Zarrin May Be a Good Fit If
Therapy works best when the approach feels clear, collaborative, and grounded in what matters to you.
See If Zarrin Is Right for YouYou suspect ADHD, or have a diagnosis, and want strategies that hold up daily.
Intrusive thoughts or rituals shape your routine and you want a structured plan.
A habit or dependency keeps returning despite real effort to stop.
You want a psychologist who can work in Bengali, Hindi, or Urdu.
You want someone who understands immigrant and multigenerational family dynamics.
You want practical tools, not only a space to talk.
How I Work
We choose the methods that fit your goals, then keep checking that the work is useful outside the therapy room.
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT)
We find the thought pattern behind a reaction, then test it.
Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP)
You face an OCD trigger in small steps, without the ritual.
Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT)
Skills for hard moments, including intense emotions, distress, and impulse control.
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)
Make room for hard feelings while still acting on what matters.
Solution-Focused Therapy (SFT)
We start from what already works and build on it.
Motivational Interviewing (MI)
We work through mixed feelings about change at your pace.
Narrative Therapy
You retell your story so the problem stops defining you.
Mindfulness practice
Simple attention tools you can use between sessions.
Trauma-informed practice
We move at a pace that keeps you steady and in control.
Confidential. Compassionate. Evidence-informed.
