My Approach to Helping
I have over 12 years of experience in providing psychotherapy to adults, couples and adolescents. I have expertise in wide variety of issues such as couples with cross-cultural issues, anxiety, depression and life transitions. My belief is in a holistic approach to therapy encompassing body, mind and spirit. I integrate my education and experience in Life Coaching into my psychotherapy practice to offer unique symptomatic relief that uses inner strengths and natural resilience to promote growth and sustainability. I am passionate about my work in empowering clients in creating a fulfilling life filled with compassion and acceptance of self which in turn can promote fundamental growth. I have worked in a number of settings including private practice, schools, non-profit agencies, crisis centers and hospitals. Padma is fluent in Asian Indian languages, including Hindi and Tamil. She has a Master's Degree in Counseling Psychology and Clinical Psychology. Along with being a licensed psychotherapist, she is also a certified Life Coach . In her free time, she enjoys her family, pets, reading, meditating, traveling and backpacking.
