Padmini Singh Jagpal

Padmini Singh Jagpal

Therapist

Virtual • New York


I’m an Indo-Caribbean therapist who understands what it’s like to grow up in a home where emotions weren’t talked about, and being strong meant staying silent. Therapy with me is a space where you don’t have to explain your culture—you can just be.

We’ll go at your pace. I don’t expect trust right away—I earn it by showing up with honesty, softness, and respect for your story. Whether you're dealing with grief, anxiety, burnout, or identity shifts, I offer a space where you can exhale, untangle what you’ve been carrying, and begin to feel again.

I work well with immigrants and children of immigrants, especially South Asian and Indo-Caribbean adults, who are navigating generational wounds, people-pleasing, high expectations, or feeling disconnected from themselves.
