Great to meet you!

Hi there, My name is Ravina D. Wadhwani, M.Ed, LPCC, a licensed therapist with a deeply personal mission for curating a therapy space where individuals feel brave to heal, grow, unlearn and embrace alignment with their authentic selves.

I help clients heal from anxiety, depression and PTSD. I am passionate about processing trauma and empowering you to see change in your life outside of sessions.

I am known for helping folks of marginalized backgrounds including women, LGBTQIA+, those affected by immigration and political stressors, individuals healing from cultural traumas, first generation wounds, and racially and ethnically diverse clients, as well as artists/ creatives.

As your therapist, I create a warm, purposeful space where therapy can feel authentic.

Together we’ll explore, identify, unlearn, re-learn, embrace, and go from surviving to aligning.

My approach to therapy

I incorporate individual, intersectional therapeutic approaches. I am professionally certified and trained in a variety of modalities including CBT (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy), DBT (Dialectical Behavioral Therapy), Narrative Therapy, Interpersonal Psychotherapy, Psychodynamic Approaches, Attachment Based Therapy, and more. Though some of these approaches have been around for some time- I aim to de-center colonial, outdated techniques and center your needs, goals, and desires at the forefront of your therapy journey.

What you can expect from me

Clients can expect a biopsychosocial assessment in their first session which will cover their presenting concerns, history of mental health, reasons for seeking therapy and a shared understanding of what to expect moving forward. The first session also serves as a safe, collaborative space to get started and feel oriented in a no-rush no-pressure environment. It is also a good way for us to assess whether we are a good fit.
