Therapist / Sambavi Venkatesan, LPC

My approach to therapy is warm, relational, culturally-conscious, and solution-focused. I strive to be an anti-racist and LGBTQIA+ affirming therapist by providing decolonized mental health services and celebrating all of your strengths, gifts, and identities. I believe you are the expert of your life and should dictate your needs for therapy. I am here to provide a space for you to be yourself, fully and wholly.

I also share practical tools for you to feel confident in tackling the challenges that come your way. This includes incorporating skills and techniques from Relational-Cultural Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Expressive Arts Therapy, and Restorative Practices.

So, what are some of these practical tools good for?

• Regulating your emotions

• Identifying and challenging negative beliefs

• Reframing your thoughts to build more positive ones

• Becoming more mindful and reducing physical manifestations of your mental stress

• Building awareness of your self

• Developing more effective communication skills

• Restoring relationships

• Setting goals to promote your growth

• Learning to conquer adulting

Sound like what you’re looking for? I got you.
