My Approach to Helping
Sindhu Elagandhala (they/them, she/her) is a Resident in Counseling (RIC) working towards licensure as a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC). They have years of experience and are passionate about working with clients navigating comorbidities of mood, anxiety, personality, and trauma diagnoses as well as those seeking to integrate neurotypes such as attention-deficit hyperactivity (ADHD) and autism. They work with adults, couples, and families who are motivated by the work of therapy. Sindhu completed their Master's degree (MA) and Education Specialist (Ed.S) degrees at James Madison University in Clinical Mental Health Counseling. They engage in creative therapies that primarily utilize tools from emotion-focused therapy (EFT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), Internal Family Systems (IFS), trauma-informed therapy (TIF), and attachment-based (ABT) frameworks. Individual experiences, trauma, identity, relationships, neurobiology, meaning-making, and overarching systems all shape identities and the ways that we move through the world. Sindhu believes that therapy is the process of understanding these factors that lead us toward a path of change. Navigating your mental health is not something that you have to do alone. The journey and struggles are complex and it is an honor to be invited to join you on that path. If you are ready to do the work, schedule an appointment with Sindhu today.
