Dr. Alisha Desai
Psychologist, PhD
I am a firm believer that we are all capable of change. At the same time, I understand how difficult and scary change can be - even if it's what we want most. My goal is to help others build the confidence to see themselves fully and move through life based on their own inner compass.
My approach is collaborative, practical, and grounded in evidence-based practices. I aim to create a space where you can be honest about what you’re experiencing, without judgment, while developing concrete tools to navigate challenges, build resilience, and live a life that feels more meaningful and aligned with your values.

Seaford Counseling Services
Counselor/Therapist, M.Ed, LCMHC
Unmet expectations, promises unkept, breaches in trust, hurt feelings, and failed bids for connection. These add up over many years; and eventually our once-robust marriages land us in the roommate zone. "We just lost each other in the busy -ness of life." Does any of this sound familiar? You are not alone! I have used The Gottman Method to successfully help clients skillfully tackle the hard conversations, rekindle that spark, and then maintain the closeness that we felt way back when we first fell in love and just knew that our partner was "the one!"
