What We Do

At Dharshana Counseling, Dr. Dinisha Paul offers Ohio residents culturally responsive, trauma-informed therapy and mental health support to help you or your child feel steadier and more connected. You don’t have to navigate overwhelming emotions, chronic anxiety or the effects of trauma alone.

 

The Sanskrit word "Dharshana" encompasses a philosophy of seeing oneself with compassion by recognizing the divine within. We embody this philosophy by empowering clients to unlock their inner wisdom and resilience.

Meet Dr. Dinisha Paul, PhD, LPCC

I'm a doctoral-level therapist based in Toledo with more than seven years of experience. I've dedicated my practice to finding individualized care that meets each client where they are. This is an approach that acknowledges the profound impact of childhood experiences, past trauma, and unhealthy relationships on our current well-being. 


A native of India, I attended graduate school for counseling in Mississippi and Ohio and have deep experience across several areas of clinical practice. I bring a multicultural lens to my work, providing a deep respect for the varied identities, backgrounds and lived experiences of my clients. 


I seek to bring a warm and empathetic approach to each session in order to create a space where you feel seen, heard, and supported. I believe in the inherent goodness and resilience of every person.


I'm licensed in Ohio and can provide virtual counseling services to anyone based in the state.

Take the First Step

Starting therapy can feel intimidating—that's why I offer a free 15-minute consultation to see if we're a good fit. You can ask questions, share what you're struggling with, learn how we provide mental health support, and get clarity on next steps.
