I am a licensed clinical social worker with 12+ years of experience providing evidence-based treatment to adult individual clients. I specialize in working with adult children of alcoholic parents and I am a published author on the subject. While I have a solid skills-based foundation and I like to establish goals for therapy, my work is very relational and interpersonal. I place the emphasis on goodness of fit and trust first.

I am an LCSW who specializes in trauma and addiction. I also work with clients with anxiety, depression and relationship issues. I utilize a variety of approaches including EMDR, somatic interventions, mindfulness and a psychodynamic approach.

I’m Shruthi, a South Asian American therapist licensed in NY and PA. I help clients work through anxiety, people-pleasing, intergenerational trauma, and identity challenges while navigating chronic health conditions. Therapy with me is a space where you don’t have to explain your culture to feel understood.

People work with me in therapy when when they want to understand themselves better, express themselves more authentically, build stronger social connections, and get through a big life transition. I have openings for therapy sessions and neurodivergence-affirming autism assessments.

I specialize in working with those who appear “okay” on the outside, but inside they’re overthinking, second-guessing, or bending themselves to keep others happy. Those who want to say no more often, strengthen their relationships, feel more confident, quiet their inner critics, or feel more at ease with their bodies. I provide virtual sessions for those in NY, CT, and NJ.

With compassion and curiosity I help people explore untangle patterns that are no longer serving them. My approach is drawn from evidence-based therapeutic modalities -- I integrate Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Psychodynamic Therapy, and Internal Family Systems (IFS) to best serve the unique needs of each person.

I do my best to bring my authentic self to session which means therapy with me is warm, nonjudgmental, and collaborative – with a touch of humor! I am passionate about my work as a therapist and I am deeply committed to helping people make positive changes in their lives.

If you’re ready to make lasting changes in your life, I encourage you to reach out. I offer a free 15-minute phone consultation to get comfortable, ask questions, and see if we could be a good fit.

I am a licensed LCSW in New York and New Jersey.

I am a graduate of the Silberman School of Social Work at Hunter College, and I have also completed additional advanced clinical training through the Psychodynamic Psychotherapy Study Center and the Embody Lab. My specialties include CPTSD, Bipolar Disorder, psychosis, severe depression, religious trauma, and navigating complicated family dynamics.
