Know your therapist
Hi, I'm Akanksha! (she/her)
I have been working closely with my clients since 2012 to help them achieve the goals most important to them. I would be happy to offer you a free phone consultation (669-282-7234) to help you decide if therapy is the right choice for you. I am fluent in both English and Hindi.

About me...
I am a heterosexual female and I have lived in both India and the US. My initial education and training in psychology was in New Delhi, India, after which I worked in Ohio and San Jose as part of my Ph.d. in Clinical Psychology. Working and living in two different cultures has given me unique insight into both stereotypes and solutions to mental health issues.
I view myself as an ally of the LGBTIA community, and include principles of equality & feminism, social justice and cultural sensitivity in my therapy approach. I try and highlight systemic oppression, racism and minority identities and their impact on mental health experiences.
I have provided a detailed summary of my Clinical Expertise and my Therapy Approach. Please review these in order to decide if you'd like to work with me.
