Hi, I’m Minali Sharma, a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor in Maryland, Connecticut, Vermont and soon to be in Virginia.

I’m drawn to this work both through my own lived experiences and through witnessing how deeply important it is to have a space where you don’t have to hold everything together on your own. I believe healing happens in spaces that feel safe, attuned, and genuinely human where you can show up as you are, without pressure or judgment or pretending to be okay.

I work primarily with women and adults who feel overwhelmed, stuck, or disconnected from themselves. Many of my clients are high-functioning on the outside (they perform really well; take care of everyone , but internally carry a lot (they feel exhausted and empty) often struggle alone.

My approach is grounded in both clinical training and a deep respect for the body’s natural wisdom. Many clients come in unsure of where to start, and I want you to know it is completely normal. It is also common to feel nervous or uncomfortable when meeting a new person and sharing struggles that have been held inside for a long time. You don’t need the right words or to have everything figured out when you begin this process. you just need to show up as you are.

At our core, we all long to feel seen, understood, and accepted. I offer a calm, compassionate space where you can explore your experiences without judgment but with compassion and curiosity.
