Sakshi Shetty

Over my 2.5 years of experience as a counseling psychologist, I have had the privilege of supporting clients from diverse backgrounds with varying concerns such as emotional dysregulation, navigating major life transitions, inter and intrapersonal challenges among others. As a counseling psychologist, my practice is rooted in affirmative and trauma-informed care. My hope with my work has always been to offer a space to clients where they feel safe enough to explore, pause and reflect on the challenges that they are experiencing. My approach in therapy uses a biosocial lens to look at client concerns and how it's affecting their way of responding to situations. I borrow a lot from Dialectical Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy in my work. In sessions, I tend to use mindfulness, body-awareness and emotions-based work. I strongly believe that clients are the experts of their own lives, and so making sense of your experience, how you see the world and why you see it that way is important. At the same time, we also reflect and work with seeing if this perspective is helping you right now or adding to your concerns.
