Description of Practice/Services Offered

Dr. Choksi is a clinical psychologist in private practice with over two decades of experience providing psychotherapy, both in New York City and abroad.  With particular attention to issues arising from gender, identity, culture, and trauma, she offers individual, couples, and group therapy to adults, adolescents, and children.  Her areas of specialization and clinical interest include anxiety and depression, relational conflicts, emerging adulthood, trauma and abuse, compulsive disorders, and individuals of East and South Asian backgrounds.  She also has postdoctoral specialized training in the treatment of eating disorders (including anorexia, bulimia, and binge eating) and body image difficulties, and bipolar and psychotic disorders.  With children and adolescents, she has a special interest in anxiety disorders and international adoptions.  Her approach is integrative and collaborative and oriented to both reduction of symptoms and the promotion of insight and self-awareness, particularly of self-defeating patterns of thinking, feeling, and relating that impede optimal functioning.
