Padma Doobay LCSW
Psychotherapist
Welcome! I'm Padma, a holistic psychotherapist offering teletherapy across North Carolina. I understand that life presents unique challenges, and I believe deeply in the resilience of the human spirit. I specialize in supporting individuals and couples from diverse backgrounds, navigating the complexities of life, including the impact of systemic oppression and intergenerational trauma. As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with nearly two decades of diverse clinical experience, I bring a compassionate and collaborative approach to our work together.
Trauma, Healing and Moving On
You may feel the weight of ancestral trauma, passed down through generations, impacting your life in unexpected ways. You might feel a sense of disconnection, struggling with anxiety or depression, and find it difficult to be your authentic self. I understand. This can leave you feeling lost, longing for a deeper connection to yourself and the world. Together, we can explore how systemic racism, cultural identity, and intergenerational trauma have shaped your experiences. We'll work to challenge limiting beliefs, cultivate self-compassion, and nurture the mind-body connection. Let's work together to heal, grow, and build a life filled with joy, purpose, and authentic connection.
Clients I Work With
I work with folx 18+ who are break unhelpful patterns, challenge societal expectations, and heal from past traumas, and live with intention. My approach is rooted in anti-oppressive practices, honoring your unique worldview and experiences. I have a special passion for supporting those in cross-cultural relationships, working parents navigating multiple responsibilities, and helpers—social workers, therapists, and healthcare professionals—who often need support themselves.
How Therapy with Me Can Help
Building a strong, trusting therapeutic relationship begins with openness and transparency. In our work together, you’ll experience me to be interactive, curious, and collaborative. I take a culturally responsive, person-centered approach, drawing from Internal Family System (IFS), somatic experiencing, narrative therapy, multicultural perspectives, relational dynamics, queer feminist theory, and social justice principles. Together, we’ll explore how colonialism, systemic oppression, and intergenerational trauma have shaped your internal beliefs and relationship patterns. My goal is to help you challenge limiting narratives, break free from unhelpful patterns, and live with intention—empowering you to create meaningful, lasting change in your life.
On a more personal note...
I’m an island gal, I love the beach, live music, and clean eating. Advocacy and justice are very important to me and this is reflected in every aspect of my life. I’m a new parent and I’m learning to rest.... Ready to work with me?
