Jayshri Balaji, MA, LPC

My clients describe me as:

Warm and non judgmental. You can expect to express yourself freely. With me, therapy won't feel so intimidating

Something to know about my approach is:

I use a process called Somatic Experiencing. This can help retrain your body's response to traumatic memories. I use Internal Family Systems and Brainspotting where I get to the root of the issues so you can take back control of your life

Together, we will:

Explore the reason why you are seeking treatment and make a plan to get you there. Through our work, you will learn more about yourself and what you need for a happy, healthy life

I specialize in working with people who:

Need help processing major life changes or major stressors. I also work with people who need help managing their anxiety and finding ways to build their self confidence.

I became a therapist because:

This is my life's work! I became a therapist because I am aware of how many people suffer alone with isolation because the world does not feel safe

Something that stands out about where I offer therapy is:

I offer telehealth. I accept BCBS of MI, BCBS of MA, Cigna, Aetna, United Health, Oxford, Oscar health as well as self pay. I offer sliding scale

More about me and my practice:

I try to make therapy open and manageable. A lot of people come in not knowing what to expect and feel nervous about opening up. In my practice, we go at a steady pace while respecting your boundaries
