Sharmila Chitnis
Introduction
Psychotherapy provides a path to better understand the connection between our thoughts, emotions, physiology, and behaviors. I work with individuals from all backgrounds, specializing in anxiety, depression, trauma, grief/loss, identity concerns, career, and life transitions. My goals include helping clients develop healthier coping strategies, explore how current struggles may be linked to unresolved issues from the past, and improve relationships with self and others. I’m also an EMDRIA certified EMDR therapist & Approved Consultant (in Training), offering consultation to therapists working toward EMDR certification. I use approaches like relational EMDR, IFS, somatic therapy, and mindfulness. I don’t believe in a one-size-fits-all approach. Each person is unique, with individual needs, beliefs, cultures, and experiences. We face challenges in different ways, so I tailor treatment to reflect each person’s strengths and coping abilities. I understand that starting therapy can feel intimidating. It takes courage to be vulnerable, face the unknown, and explore deep emotions. That’s why I prioritize building trust by creating a safe, empathetic, and non-judgmental space for healing. I look forward to working with you.
