Kabir Parikh (he/him)

Howdy!

I’m Kabir, an Indian, trans therapist based in Houston, Texas.

I show up to therapy as a co-collaborator: someone who moves at your pace, honors your autonomy, and invites creativity into the space. That might mean we take a walk during session, play a board game together, or chat over the phone if in-person or video doesn’t feel right for you.

There’s so much in this world that can make life feel like a dumpster fire, from anti-LGBTQ+ legislation and grief, to capitalism’s burnout and disconnection. My approach to therapy is about slowing down together, unpacking what’s weighing on you, and identifying the spaces where you have power, agency, and autonomy while naming the systems that make that harder.

I support folks navigating grief, ADHD, autism, gender and/or sexuality exploration, relationship shifts after gender transition, and life as a child of immigrants. My work is grounded in values and mindfulness, and incorporates practices that help you stay rooted, present, and connected to what really matters. If you’re dealing with something that isn’t listed here but you think we’d vibe, I encourage you to reach out for a consult. Therapy with me isn’t about fitting into a box, it’s about co-creating a space that makes sense for you.

Outside the therapy room, I’m usually reading nonfiction and info-dumping the best bits to my wife (or anyone who will listen). I also love pestering my two cats, Mooshoo and Stella, and rewatching early 2000s Bollywood movies on repeat.

I received my Master’s in Social Work from University of Texas at Arlington and a Bachelor’s in Social Work from University of Texas at Austin.

If you’d like to schedule a session or consultation, please reach out to me at kabir@vadacounseling.com or schedule online.

Kabir is a Licensed Master of Social Work in Texas, under the supervision of Max Casero, LCSW-S.
