Vasavi Charathram

I am licensed in California with 12 years of professional work experience. I have experience in helping clients from varied ages and cultural backgrounds with stress and anxiety, relationship issues, trauma and abuse, & coping with grief and loss. I have worked with many children to help them work through bullying, anxiety, depression, and academic issues.

I work with my clients to create an open and safe environment where thoughts and feelings can be shared without fear of judgment. Taking the first step to sign up for therapy can take courage and I am proud of you for getting started!

I emphasize unconditional positive regard right from my first meeting with my clients. Once I understand their goals, I work towards aligning myself with my client. Then I work with them to reach solutions to the challenges they are facing. The idea is the client feels like they are talking to a friend in session.

As a therapist I work towards empowering the client by teaching the client how to think differently from when they first started therapy. This changes how the client lives their life moving forward after therapy has ended.
