About Madhulika Khare

It’s not easy to feel stuck; Whether you’re a teen trying to find your voice, a young adult figuring out your next steps, or a parent navigating family stress. I’m here to help you move forward with clarity, self-compassion, and practical tools that work in real life.

I specialize in working with teens, young adults, and families experiencing anxiety, depression, family conflict, identity struggles, and life transitions. I’m especially passionate about supporting young women who feel unmotivated or overwhelmed, helping them reconnect with their strengths and take steps toward the life they want.

As a bilingual therapist (English and Hindi), I welcome clients from diverse cultural backgrounds and understand how important it is to honor each person’s unique story and values. My approach combines Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), CBT, Emotion-Focused Therapy (EFT), and Narrative Therapy; Tailored to your needs and goals. Whether we’re building stronger family communication, exploring your identity, or creating space for emotional healing, I’ll meet you where you are with support and zero judgment.

Outside of therapy, I love running (I’m always training for my next half or full marathon!) and traveling with my husband and two daughters. I bring the same focus, energy, and care into my sessions, helping you create a sense of balance and confidence that lasts long after therapy ends.
