Vignapana Komanapalli

Over the past six years, I have had the privilege of sitting with parents struggling through the heartache of divorce, immigrants and children of immigrants who are making a home against all odds, college students fighting dominant culture norms, survivors of marital abuse, and many more clients. Before becoming a therapist, I worked in education and non-profits in India, and I am astounded, then and now, by the human capacity for resilience and strength in the face of hardship.

I have worked in private and community clinics with clients of all backgrounds; today I take particular pleasure in working with adults who identify as helpers, healers, advocates, caregivers, and parents who, laboring to support others, seek support for themselves. I am trained in Relational-Cultural, EMDR, Mindfulness, Cognitive Behavioral therapies, and Gottman Method of Couples Therapy. I can provide therapy in English and Telugu.

The course of therapy can look different based on individual needs. From our sessions you can expect a collaborative process to tailor therapy to your needs, to take away concrete "resourcing" or emotion regulation skills, to identify root causes of your difficulties, trace how they become noticeable in different areas of your life, explore the change that you would like to see happen, and support as you as bring new responses and new beliefs into different areas of your life.
