The Human behind The Therapist:

I’m Sahebjit “TJ” Singh, LMFT

Founder of Support Spirit Counseling & Therapy Practice.

I came to the United States from India as a young child, dropped into a world that looked nothing like the one I knew. No one could say my name, the food was unfamiliar, and I often felt like an outsider watching life from the sidelines. That feeling never fully left as I grew up.

By the time I reached adolescence, I had already created two identities.
At home I was Sahebjit. Quiet. Careful.
Everywhere else I was TJ. Outgoing. Adaptable.

Two worlds pulling me in different directions. Two versions of myself trying to survive. That split shaped my identity, my mental health, and the emptiness I felt for years. I battled identity confusion, depression, anxiety, and a constant pressure to belong.

This is what eventually led me to become a therapist. Not out of convenience, but out of necessity. I broke the pattern of following expectations and chose a path that allowed me to understand the pain I lived through and help others do the same.

I rebuilt myself piece by piece. I learned that identity can be reclaimed, patterns can be broken, and deep wounds can heal when they’re finally given space and understanding.

That is why I do this work.

I want people to know they are not trapped in the life their past created.
I want people to know healing is real, even when it feels impossible.
I want people to build a life and identity they are proud of.

I never believed I could. Now I am living proof that you can.

And that is why I am here. To make sure you do not have to do this alone.
