About CALM Therapy

CALM Therapy was founded to create a space for healing that is both grounded and expansive. Evidence-based psychology offers proven tools for change, while Eastern wisdom and contemplative practices bring perspective, balance, and a deeper sense of meaning.

This blend is important because many people want more than short-term strategies. They want care that addresses immediate struggles while also speaking to deeper questions of self, purpose, and transformation.

Our care is designed for people navigating anxiety, obsessive-compulsive and related disorders, complex trauma, and major life transitions who want therapy that is both practical and deeply personal.

At CALM, clients find more than symptom management. They find a place where authenticity, compassion, and integrity are central, and where therapy is understood as both a science and a path of growth.

Our Philosophy

  • Integration in Practice

    We draw from gold-standard approaches such as Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Inference-Based CBT (I-CBT), and Internal Family Systems (IFS). These methods provide evidence-based tools, while Eastern frameworks invite perspective and balance. Together, they allow room for both skills and meaning, short-term relief and long-term healing.

  • Depth and Breadth

    Some sessions are practical, focused on building skills for daily life. Others create space for reflection and healing at the root, including the effects of earlier wounds that still shape the present. This balance creates conditions for both immediate relief and lasting transformation.

  • A Values-Driven Practice

    CALM is guided by values of authenticity, compassion, and integrity. This is a space where people are encouraged to show up as they are, while also being supported in the work of change. We believe therapy is not only about reducing distress, but about remembering who you are at your core and building a life that reflects that truth.

Training & Experience

Tanya Singh, PhD, is a licensed clinical psychologist specializing in anxiety disorders, obsessive-compulsive and related disorders, and major life transitions. In working with these concerns, she also saw how many people carry the lingering impact of earlier hardships, which led her to develop expertise in complex trauma.

Her clinical training includes work at institutions such as Rutgers University Behavioral Health Care, Massachusetts General Hospital/Harvard University, Columbia University, SUNY Downstate Medical Center, and the New York State Psychiatric Institute, as well as specialized private practice settings focused on anxiety and OCD. She has also pursued training in ketamine-assisted psychotherapy (KAP), offering care for individuals with treatment-resistant conditions.

An Integrative Presence

What distinguishes her work is the way she integrates evidence-based methods with an authentic and deeply human presence. Having grown up in the East and trained as a psychologist in the West, she carries both perspectives within her. This integration is not something she applies from the outside, but part of who she is and how she understands the human experience. Clients often say they feel understood without needing to over-explain. They recognize her persistence and care, and that she is willing to sit with complexity, keep puzzling through, and walk alongside them in the work.

Beyond the Therapy Room

For Tanya, therapy is more than a profession. It is a calling and a craft, a place where psychological science and spiritual wisdom meet, and where growth is possible for both client and therapist. Her own ongoing reflection and growth shape the way she shows up authentically with those she works with.

Outside of her clinical work, she values time in nature, long walks, and quiet moments of contemplation. She enjoys cooking and exploring new foods, playing video games, writing, and spending time with the children in her life. These practices keep her connected to curiosity, reverence, and the simple joys of living, qualities she brings into her work as a psychologist.
