Hi, I’m Vaishnavi. A psychologist, therapist, and a partner in your journey toward understanding yourself.
Compassionate, trauma-informed and queer-affirmative therapy, at a pace that feels right for you.
Every part of you is welcome.
A LITTLE ABOUT ME
I believe mental health deserves the same care as physical health. And I believe therapy begins with feeling heard, understood, and accepted as you are.
As a trauma-informed and queer-affirmative therapist, I draw on different therapeutic approaches to meet your unique experiences and strengths. Our work together is grounded in mutual respect, collaboration, and your autonomy.
Whether you’re navigating a difficult chapter or simply seeking to understand yourself better, we’ll make space for your story and find a way forward together. Sessions are available in Hindi and English.
My education & trainingThe problem is the problem,
the person is not the problem.
