Therapist for Trauma in NYC

 

Ramneek is an Indian/Punjabi American born to two immigrant parents in a diverse community in Queens, NY. She soon found herself relocated to a suburban area in Long Island. This shift in location alone taught her immensely regarding the importance of cultural relevancy. Her work is derived from a multitude of disciplines, ranging from biology, trauma, mindset, and culture. Her passion for learning and personal development goes hand in hand with her intentions to enrich communities while helping individuals move out of a state of languishing and struggle to that of flourishing and strength. She utilizes modalities such as trauma-informed and narrative-based therapy to understand, collaborate, and reflect on what the next steps are for an individual.

Ramneek received her BS in Biology from Long Island University and her MA in Mental Health and Wellness from NYU. She completed her graduate internship at an assisted living center as well as foster care homes in Long Island. She has had the opportunity to counsel individuals from various ethnic backgrounds and traumas. Her interest in research revolves around the biology of trauma as well as the science and practice of flourishing. Her clinical work includes working with individuals that are seeking support and guidance in dealing with issues involving intergenerational conflict, vocational/education planning, personal/generational trauma, and languishing that dulls out the beauty of life.
