Mr. Ashok Parmar is very personable. He is kind, understanding, attentive, helpful, and brings a variety of insight and perspective that can easily be applied to my daily practices and mindset in achieving my goals. He’s intelligent and uses so many resources to help me better understand the world around me and myself. One of the absolute best experiences I have had and I would highly recommend him to anyone seeking a motivator and someone who can politely hold you accountable in following through on your goals. Outside of being a wonderful therapist he is a genuine human and I am so thankful I was paired with him to receive his guidance and reassurance in any topic we speak on.

My name is Ashok Parmar. I am a licensed clinical social worker based in Long Island, New York. My 30 + clinical experience comes from providing direct mental and behavioral health therapy treatment to a diverse client population and from providing clinical supervision to students and psychotherapists.
My experience is varied as I have provided psychotherapy services in the settings including ER and in-patient units of general care and psychiatric hospital, multi-specialty ambulatory care system, school, and business settings. I have worked with adolescents, adults, couples, and families with a variety of presenting issues, including trauma, emotional, relationship, marital and family issues.
I approach therapeutic relationships, process and modalities with utmost sensitivity and respect for diverse ethnic, cultural and gender identity factors. My therapy approach draws from Cognitive Behavior Therapy, Insight Oriented Therapy, Mindfulness and Structural and eco systems. It’s always my priority to meet my client where he/ she is and develop individualized treatment plan which will work best for us as we work together to achieve the goals.
Whether you are working towards mitigation of symptoms, improved insight and functioning, personal growth and transformation, spiritual awakening, we can work together to achieve it. I am here to support and work with you. I am available with prior appointment Mon thru’ Friday from 11:00 AM to 2: PM PM Eastern Day Time.

Online counseling, sometimes called teletherapy, refers to talk therapy delivered remotely through digital platforms, such as video calls, phone calls, or chat. It can be a great option for people who face barriers to traditional face-to-face therapy, such as those living in remote areas, individuals with mobility issues, or people with busy schedules that make it difficult to attend in-person sessions.
Teletherapy also offers greater convenience and flexibility, allowing clients to access care from the comfort of their homes. Research shows that the treatment outcomes with online counseling are often just as effective as with traditional therapy, providing a viable alternative for individuals seeking mental health support.
