About me

I have a passion for writing stories that led me to author two books, "Love Me or Leave Me" and “My Journey to Spiritual Restoration.” I have a Master of Science Degree in Social Worker and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Work in New York over 15 years ago. I have aided families, children, and teens in acquiring techniques to manage behavioral issues in school, anger, communication, depression, anxiety, blended families, stress, self esteem and self confidence, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, attention deficit disorder, bullying, teenage dating violence, child abuse, parenting issues, adjusting to new situations and other conditions.
I enjoy working with teenagers and helping them in their pursuit for healing, insights, empowerment and gaining knowledge to overcome conflicts in relationship issues, with peers, socialization, self-esteem, confidence, anxiety, depression, and graduating from school.
I’ve worked with teenagers in education settings, outpatient setting, in the community and in home settings. Many times it is difficult to access your inner self because of culture, outside influences, doubt, fear and judgment from others. Asking for help can be a very difficult thing to do and can also become very rewarding. As a therapist, I strive to help you to connect to your authentic self to experience rewarding experiences as you find your path on your life’s journey. I celebrate your courage for taking the first step towards constructive change through therapy. I’m here for you and if you are ready to start I’m here to support and empower you.
I am looking forward to working with you!

Gurmay is kind, validating, and wise in her advice and words. She is excellent at listening, providing analysis, and giving advice on how to move forward. From her guidance, I have learned how to set boundaries and to practice self-care. I have grown immensely in the year that we have worked together, and I cannot recommend her enough. Thank you Gurmay!

Gurmay has been one of the best therapists I have encountered. She listened very tentatively and could give so much insight from my sharing, she helps me to see reality so much better, and she uses scriptures very practically to speak the truth into my life's struggles. I feel much closer to God at the end of our sessions. I am very blessed to have met Gurmay in this healing journey.

Hello, I have been speaking with Gurmay for about three months. My sessions with her have been of great help as I have not been able to connect with anyone else regarding issues I'm having with family/life goals and overall life changes.
She is able to understand challenges that I'm going through because she has had a wealth of life experiences herself. She listens well and gives great feedback and advice as to how approach situations and how to see myself first in them all. I appreciate our sessions and I would recommend her to a friend.

Written on Nov 11, 2021 after therapy with Gurmay for 2 weeks on issues concerning depression, stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship issues, family conflicts, trauma and abuse, grief, intimacy-related issues, parenting issues, self esteem, and adhd

When I first joined teencounseling.com I had a hard time finding the right therapist. I've only had two sessions with Gurmay so far and she's already made a huge positive impact. She's a great listener, empathic and understanding, and provides very thoughtful feedback. She doesn't waste time asking blanket questions and jumps right into the deep roots of your life right in your first session to better understand who you are and why these obstacles have shown up in your life. Then, she walks the path with you and provides support & insight to help you learn, reflect and overcome. I look forward to my continued growth journey with Gurmay and I recommend her to anyone looking to look inward and change their life for the better!

Written on Nov 05, 2021 after therapy with Gurmay for 3 weeks on issues concerning relationship

So about miss Gurmay, i have nothing but kind words. She helped me and my partner when we we're in a very unstable position as a couple and i feel like she really tries to listen to me and to my partner and figures out where the problem is coming from. Makes me feel heard and gives honest and helpful advice that me and my partner take and has influenced our relation in such a short amount of time. Really glad to have her as my therapist.
