Theory of Change and Growth 

 

I recognize that trauma affects each person differently, which is why I tailor my approach to meet each client’s unique needs. My practice is rooted in a client centered approach that focuses on creating a supportive space for clients to feel recognized, aiming for vulnerability and authenticity in a challenging world.

 

Intervention Style

 

You will experience a supportive space where your unique healing needs are fully acknowledged and met. Our goal is to create an environment where you feel truly recognized and seen, fostering the vulnerability and authenticity required to navigate and thrive in a challenging world.​ ​​In addition, as a first-generation Indian American with a background in social work, I offer insights into cultural challenges and systemic issues causing stress for those in need of cultural competent interventions.

Understanding Therapy Costs by Clinician Level:

  • Fully Licensed Professionals (LPC, LCSW, LMFT): Our current rate for individual therapy sessions with fully licensed therapists is set at $120 per session. Nationally, these sessions typically range from $90 to $200. These clinicians have completed extensive training, supervision, and state licensure requirements.
  • Provisional/Associate-Level Clinicians (LPC Associate, LMSW, LMFT Associate): Our current rate for sessions with provisional or associate-level therapists is set at $95 per session. Nationally, the average cost for these sessions ranges from $65 to $120. These clinicians are highly skilled, have completed their master's degrees, and are working under the direct supervision of a fully licensed professional as they accumulate hours towards full licensure.
  • Student Interns: Sessions with student interns, who are gaining practical experience under close supervision, typically range from $0 to $85 per session. This provides an affordable entry point for therapy while ensuring high-quality care through rigorous oversight.
