Psychology Today Profile

Gurkiran (Kiran)

Hi there, I'm Gurkiran K. Singh, but please call me Kiran. My path to mental health counseling began with a Bachelor's in biomedical science, driven by a desire to help others. However, I soon realized that medicine wasn't the only, or even the most impactful, way to make a difference. I became captivated by the power of mental health and the intricate interplay of personal, biological, and social factors that shape each individual. This led me to pursue my Master's in Clinical Mental Health Counseling at the Chicago School of Professional Psychology.

In our fast-paced world, we often neglect ourselves. I'm here to remind you that it's okay to prioritize YOU. As they say on airplanes, secure your own mask before assisting others. You can't help if you're running on empty. I'm committed to being there for you through the ups and downs, the challenges and triumphs. I encourage you to dive within and discover what you need to heal and live life to the fullest. Thank you for allowing me to be part of your journey.

"Our wounds are often the openings into the best and most beautiful part of us." – David Richo

Adriana

Hello, I'm Adriana Nava Sosa, and I'm committed to helping you thrive on your mental health journey. I believe that every individual possesses the resilience and capacity for meaningful change. As a therapist, my role is to partner with you, build upon your strengths, and equip you with the tools to overcome life's obstacles.

My educational background includes a Psychology degree from the University of Miami, with minors in Creative Writing and Philosophy, and a Master of Science in Psychology from Florida International University. I am extensively trained in evidence-based practices, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Motivational Interviewing (MI), and I skillfully integrate therapeutic approaches like Mindfulness-Based Interventions, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT).

Whether you're a child, teen, adult, couple, or family, I'm here to listen, understand, and empower you as we work together to achieve your therapeutic goals. My goal is to create a safe and supportive space where you feel heard, understood, and equipped for lasting well-being.
