Hope

"However bad life may seem, there is always something you can do and succeed at.

Where there’s life, there’s hope."

 - Stephen Hawking

Hope is about relief and restoration. There is always hope, even when we don't see it. Hope is the life force that keeps us going. My role is that of a mentor who helps people see the hope inside themselves. I help my clients connect with hope by offering a sense of support and validation.

in the Heart of Herndon with Deepti Mishra

Licensed Professional CounselorMAMEdLPC

I am Deepti Mishra and I've been helping people for more than 20 years. At my office in Herndon, VA, I see couples, individuals, and young adults and their families. If you're seeking help right now because you have tried everything and nothing is helping, you are doing the right thing by reaching out for help. Why fight alone when there is help available? In fact, as you start to feel better, you'll be glad you reached out too. Intimate relationships are pivotal in our lives. When we feel stuck, it affects every aspect of our wellbeing: mental, physical, emotional, and spiritual. I can help you and your loved ones reconnect. Whether you and your partner are just going through some temporary setbacks, or life's thrown you some curve balls, or you're trying to figure out where to go from here, we'll work together to help you find your way.

Calm

"The most intense conflicts, if overcome, leave behind a sense of security and calm that is not easily disturbed."

 - Carl Jung


A calm mind brings out inner strength, self-confidence, and good health. Life can be stressful, anxiety-filled, and generally an extremely uncomfortable experience. Through mindfulness and deep breathing skills, I help my clients build a stress-relief system that guides them out of their chaos and towards calm.
