Hey there! I'm Ravina Wadhwani, licensed therapist (LPCC), survivor, and published poet. I'm a first-generation, proud South Asian woman-identifying therapist, who believes that therapy can be a safe space to heal from the unspeakable things that make us feel disconnected from ourselves, far from our purpose, and that have somehow managed to remove us from the track we wish to be on.

I use a person-centered, compassionate approach that emphasizes your needs, goals, and the things that work best for you.

My approach is collaborative, client-centered, strength-based, and solution-focused. Mazu Master, Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT)

As an Asian-American therapist, I aim to provide therapy that shows awareness and honors multicultural family dynamics, especially around boundaries, attachment, and loss.
Sometimes, we get stuck in patterns that might have been helpful at some point in our lives but are not so helpful to us now. These patterns show up in the ways we respond in our relationships, in work/school, to challenges, and to ourselves. We’ll approach therapy as collaborators to build up your skills and strengths to get you unstuck. In our work together, we'll gently explore the past, so we can create an action plan for a different future. We'll recontextualize what no longer serves you and make space for your curious, creative self to emerge.

My lived experience as a mother, sister, South Asian, child of immigrants, who experiences chronic illness, contributes to how I can show up and hold space for people who I work with.
Caring for others and adapting yourself to "make it easier for them" comes at a price. As a parent, caregiver and a child of immigrants, it is often the case. I work collaboratively with you to uncover and make sense of confusing or conflicting desires, thoughts, and feelings and explore relationship patterns that are not working anymore. To find solutions to calm your nervous system and help you move past critical self-judgments and behaviors can give a sense of freedom and reconnection. I support people who are experiencing life transitions, chronic illness, struggles with communication in personal relationships.

As an Asian therapist, I not only have familiarity but I am culturally affirming for APIDA individuals.

If you're looking for an understanding therapist who is familiar with the unique struggles that Asian Americans face, I am happy to join with you on your journey of healing.
I work with Asian American individuals and couples around relationship issues. Most of my clients are thriving in their careers, but they want more. They want meaningful and deep connections. They want to be seen and accepted for who they are. But as Asians living in the US, being seen and understood is often complicated by cultural misunderstandings, holding conflicting values and identities, communication differences, prejudice and racism, intergenerational trauma, and immigration issues.

Why is it important for a therapist to be culturally sensitive?
A culturally sensitive therapist would be respectful and considerate of different groups, with regard to race, sexual orientation, gender, and other factors that are important to an individual. These considerations can help a client feel understood as well as validated. While some people think highlighting race could promote stereotypes and bias, more understanding and knowledge about cultural differences is a positive for a healthy therapeutic alliance.
How can I recognize an effective Asian therapist?
You can discern a lot by asking how familiar the potential therapist is with different cultures, as well as asking how they might address issues related to identity, values, and beliefs. Also inquire about their education, as well as any particular training they may have completed, such as cultural sensitivity or diversity and inclusion programs.
What if the therapist does not have my exact background?
The therapist may not share a client’s exact background, but the therapist may have plenty of hands-on experience as well as the sensitivity needed for therapeutic progress. Their sensitivity to different populations will help the client feel accepted and comfortable in sharing their concerns and difficulties.
How might I inquire about a therapist's experience with Asian clients?
A therapist with an Asian background may have experience within their community, as well as broader cultural sensitivity. Ask the potential therapist whether they've worked with individuals who share your background. If they have not worked with similar clients, they may well know someone who has such experience.
Who is included in Psychology Today's directory of Asian therapists?
The directory of Asian therapists includes professionals who have shared their ethnicity in their profiles. Psychology Today uses this information to assist clients in finding a therapist who can provide a cultural match. However, not all therapists choose to disclose their ethnicity in their profiles, and they may not appear in search results for this reason; also, when the number of therapists identified as Asian is limited, the directory will also show therapists with comprehensive experience working with clients from relevant backgrounds.
