Neesa Sunar, LMSW
Welcome! I'm glad you're here!
I'm a grant writing consultant who assists non-profit organizations in securing funding for their work. I write with professionalism in sectors including developmental disabilities services, behavioral health, autism services, marginalized community empowerment, DEI initiatives, and more.
I have an active LMSW license in NY state, and I've worked in the NYC non-profit mental health sector since 2014. I've offered telehealth psychotherapy (under clinical supervision) since 2021. I also perform on viola, and I teach violin to students of all levels and ages. This comes after my own musical practice. Thus, I highly value the arts as a way of life.
Please feel free to reach out to me, if you'd like to learn more about my grant consulting services and work.
