Get to Know Divjot
Prior to working as an outpatient clinician, Divjot has worked with underprivileged children, adolescents and adults in low income areas across New Jersey. Her roles in establishing initiatives to support diverse crowds across the LGBTQ+ community in urban areas led her to practicing therapeutic treatment in the outpatient setting. Divjot supports the belief that trauma impacts both the mind and body as a whole, and that her job is a therapist is not only to help they grow, but to provide a space that allows you to feel safe enough to heal.
Outside of work, Divjot loves to spend time relaxing with her dog while curling up with a cup of coffee and a good book. She enjoys spending time outside in nature, collecting first and special addition books and discovering new places to travel with her loved ones.
She feels most inspired by the quote, “Raise your words not your voice, it’s rain that grows flowers, not thunder.” – (Rumi)
