Poonam Dharni

Hello there! I have been a therapist for over 20 years. I am a licensed clinical social worker and completed my education at Columbia University in New York City. My experience includes working primarily in outpatient mental health providing longterm treatment to clients ranging from children and adolescents to the elderly population. I've also worked in the medical, criminal justice, and educational settings where I've advocated for the mental health needs of individuals and families.

I serve clients from diverse backgrounds with various mental health needs including but not limited to depression, anxiety, grief, stress-management, and relationship challenges. My treatment approach is rooted in psychodynamic, cognitive behavioral, and solution-focused modalities.

I provide a supportive experience for clients to feel safe and comfortable to explore and process their thoughts and feelings without judgment. I believe in empowering clients toward developing insight into their mental health needs, and support them in building coping skills to improve their functioning and overall well-being.
