She became a therapist for a reason.
A deeply human, culturally responsive approach grounded in experience, rigor, and care.
Her Story
Rubina K. Singh has spent more than fifteen years in mental health because she believes, deeply and genuinely, that every person deserves to be truly heard — not managed, not assessed, but heard.
Growing up between cultures, holding the weight of family expectation, and learning how to build a self that honors both where you come from and where you're going — Rubina knows this territory intimately. Not just theoretically. She has lived in it. And that understanding shapes the way she shows up for every person who sits across from her.
Her training is extensive: a Bachelor of Social Work from Rutgers University (2006), a Master of Social Work from Capella University (2021), and a Doctorate in Social Work currently in progress — supervised by David Freedman. She holds LMSW licensure and is a CASAC Level 2 certified counselor.
Therapy with Rubina is not about fixing what's broken. It is about finally being seen — fully, without performance — and discovering that you have more strength than you realized.
Who She Works With
Rubina works with individuals, couples, and families from all walks of life. She has particular expertise supporting South Asian and immigrant-background clients — people who often come to therapy having never spoken these things aloud to anyone who already understands the context. For many of them, a session with Rubina is the first time they've felt fully met.
She also works with people navigating addiction, grief, relationship rupture, anxiety, depression, and the quieter struggles — the ones that don't have a name but weigh on you every day.
Her Way of Working
Rubina practices from a whole-person, culturally responsive framework. She does not rush. She does not apply a single method to every person. She takes the time to understand who you are, what shaped you, and what kind of support will genuinely reach you — and then she builds the work from there.
A Gentle Note, If You're Wondering
You don't have to be in crisis to reach out. You don't have to have tried everything else first. You just have to be ready — even a little — to be honest with someone who won't judge you for it. That is enough to begin.
