Introduction

Welcome to Shifa Therapy LLC, a space for healing. I'm Shalin (he/him), and I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (NJ and PA), Licensed Clinical Alcohol and Drug Counselor (NJ), and Somatic Experiencing Practitioner. Based in New Jersey, I offer trauma-focused services that center the Global Majority (BIPOC individuals), especially folks within the LGBTQIA+ community across NJ and PA. My goal as your therapist is for you to be seen and understood as you are. No code-switching necessary. Throughout the process, I will invite you with patience and compassion, going at your pace as you build new adaptations towards thriving. My work with my clients integrates body-based approaches, parts work, traditional talk therapy, liberation psychology, as well as the systemic, collective, intergenerational, cultural, and sociopolitical realities that impact our mental health. At this time, all sessions are 100% virtual. To see some of the issues my clients tend to bring into the therapy space, insurance plans I accept in NJ, and to schedule an initial consultation call, scroll down and tap the 'Request Appointment' button below. I look forward to meeting with you.
