapy is a process where you should feel trust and safety to fully understand yourself. That's what I aim to offer in every session. I integrate a range of evidence-based therapies, including CBT, Schema Therapy, Psychodynamic Therapy, DBT, and Mindfulness-Based approaches. I tailor our work to what you need most, while guiding you and keeping you informed throughout the process. This means we will work together to help you process past pain, understand intrusive patterns, learn emotional regulation tools and reconnect with parts of yourself that have felt silenced or lost. Clients describe therapy with me as non-judgmental, affirming, and gently challenging. I work with adults from all walks of life, but especially LGBTQ+ clients, expats and people from conservative or bicultural backgrounds.
