I also support clients who are navigating in vitro fertilization (IVF) and a challenging fertility journey. I help my clients create a more balanced, meaningful, and fun life for themselves.

**I have a limited number of in-person and telehealth sessions available. Please contact me to see if I am a good match and our schedules align.** My initial goal in therapy is to deeply understand the unique individual sitting across from me. I take a holistic approach to this task. I understand that the mind, body, spirit, and relationships are all connected and impacted by one another. I think of my clients as more than just a collection of problems and diagnoses. I want to understand your strengths and talents as well as your struggles and areas for growth. I also want to understand where you have come from and where you would like to go. As we better understand how your life story impacts your current feelings, motivations, and relationships, you will likely experience increased self-acceptance and the ability to make to make better decisions about your future. Intellectual insight alone, although useful, is often not enough to allow clients to fully make the kinds of life changes that they desire. Consequently, I also utilize methods from more action-oriented approaches to therapy that focus on obtaining new skills and practicing new behaviors. These skills are often focused on learning new ways of managing difficult feelings and improving communication and intimacy in relationships. I believe that a therapist and client should work together as a team. I will bring my energy, experience, and compassion to the therapeutic relationship. I ask you for openness, honesty, curiosity, and a willingness to experiment with new ways of thinking, feeling, and behaving. My goal is to work with you to help you achieve a greater sense of happiness, peace, integrity, and satisfaction in your life.
From my perspective life is about learning and growing. We have continual opportunities to learn and grow. Sometimes this means accepting ourselves and our situation with more realistic expectations- grieving or forgiving ourselves or others. Sometimes this means making a conscious choice about how we want to live differently and having the courage to make the first steps in that direction. As my mentor therapist used to say---- a therapist's role is to comfort the discomforted and discomfort the comfortable- we need both at different times. My role is to help guide you and walk with you in your journey. Thank you for the privilege and honor of walking with you and helping you navigate life in more balanced and authentic ways!
When we feel stuck in our lives, for weeks, or years, it can take a toll on us in ways we may not see. Time passes and we don't feel any further in our life. We're left feeling exhausted and alone in our pain. My name is Ryan, and I provide therapy for people who are looking to break free.

My job is to guide you through the things that have been holding you back in your life.

Together, we’ll explore what’s holding you back, uncover your innate wisdom, and empower you to move forward in a way that feels true to you. I specialize in working with people who tend to prioritize others’ needs above their own, those navigating anxiety or Obsessive Compulsion (OCD), and anyone going through life stage transitions.

When we work together, you can expect a supportive and collaborative relationship. I’ll meet you where you are, tailoring our sessions to what you need most, whether that’s practical tools to manage anxiety, gentle guidance to set boundaries, or space to process and reflect. I’ll challenge you when it’s helpful and offer insights to help you see things from a fresh perspective, but I’ll always follow your pace and respect your boundaries. My goal is to help you feel more empowered, confident, and grounded—not just in therapy, but in your everyday life. If you’re ready to start, or if you’re curious to learn more, I’d love to connect and see if we’re a good fit. Therapy is a partnership, and finding the right therapist is an important step. You deserve to work with someone who understands and supports you fully. I offer a free 30-minute consultation for anyone looking to explore more details about my services and therapeutic style.

Sindhu Elagandhala (theythem and sheher) is 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 conditions, 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 for the work of therapy.
You know something needs to change, but you are not sure where to start. The anxiety has become a daily weight. The trauma you thought time would heal still surfaces in ways you did not expect, in your relationships, your sleep, your ability to feel like yourself. The strategies you have relied on, staying busy, pushing through, trying to manage it alone, are running out of steam. And the idea of sitting in a therapist's office rehashing the same surface-level conversations does not exactly inspire confidence. I get it. That is exactly why I built my practice the way I did. I am Dr. Ashvind Adkins Singh, a licensed clinical psychologist with over 15 years of experience and doctoral training in both neuropsychology and psychopharmacology. What that means in plain terms: I understand how your brain, your nervous system, and your life history all interact to create the patterns that keep you stuck. I do not just help you "cope." I help you understand the machinery behind your distress so you can actually change it. My clinical work sits at the intersection of three areas that most therapists treat separately: evidence-based psychotherapy, mindfulness practices backed by decades of my own published research, and deep experiential work that goes beyond traditional talk therapy. I developed the THRIVE Model, a structured treatment framework for trauma recovery that helps clients move from surviving to genuinely thriving. It is built on clinical science, grounded in how the brain actually processes and stores traumatic experience, and designed to create lasting change rather than temporary relief. Many of my clients come to me because they want therapy that goes deeper than coping strategies. They are people who are ready to actually understand what is driving their anxiety, their trauma responses, or their sense of being stuck, and they want a therapist who can explain the "why" behind what they are experiencing. I bring the rigor of a researcher (77+ peer-reviewed publications), the perspective of an international advisor, and the presence of a clinician who has worked in settings ranging from state hospitals to private practice. For clients interested in psychedelic-assisted approaches, I also offer specialized integration support informed by both clinical training and published research. I specialize in anxiety, trauma and PTSD, depression, and the kind of emotional exhaustion that builds up when life demands more than your current tools can handle. My approach draws from cognitive-behavioral methods, mindfulness-based interventions, neuropsychological assessment, and integrative frameworks. I also offer services via telehealth across 27+ states through PSYPACT, in addition to in-person sessions in California and Virginia. My clients often tell me that working together feels different from past therapy. It is direct, collaborative, and grounded in science without feeling cold or clinical. I take the time to understand not just what you are feeling but why your brain is producing those feelings, and then we work together to shift the underlying patterns. If you are ready for therapy that actually matches the way you think, I would welcome the chance to talk. Reach out today to schedule a consultation.
