about

Hi, I'm Afsha.

I'm Afsha Merchant, a licensed therapist, wellness coach, and the founder of Therapize Me — a wellness coaching and speaking hub established in 2023.

For nearly seven years, I've worked with children, adults, and families from ages 6 and up who are ready to move from surviving to thriving. My coaching is holistic, body-based, and trauma-informed, rooted in evidence-based strategies from Dialectical Behavioral Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. I currently work with adults only due to the virtual formatting but my work and passion is grounded in wanting to make you have a more hopeful life.

Afsha Merchant — founder of Therapize Me

Who we are

Therapize Me is a wellness coaching and speaking hub founded in 2023 by Afsha Merchant. We exist to make growth feel accessible, empowering, and sustainable — especially for people who have the motivation to change but need support turning intention into consistent action.

Through a life coaching lens, we help clients build clarity, confidence, accountability, and habits that last. Our work focuses on strengthening mindset, overcoming internal barriers, and stepping into a more aligned, authentic self.

About the names

Therapize Me is the coaching side of the practice — a space for wellness coaching, goal-setting, and personal growth that is forward-moving and collaborative. It is not clinical therapy, and it does not diagnose or treat mental health conditions. Instead, it offers supportive, structured guidance for people who want to build clarity, confidence, and sustainable change.

Yeh Therapy Hai — “this is therapy” in Hindi — represents the therapy side of the business. It weaves in the language of my South Asian roots and honors the community I come from and serve. Both names share the same intention: to make wellness feel personal, cultural, and shame-free.
