“Rhea is honestly such an amazing person, and an even better therapist. From our first session to even now, I feel supported and heard. She is great at helping you navigate your troubles and break down the problem until you find it's core. She will help you explore the problem and understand what it is and how it impacts you. I have learnt so much about myself by working with her, and have been able to truly make progress with my mental health. With Rhea, I've found strategies to issues I've struggled with for years. I am at a place where I am content with my life, and I feel normal for once. I am not plagued by the issues that used to haunt me and impact my daily life. In fact, I've noticed that my physical health has improved drastically as a result of my mental health improving. Rhea is truly one of the best therapists I've ever had the honor of working with. I cherish her knowledge, and I will always be grateful for her immense help.”

Getting to know Rhea Thakur
I am a MHC-LP therapist dedicated to supporting adults and young adults as they navigate life transitions, stress, and emotional challenges. I completed my bachelor’s degree in Psychology at Newcastle University in the U.K., and my master’s in Mental Health Counseling at Fordham University. With a background in psychology and counseling, I bring both academic training and hands-on experience to create a safe and collaborative therapeutic space.
My clinical focus includes anxiety, depression, college adjustment, multicultural concerns, relationship and family dynamics, identity exploration. I am passionate about supporting marginalized communities, making mental health care more accessible, and reducing the stigma that often surrounds it.
What should a new client know about working with you?
My style as a therapist is warm, empathetic, and collaborative. I strive to meet you where you’re at, creating a safe and nonjudgmental space where you feel supported and understood. While therapy can be challenging, I also believe in incorporating humor when it feels right, to make the process more comfortable and human.
As a South Asian immigrant, I understand the importance of cultural sensitivity and the unique experiences clients may bring into the room. I value each person’s story and work to honor your background and identity throughout our sessions.
In terms of approach, I use an integrative framework that combines Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Internal Family Systems (IFS), Somatic Therapy, and Person-Centered Therapy. This allows me to tailor therapy to your individual needs, ensuring that our work together feels both flexible and meaningful.
What is your typical process for working with clients?
*I offer Free 15 Min Consultation Calls to all New Clients. By booking on Zocdoc, you would be booking the Free 15 Min Consultation Call.*
In our first sessions, I conduct a comprehensive intake to get a full understanding of not only your symptoms but also your history, background, and the unique experiences that shape who you are. This helps me see the bigger picture and understand how to best support you.
I take a non-pathologizing approach, using diagnosis as a helpful framework rather than a label. Sometimes therapy is about having someone truly listen, sometimes it’s about noticing patterns you hadn’t seen before, and other times it’s about discovering more about yourself. My goal is to create a safe, supportive space where you feel heard, understood, and empowered to live in alignment with your most authentic self. Throughout our work together, I keep the process collaborative and tailor treatment around your personal goals, so therapy always feels meaningful and aligned with what you want to achieve.

I had a great experience working with Rhea! She turned our sessions into a rare safe space from my day-to-day life. She listens carefully and asks questions that actually get me to think about myself more deeply. Appreciate everything you've done for me.

I highly recommend Rhea because their approach to therapy is excellent. I'm grateful that each session felt like I was making an improvement through light hearted open communication. I felt better after each session having learned something new about myself and I would be glad to have them as my therapist again. Rhea was very patient with me and I appreciate the experience because months later I'm doing much better.

Rhea was and still is the most thoughtful, caring therapist I've worked with. She listens to me and actually hears me - she made me feel seen in a long time.

Rhea is just amazing. From our 1st session, she created a warm inviting space for me to feel heard and not judged. She has played such a big role in my journey and I could not be more grateful.
