Great to meet you!

My name is Shachi Shrestha (she/her), and I have been a clinical social worker for over fifteen years.

My work is grounded in relational, multicultural, and feminist perspectives, and I always strive to meet my clients where they are.

Mental health work is my passion. I deeply believe in empowering clients and helping them utilize their unique strengths to achieve balance.

My approach to therapy

Depending on each individual's needs, I integrate various approaches, including Relational-Cultural Therapy (RCT), Trauma-focused therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), psychodynamic, and attachment-based work. I also enjoy incorporating writing, art, play, and other expressive tools into my practice.

What you can expect from me

If you are ready to explore what healing and growth can look like for you, I would love to connect. I work virtually with clients across Massachusetts, and I welcome individuals from all backgrounds, cultures, and walks of life. Whether you are carrying trauma, managing anxiety, navigating a major life transition, or simply seeking a space to feel seen and supported, I look forward to seeing if we are a good fit.
