Meet the Founder

Therapist In Mind was founded by Mahiboob Syed-Vardhan, a Licensed Mental Health Counselor in New York State with approximately 28 years of experience supporting individuals, couples, and families from diverse cultural and personal backgrounds.

Her work is grounded in a person-centered approach that recognizes the uniqueness of each individual’s experiences, challenges, and goals. She integrates evidence-based methods, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, alongside a holistic perspective focused on clarity, balance, and forward movement.

Mahiboob specializes in working with clients experiencing anxiety, stress, depression, emotional overwhelm, relationship challenges, parenting concerns, and life transitions. She is particularly attentive to cultural context, identity, and the nuanced experiences of individuals from multicultural backgrounds.

Therapist In Mind was created from her belief that seeking support should feel approachable, comfortable, and aligned with the pace of real life. Same day and next day appointments reflect this commitment to accessibility and timely care.

With empathy, insight, and a thoughtful, supportive style, Mahiboob helps clients gain clarity, strengthen resilience, and navigate challenges with greater confidence and stability.
