psychotherapy

Asha De Costa is a Sri Lankan–Japanese therapist working with adults navigating anxiety, ADHD, trauma, chronic stress, and complex life transitions. Trained at Columbia University’s counseling program, she provides clinically grounded, culturally informed care focused on understanding and shifting the underlying patterns that shape how individuals think, feel, and function.

Her approach integrates strengths-based therapy with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), and nervous system–informed interventions.
