Hi, I’m Gayatri (she/her)
Welcome to my private practice website!
I’m a Licensed Mental Health Counselor with 8 years of experience working in various clinical settings with children, adolescents, young adults and adults. I believe in investing in the power of connection and community, especially for those who have been historically marginalized. Many of us have been pushed away from community and connection by systems that weren’t built for us. My hope is to empower those whose voices have been stifled and identities relegated, to reclaim space through community, resistance, and activism.
My lived experiences as a queer, South Asian, cis- woman deeply inform my approach to therapy. I believe in holding space for the multiple, intersecting identities and experiences each person carries and honoring the wisdom you already bring into the room. Through a liberation-focused, relational, and trauma-informed approach, I support individuals who are looking to process traumatic experiences, explore gender and sexuality, navigate their cultural identity and intergenerational trauma.
Therapy should be a space where you don’t have to justify who you are, where all aspects of your identity are welcome. This work is hard, and it’s exhausting to be vulnerable– I’m here to walk alongside you, supporting your process of unlearning, stretching beyond comfort zones, and cultivating new ways of being. I am here to offer curiosity, care, and a space to hold multiple truths.
Growth isn’t linear—it’s a daily practice of reflection, connection, and self-compassion. We all deserve spaces that nurture us in this process, and I am honored to co-create that space with you. My integrative approach draws from trauma-informed and relational-cultural modalities, rooted in the understanding that we are shaped by our experiences, culture, ancestors, and the larger social and political systems we inhabit.
If you’re looking for a supportive space to explore your identity and experiences, I invite you to reach out. Call or email to schedule a consultation—I look forward to meeting you.
