Palak Amal

Advanced Clinical Resident

Are you feeling overwhelmed by life's challenges and need a supportive ally to help you navigate them? Are you longing for a safe and affirming space to explore your thoughts, feelings, and identity without fear of judgment? Together, we can embark on a path of self-discovery and empowerment.


In my practice, I cultivate a warm and non-judgmental environment where everyone feels valued and respected. Drawing from a diverse range of therapeutic modalities including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Mindfulness, and Humanistic approaches, I tailor my approach to focus on your strengths & meet your unique needs.


Fluent in both English, Hindi, and Gujarati, I am committed to providing culturally sensitive and inclusive therapy. I acknowledge the profound impact of trauma on individuals and strive to promote social justice within my practice. Embracing a multicultural perspective, I honor the richness of each individual's background and experiences.


Currently pursuing a Masters in Counseling for Mental Health & Wellness at NYU and under the clinical supervision of Odile McKenzie, LCSW, I am here to support you through your challenges and triumphs. Whether you're facing career obstacles, navigating interpersonal relationships, or seeking personal growth, I am here to support you with compassion.


If you're ready to embark on a journey of self-discovery and healing, I invite you to take the first steps with me. Together, we can celebrate your strengths, and explore your authentic self. Your story is significant, and I am honored to be a part of your journey towards wholeness.
