MA CMHC Graduate Student Intern

(she/her)

Hi, I am Shwetha. I am a Clinical Mental Health Counselor graduate student intern dedicated to helping you move beyond merely surviving each day. As a therapist, I bring a unique blend of medical training from India, spiritual insights, and my own personal journey of healing from trauma. Finding yourself stuck between your past, your current self, and your relationships can feel deeply isolating, but you don't have to navigate it alone. I aim to ensure you feel truly heard and understood, creating a collaborative partnership where you are in control of your healing. I commit to being by your side every step of the way!

Approach

My approach is a partnership that views challenges like anxiety not as flaws, but as vital signals to look deeper within. Together, we will explore your thoughts and dreams to uncover the root causes of stress. Using Internal Family Systems (IFS) and mindfulness, I help you manage complex emotions, stay grounded, and release the heavy burdens you carry.

I offer a neutral, warm, and shared non-judgmental environment. To foster a space of comfort and authentic expression, sessions are available in English, Hindi, and Kannada. This allows you to communicate in the language that feels most natural to you as we navigate your path toward emotional peace and well-being. I work with individual adults and teens exclusively via telehealth, offering you a convenient and secure space to connect from wherever you feel safe.

Areas of Support

Specifically, I offer support with:

  • Anxiety and Depression

  • Work-Life Balance Struggles

  • Struggles in Personal and Career Relationships

  • Trauma and Grief

  • Unhealthy Shame

  • Emotional Regulation

Fees & Consultations

I believe that financial constraints should not be a barrier to healing. I offer a sliding scale fee structure to accommodate different financial situations, as well as pro-bono spaces for individuals for whom therapy is otherwise completely unaffordable.

I offer a free 15-minute Zoom or phone consultation so we can discuss your needs, and you can get a sense of what working with me is like. Do not hesitate to reach out; I am here for you!
