About Me:

Hi, I’m Sherliyan Babu, LCSW and founder of Grounded In Counseling LLC. Since 2018, I’ve been in private practice, helping adults, couples, and professionals navigate life’s challenges with meaningful support and practical, down-to-earth strategies that create real change.

Whether you're facing personal struggles, relationship challenges, or the pressures of a demanding work environment, therapy can offer a path forward—but it requires readiness and willingness to do the work. I partner with clients who are committed to their growth and open to the process of meaningful change.

In addition to individual and couples therapy, I provide critical incident debriefing for organizations—offering timely, compassionate care to teams impacted by traumatic or high-stress events.

To make support more accessible, I offer secure telehealth and video sessions, giving you the flexibility to prioritize your mental health—on your terms, in your own space.
