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 (SE), parts work (IFS), traditional talk therapy, liberation psychology, as well as the systemic, collective, intergenerational, cultural, and sociopolitical realities that impact our mental health. For NJ residents, I accept self-pay and all of the private insurance plans listed. For PA residents, I accept self-pay, 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 that clients tend to bring into the therapy space and to schedule your complimentary 15-min initial consultation call, scroll down and tap the 'Request Appointment' button below. If there are no appointments available, I may have a short waitlist. You can use the 'Contact' button at the top of this page to join the waitlist after we hold a brief consultation call. I look forward to meeting with you!
