About
Aricksha Wilshire, LCSW, is a New York-based therapist with 4 years of experience supporting women of color and BIPOC clients who are coping with anxiety, depression, relationship strain, and professional burnout. Many people she works with feel stretched thin by competing demands, emotionally drained, or disconnected from who they are beneath expectations from work, family, and society. In therapy, she helps clients slow down, make sense of what they are carrying, and identify realistic next steps toward relief and clarity.
As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW), Aricksha brings a grounded, person-centered style that blends warmth, authenticity, and practical strategies. She focuses on helping clients process emotions while also building tools that support confidence, steadiness, and stronger self-esteem in everyday life.
Her work is shaped by an understanding of lived experience, cultural identity, generational patterns, and societal pressures, creating an affirming and culturally responsive space for reflection and growth. Aricksha also offers flexible scheduling during afternoons and evenings to better accommodate work hours.

Aricksha Wilshire, LCSW, uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to help clients move through anxiety, depression, relationship stress, and burnout with more steadiness and self-trust. Therapy often includes practical, skills-focused work that helps clients notice stress patterns, strengthen coping strategies, and create routines that feel more supportive in daily life. Sessions also make room for deeper emotional processing, so clients can better understand what they feel, where it comes from, and how it connects to current relationships and life transitions.Her approach is also culturally responsive, meaning therapy can thoughtfully include the impact of cultural identity, generational patterns, and societal pressures when they are relevant to a client’s experience. This can be especially helpful for clients who feel pulled between expectations and authenticity, or who want care that respects lived experience while still offering concrete tools.
Finding the right approach is part of the process, and Aricksha collaborates with clients to shape sessions around their goals, preferences, and what feels most helpful over time.
