Ami Bhalodkar-Haque, MS, MPH, LMFT

Interfatih/ Intercultural Marital and Premarital Counseling

Ami is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist in the State of New York as well as an Ordained Interfaith Minister. She provides individual, couple, and family therapy at Midtown Marriage and Family Therapy in NYC and Counseling Corner for Marriage and Family Therapy on Long Island. Ami’s areas of interest and expertise include working with interfaith and intercultural couples and incorporating mindfulness and spirituality into therapy (as appropriate and desired).

As someone who grew up in America as part of a tight-knit Indian family, Ami is particularly sensitive to the impact clients’ family of origin, culture, and/or religion have on shaping their beliefs and informing their day-to-day decisions. In addition, as a result of her own personal experiences, she is keenly aware of the unique challenges facing intercultural and/or interfaith couples and families. Given her multicultural background and non-judgmental and warm nature, Ami is able to connect with others regardless of their age, gender, race, sexual orientation, culture, and/or life experiences.

Ami is a certified PREPARE (premarital) counselor, certified PREP (relationship) facilitator, and certified Bringing Baby Home (parenting) Gottman educator. She is able to offer all of these programs either in a one-on-one format or group workshop. Ami earned her Masters Degree in Marriage and Family Therapy from Iona College. She also has a Masters Degree in Public Heath from Emory University and earned her Bachelor of Arts degree in South Asian Languages and Cultures from Columbia College. In addition, Ami graduated from the One Spirit Interfaith Seminary as an Interfaith Minister.
