About the founder
Nirmala Bijraj
LMHC, NCC, She/Her/Hers
Nirmala is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor in New York and Florida. With over a decade of experience, her therapeutic approach is eclectic drawing from different theories and modalities which centers on what works best for the client. She has a lot of experience to draw from, having worked for hospitals, non-profits and private practice in the past.
She is an immigrant who moved from Guyana, South America to Toronto, Canada, then to Queens, New York before relocating to Orlando, FL and credits these life experiences to being able to navigate, connect, communicate, and build relationships with different people which highly informs her clinical work now. She now works primarily with adults navigating how to improve communication in their daily lives specializing in working with polyamory, open and non-monogamous relationships.
Land Acknowledgement
We wish to acknowledge and honor the Indigenous communities native to the regions we practice in including various Tribes, Nations, and Peoples.
We thank the Indigenous Peoples for stewarding these Lands for generations. We pay respect to the Elders, past, present, and future. We are grateful for the opportunity to work here and we thank all the generations of people who have taken care of this land – for thousands of years.
As a community we consider our roles in the liberation, and restoration of Land, language, and culture for Indigenous Peoples globally. We also invite thoughts and comments regarding this statement, especially if there’s any supplemental information that should be included.
