Mental Health Support & Community

Rediscover yourself.
Reclaim your life.

Welcome, and thank you for being here. Seeking mental health support can feel overwhelming, but it is my belief that everyone has the right to create a space for themselves in which they feel respected, understood, and allowed to show up as their truest selves.

About Me

My name is Sharmin Akhter, founder of Wellness Within Counseling, LLC. I am a daughter of immigrants, wife, and a mother. I have worked in a variety of mental health settings for over 18 years and built this community in hopes of healing and empowering those who have walked similar paths and encountered issues that I can personally relate to.

Much of my therapeutic approach was born out of not just higher education and extensive training but also lived experience. My aim is to help you uncover the weight of any childhood trauma, cultural conditioning, familial pressures, self doubt, shame, guilt and any other barriers that may be interfering with living the life you envision for yourself and deserve.

Through learning, unlearning and exploration, I will support you in connecting with all of the different facets of yourself so that you can create and show up as the version that feels whole and honors your unique self.

Reminder:

Discomfort, confusion, guilt, and shame are not always an indication that you’re doing something wrong. Sometimes these difficult feelings simply reflect that you’re doing something incredibly brave, different and right. 

Virtual/Online Therapy

Dont feel like taking time away from work, family, or down time to rush to therapy and pay for travel and parking? Good news! We heard you and that is why all sessions are now virtual to accommodate busy lives and help you save time and money. We want to make access to therapy easy so that you can focus on the other things you love.
