Please visit my profile to learn more about my services.

I am a clinical psychologist with over 25 years of experience treating eating disorders and body image concerns.

Choosing a therapist and getting started itself can be overwhelming. I believe that treatment must be specific to the person and the problem and be based on a broad array of available clinical modalities and interventions. These interventions are always provided with safe, supportive and professional care. I have over twenty years experience as a psychologist and as a supervisor and trainer of therapists from all of the mental health fields. I head a group private practice with many available resources for adults and children. I am a leader in the field of abuse and trauma as well as sexuality and relationships. Some of my credentials include: Diplomate and Clinical Supervisor of the American Board of Sexology; Diplomate and Certified Sex Therapist of the American Association of Sex Educators, Counselors, and Therapists; and, Master Addiction Counselor by the National Certification Commission for Addiction Professionals.

As a Licensed Master Social Worker, I help children, adolescents, adults, and families navigate anxiety, depression, trauma, ADHD, family dynamics, mood disorders, and life transitions. I value collaboration with families, educators, and care providers to support whole-person healing, ensuring you feel seen, supported, and empowered while building insight, emotional regulation, and resilience. Reach out today to take the first step on your healing journey. My approach is warm, culturally informed, collaborative, and strengths-based, ensuring developmentally attuned and grounded care that honors emotional, relational, and mind–body connections. Working together, you can expect a safe, compassionate, and nonjudgmental environment, with a supportive partner who meets you where you’re at and builds trust through authenticity and compassion. I incorporate Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, psychodynamic therapy, Mindfulness-based care, and creative interventions to help you gain insight and develop practical coping skills. My style is collaborative and flexible, tailored to your unique needs and goals. I look forward to helping you feel empowered, understood, and confident as you work toward growth and balance. My path to becoming a therapist grew from years of working closely with children and families as a nanny, dance teacher, and school-based clinician. These experiences in both clinical and school-based settings deepened my commitment to providing empathetic, developmentally informed care. In my practice now, I bring warmth, creativity, and genuine curiosity to each session, honoring every patient’s unique story. I am also planning to pursue my Doctor of Social Work, reflecting my commitment to ongoing growth, ethical practice, and providing thoughtful, high-quality care to every patient I serve. In both my personal and professional life, I value balance, self-reflection, and creative expression. Outside of therapy, I nurture my mind and body through creative movement, including dance, Pilates, yoga, meditation, mindfulness practices, and journaling. I also enjoy exploring spirituality, tarots, and manifestation for a well-rounded life.

Mindfulness Counseling Services of NY is a holistic counseling practice that offers personalized services to help individuals, couples, and families achieve balance, peace of mind, and emotional well-being. We specialize in providing evidence-based techniques such as mindfulness meditation, cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), trauma-informed care, and holistic approaches. Our mission is to empower individuals through greater self-awareness and improved relationships with themselves and others.

I specializes in helping people who are having difficulty controlling their gambling. Behaviors such as staying up all night gambling, not attending classes or going to work, isolating, gambling until all your money is gone, lying or stealing to get money with which to gamble, chasing your losses, physically hurting yourself, and thoughts of suicide are common among people who have a gambling problem. Recognizing that you have a problem is the first step and asking for help is the second. Please contact me to take the most important step--doing something to stop the pain caused by problem gambling.

You deserve to re-connect with yourself and others. I would be honored to partner with you and support your nervous system in accessing more ease, empowerment, and joy. Maybe you’re carrying the weight of stress or trauma, feeling stuck in cycles of anxiety, or experiencing pain and tension in your body. Or you may be functioning well on the outside, but feeling disconnected from purpose, meaning, or belonging. Whatever brings you here, I'm so glad you've taken this step. I specialize in trauma-informed therapy with a strong foundation in social justice, offering a compassionate space for healing and reconnection. My approach is collaborative and respectful of your inner strengths. Together, we’ll revisit past wounds when necessary, but always with intention and safety; not just to talk, but to heal. I integrate EMDR, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, parts work, mindfulness tools, and somatic approaches to support lasting resilience and emotional clarity. My practice is inclusive, affirming, and grounded in deep respect for all living beings. If you’ve experienced discrimination or systemic harm, I offer a space where your story is seen and honored. Therapy doesn’t have to re-traumatize. It can be a doorway to relief, confidence, and peace. If this sounds like what you need, I’d love to hear from you.

I work collaboratively with young adults, individuals and couples to design personalized pathways for clarity, healing and growth. I offer telehealth appointments for folks in New York and California, and in-person sessions for those in the Hudson Valley. Drawing from an extensive background in psychotherapy, somatic therapy, relational gestalt, creative exploration and mind-body interventions, I tailor sessions to meet each client where they are.

Psychotherapy is a profoundly personal and individualized process. It can foster a deeper understanding of self and others, promote healing and resilience, increase coping skills, change behaviors, instill hope, create meaning, and help individuals live their lives in more emotionally honest, authentic, and relationally connected ways. At the heart of the therapeutic process is a collaborative working relationship between therapist and client, and the best outcomes are achieved when there is a feeling of connection and understanding between the two. Continually attending to the fit between therapist and client is important in establishing a relationship that has the strength and ability to explore difficult experiences and the impact of those experiences on clients’ lives. Dr. Kapadia approaches the work with both curiosity and compassion, tailoring the treatment to the individual and using an integrative approach to meet each person’s needs. She draws from a variety of therapeutic orientations, including interpersonal, psychodynamic, family systems, and affect regulation models (cognitive-behavioral and dialectical behavior therapies).

I’m currently offering both in-person and telemedicine/virtual sessions for new and current clients. If you're looking for a caring, experienced, skilled and respectful therapist, you need look no further. I have years of experience in providing therapy in mental health settings and in private practice. I utilize therapeutic approaches proven to be effective (e.g.: DBT, MI, CBT, PST, Seeking Safety for trauma and substance abuse, etc.). I am known for my ability to connect with my clients in a caring, real, and honest way and I particularly enjoy working with college age students. I have had particular success in treating anxiety, depression, trauma, substance abuse/addiction, and most mental health issues that may impede one's ability to achieve their potential. When needed, I collaborate with psychiatric practitioners in managing medications.

Therapy is about YOU and your goals. Clients come to therapy seeking empathic support but also concrete skills to improve their lives. I provide non-judgmental and thoughtful support for teens and adults managing depression, anxiety, and trauma symptoms that disrupt their lives. Clients are able to find connection in therapy and apply strategies to find more joy throughout their daily relationships with themselves and others. I empower clients to harness their courage in facing past and present losses, traumas, and stressors so that they no longer feel trapped or controlled by their experiences.

I received my Master's in Social Work from New York University's Silver School of Social Work. I have years of experience working with individuals struggling with anxiety, depression, trauma, OCD, eating disorders, as well as different phobias. I am trained in Exposure and Response Prevention therapy (EX/RP), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT).

Are you feeling overwhelmed, sad or anxious? Have you ever felt that you couldn’t share your story with anyone because you feel that they just couldn’t possibly understand or that they would somehow judge you? We all have a story, and often we have to just push it aside just to get through our day until one day we realize that our story has taken over and is now interfering with our daily life. I will work to help you find the right tools to rewrite your story while in a calming nonjudgmental space. We will work towards empowering you to make those positive changes in your life, and together we will help you find your own courage and self-compassion to begin your journey to wellness. I often use an integrative approach which may include Neurofeedback together with traditional therapeutic approaches to provide a holistic experience. My clients typically include those who experience anxiety, depression and are recovering from trauma. As well as those issues common to college students.

Above all, my approach to treatment is compassionate, understanding, and respectful. My goal is to provide a space where you will be heard, understood, and validated while helping you achieve your goals and reach your potential. I believe that every person has the ability find relief form their struggles and live their best life with the right support. My areas of clinical expertise include treatment for depression, anxiety, eating disorders, personality disorders, and trauma related issues. Since each person is unique, you can imagine that there are many different ways to successfully address life's challenges. Therefore, I utilize an integrative approach to therapy that revolves entirely around your needs. In your therapy sessions you can expect a highly-personalized treatment approach that is informed by the latest research in the field. I offer complimentary initial consultations. I welcome the opportunity to learn about your current struggles and share how I can be of help to you.
