Spiral Up Therapy


Welcome,

I am Manali Deolalkar (She/Her), a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor. I identify as a Desi, South Asian therapist and I provide Individual & Couples therapy to adults based in California & New Jersey. I am motivated to create a safe and collaborative relationship where we can together engage in the process of self-awareness.

I believe therapy is a space for you. It is a space where you deserve the freedom to explore yourself to promote healthy well-being. At Spiral Up Therapy, I aim to provide that space for you.

Who do I work with :

I work with a diverse range of clients, including adolescents, adults, couples, students, women, people of color, Queer and Trans Desi, immigrants, tech professionals, and therapy newcomers. I specialize in South Asian Mental Health, as I understand the challenge around finding a therapist that can understand the unique cultural nuances, beliefs, and expectations of our community.

I work with anxiety & stress, depression, relationship & dating issues, work stressors, young adulthood transitions, LGBTQ+ support & low self-esteem. I also offer sex therapy & coping with sexual behaviours like past sexual offending, sex addiction, porn addiction, and non-offending pedophilia.

I'm here to help individuals who are introspective, willing to engage in inner work, and view therapy as a space for personal growth rather than just fixing immediate issues. My goal is to aid in your emotional journey and foster a deeper connection with yourself.

Why Spiral Up Therapy?

Life is full of spirals – twists and turns that can either lead us up or down. It’s easy to get stuck in negative spirals, such as anxiety or depression. Instead of going down with the spiral, or sometimes avoiding the spiral, let’s try using these spirals to rise up.

Give every spiral a thought, and let me help you spiral up..
