Where Wounds Become Wings with a brown girl therapist
Welcome to Therapy Cocoon
with Anuja Khadka, LCSW, CCTP
Trauma-informed culturally affirming virtual therapy in Florida. Proudly supporting and affirming individuals from all walks of life — including LGBTQIA+ clients, BIPOC communities, immigrants, and mothers
Hi, I’m a bilingual Licensed Clinical Social Worker and Certified Clinical Trauma Professional.
I’m also a mother, a woman of color, a first generation immigrant who understands what it’s like to feel unseen, unheard, and shaped by stories that weren’t mine to carry.
At Therapy Cocoon, I help all adults—especially women of color, first-generation immigrants, and cycle-breakers—heal emotional wounds from childhood, process anxiety, emotional and behavioral patterns including self-esteem, and break generational patterns. Whether you’re struggling with self-doubt, people-pleasing, fear of authority, fear of abandonment, relational wounds, or grief for the childhood you never had, feeling hurt from relationship with your body- your skin color, including grief from life long chronic illness, you’re not alone.
My work is culturally affirming and blends inner child healing, acceptance and commitment , attachment-focused, trauma informed, parts work, somatic experience work, mindfulness and culturally sensitive trauma care to help you reconnect with the parts of yourself that still hurt—and give them the love, voice, and validation they’ve always needed.
Let this be your cocoon. A soft place to land, reflect, and transform.
Because healing doesn’t happen through pushing—it happens through compassion.
🌱 You’re ready. Ready to release what no longer serves you. Ready to rewrite your story. Ready to become the version of yourself you’ve been longing to meet.
If your heart whispers “yes,” let’s begin.
Are you exhausted from feeling like this?
✔️You find yourself constantly seeking external validation and approval, feeling like you’re never quite “good enough” on your own.
✔️ You struggle with setting healthy boundaries, often prioritizing the needs of others at the expense of your own well-being.
✔️ You experience intense emotional reactions to situations that might seem small to others, reflecting deep-seated feelings of abandonment or neglect.
✔️ You have a persistent inner critic that constantly judges and belittles you, echoing negative messages from the past.
✔️ You find it difficult to trust others or form deep, secure connections, fearing rejection or abandonment.
✔️ You may engage in self-sabotaging behaviors, unconsciously recreating familiar patterns of pain or disappointment.
✔️ You carry a deep sense of shame or guilt that doesn’t quite fit the present situation.
If these experiences resonate with you, it could be a sign that the unmet needs of your inner child are still seeking attention and healing. At Therapy Cocoon, I can help you understand these patterns, connect with your inner child’s experiences, and learn to provide the nurturing and compassion you may have longed for. Let’s embark on a journey of healing and self-acceptance together.
