About

Shifa Therapy LLC

Welcome to Shifa Therapy LLC, a space for healing. I'm Shalin (he/him), and I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (NJ and PA), Licensed Clinical Alcohol and Drug Counselor (NJ), and Somatic Experiencing Practitioner. I offer trauma-focused services that center the Global Majority (BIPOC individuals), especially folks within the LGBTQIA+ community across NJ and PA. My goal as your therapist is for you to be seen and understood as you are. No code-switching necessary. Throughout the process, I will invite you with patience and compassion, going at your pace as you build new adaptations towards thriving. My work with my clients integrates body-based approaches, parts work, traditional talk therapy, liberation psychology, as well as the systemic, collective, intergenerational, cultural, and sociopolitical realities that impact our mental health. All sessions are held 100% virtually. For NJ residents, I accept all of the private insurance plans listed below. For PA residents, I accept Cigna, Quest Behavioral Health, and most non-marketplace Blue Cross/Blue Shield plans. I do not accept Medicare or Medicaid. To see some of the issues my clients tend to bring into the therapy space and to schedule your complimentary initial consultation call, scroll down and tap the 'Request Appointment' button below. I look forward to meeting with you!
