CHANDRA SEKHAR POTNURU

Therapeutic Practice I provide individual, couples, and family therapy to address emotional, relational, and psychological challenges through tailored, goal-oriented approaches. By integrating spirituality, particularly Salesian practices, I promote holistic healing, personal growth, and balance. Clinical Interventions I utilize evidence-based modalities such as Psychodynamic, Person-Centered, Gestalt, CBT, Narrative, Solution-Focused, Existential, Experiential (Satir Model), EMDR, Sex Therapy and Family Systems Therapy to treat anxiety, depression, trauma, and grief. My approach emphasizes psychoeducation, equipping clients with coping strategies, communication skills, and conflict resolution techniques to foster resilience and empowerment. Ethical and Legal Standards Committed to ethical principles and state regulations, I ensure confidentiality and conduct risk assessments for child abuse, neglect, or suicidality, taking necessary actions to protect clients' safety and well-being. Collaboration I collaborate with psychiatrists, social workers, and spiritual counselors to enhance client care. Educating clients about informed consent and the therapeutic process builds trust, transparency, and active participation. Community Engagement I organize workshops, seminars, and retreats for schools, churches, and community organizations, focusing on emotional resilience, conflict resolution, and the integration of spirituality and mental health. These initiatives promote awareness and provide valuable support. Couples Therapy Success: Helped multicultural and interfaith couples restore trust and intimacy. Training & Outreach: Led workshops on emotional resilience and trained pastoral staff in mental health first aid. Healing Through Holiness: My research underscores the transformative role of Salesian spiritual practices in marital therapy, offering a model for integrating faith into therapeutic frameworks.
