Ruschelle Khanna

Social Worker (Mental Health)

Hi, I’m Ruschelle. 21-year experienced mediator, therapist (and business strategist) for finance and tech executives, creative entrepreneurs, and couples.

About Me

Hi, I'm Ruschelle. With 21 years of experience, I support finance and tech executives, creative entrepreneurs, and couples. I understand the complex pressures you face, whether in high-stakes careers or personal relationships. As a therapist, mediator, and business strategist, I help you gain clarity. Together, we can align your path forward, unravelling challenges and building practical strategies for lasting balance.

Approach

When pressures feel competing, I slow the pace to map priorities and uncover hidden tensions so you can choose next steps with intention. I see people in New York and virtually in English, keeping sessions steady, time-bound and easy to fit into busy weeks. Sessions blend focused assessment, conflict navigation and practical strategy—often with measurable goals, brief between-session tasks and clear safety planning—so emotions feed decisions rather than derail them. This way of working tends to suit high-stakes professionals, creatives and partnered clients seeking usable balance.
