Kanika is a New York City based social worker and therapist who has been working with and supporting individuals, children, couples, and families for the past 16 years. After receiving a BA from New York University, Kanika studied Early Childhood Education at Bank Street College where she received an MsED. She worked as an educator for over 10 years before returning to school to receive a second Masters’ degree in clinical social work from the Columbia University School of Social Work. Kanika currently practices clinical social work and psychotherapy at The Association to Benefit Children and Resilient Mind Psychotherapy. Kanika discovered Focalization in 2021 and immediately recognized the transformational power of this gentle, yet highly effective, somatic therapeutic technique. Kanika became a Certified Practitioner of Focalization (CFP) through training with Nick Werber, one of the leading practitioners of Focalizing in the world. Almost at once, she began integrating Focalization into her own life and work - and the results have been profound. Kanika hopes to be able to support your journey to healing and wholeness, by practicing the Focalizing technique with you.
