Dr. Dhriti Folmsbee

Are you a high achiever grappling with self-doubt, difficulty connecting with others, or finding balance in life? Many of my clients are smart, driven individuals who struggle with perfectionism, career uncertainty, complex relationships, and evolving identities. I’m a licensed psychologist who works with people like you: intellectually curious and ready for meaningful self-discovery and change. As a woman of color, I bring a unique perspective, exploring how your multiple identities shape your challenges and successes. I have experience working with other concerns including anxiety, panic, OCD, ADHD, as well as family, health and race-related stress.

I integrate CBT, ACT, interpersonal, and feminist approaches to help you critically explore the patterns that serve you, and the ones that hold you back. What makes my practice unique? I approach therapy with flexibility, creativity, and humor. I believe that self-discovery and personal growth don’t have to be only serious and heavy; in fact, humor and creativity can often unlock new insights and foster deep change. Think of our sessions as a place where you can bring your whole self including your curiosity, doubts, and hopes to work together to create the life and career you desire.

In our first sessions, you can expect a warm and thoughtful conversation where we explore what brings you to therapy, what’s currently challenging you, and what you'd like to get out of our work together. I’ll ask questions to understand your history, identity, and values, and together we’ll start to map out a direction that feels both supportive and empowering. My goal is to make you feel seen, heard, and genuinely understood from the very beginning.
