Pritha Ray-Costello, LMHC(She/Her/Hers)

Pritha's practice is dedicated to individuals navigating the complex intersections of identity, relationship challenges, and trauma. She specializes in supporting those who have felt marginalized or "othered," providing a dedicated space for clients struggling with a lack of community or a diminished sense of belonging. By honoring each client's unique story, she helps those seeking personal growth to find empowerment amidst their lived experiences.

Her therapeutic approach is deeply relational, holistic, and rooted in authenticity. Pritha centers the client's lived experience, incorporating an understanding of their past to help them navigate the "waves and waters" of their present. Her style is characterized by a compassionate, peaceful, and nonjudgmental presence, designed to offer a safe harbor for deep exploration. She views the therapeutic process as a partnership, aiming to be a steady companion for clients as they advocate for themselves and work toward a brighter, more intentional future.

Pritha’s professional perspective is informed by her own background as a queer immigrant Indian American woman. This personal history fuels her commitment to providing the kind of radical acceptance and intentionality she once sought for herself. Her background allows her to bring a high degree of empathy and cultural nuance to her work, particularly when helping clients process the systemic and interpersonal nuances of their own identities.

Practicing through Mental Health Matters, Pritha offers clinical support across multiple accessible platforms. She is available for in-person sessions at our office locations which include Cambridge, Lynnfield, and Winchester, and provides flexible telehealth options for residents throughout Massachusetts. This hybrid availability ensures that her specialized, trauma-informed care remains accessible to those with busy schedules or geographic constraints.
