Kavita Shanbhag

Much of my work is in the area of grief and loss and involves clients who have experienced the loss of a parent, grandparent, or friend through natural or unnatural causes. I provided a safe space for clients to integrate their losses into their lives by helping them find meaning in their world that has drastically changed as well as manage a mixture of emotions that impact them. I am a certified Grief Educator and trained under a well-known Grief Expert, David Kessler.

I use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy through a lens of working with the client as a team to address negative thinking patterns that impact emotions and behaviors. By addressing such patterns, clients can resolve challenges that serve as barriers in their daily and future lives. Most of my experience has been in working with clients who experience anxiety due to low self-esteem, a challenging break-up, social anxiety, and difficulty asserting oneself.

In our first session, you can expect me to spend time building a connection with you. You will learn about the causes of the anxiety you are experiencing, how it impacts your body, calming/relaxation tools to manage symptoms and short readings or videos that supplement what you are learning about yourself.
