Therapy Insights Practice is a group therapy practice located in Midtown West, Manhattan. Our approach is trauma informed/skill based in nature and we apply a wide range of techniques including CBT, DBT, EMDR, SFBT and EFT to address issues including complex trauma, mood/anxiety disorders and relationship issues.

As humans, we tend to avoid our more difficult and complex emotions in hopes that they will disappear. However, it is more often the case that the feelings we turn inward find their way out, and sometimes in a less-than-ideal way. Therapy is a unique space to explore the parts of you that tend to stay hidden. It is a space to “look beneath the hood” to understand more fully who you are and "why" you are. With this newfound insight, we can explore ways for you to engage more fully in your life and relationships, dig into your sense of purpose, and reconnect with (or discover for the first time) feelings of stillness and joy.

Having a partner as you make your way through emotional challenges such as depression, anxiety, and significant life changes can make all the difference.

I have a unique, interdisciplinary background as a seasoned and compassionate holistic psychotherapist (individual, couples, family), divorce/family mediator, child specialist, and divorce coach. I view and treat patients as whole people, integrating Psychodynamic, CBT, DBT, wellness, and Buddhist principles into a tailored holistic approach. Together, these approaches help patients understand and change how their thoughts and emotions impact their behavior. As a mediator, child specialist, and divorce coach, I am committed to helping people avoid court and resolve their differences sensibly and compassionately. I am passionate about minimizing the negative effects of divorce and separation by fostering effective coparenting.

Everyone experiences emotions and situations in life that can be overwhelming, burdening, and anxiety-ridden. Many of these symptoms reflect inner conflicts and desires, but also early attachment patterns. Talking to a professional can help you develop insight and change patterns. My training as a psychodynamic psychotherapist and my previous work in neuroscience have shaped my practice philosophy. I believe that we naturally strive toward growth, safety and making relationships fulfilling. I provide a safe space where we can explore emotional conflicts, and make meaning of them--the basis for change and developing healthier ways of coping.

An interactive relationship is the cornerstone of effective psychotherapy. It is a creative collaboration. I work with people to help relieve pain and find ways of living that feel better and more meaningful. Together we identify and work through problematic issues and patterns that undermine successful living. The overarching goals in therapy are to find relief, deepen insight, generate new opportunities, cultivate healthy experiences and enjoy more fulfilling relationships. With some help, everyone is capable of making positive changes.

As a psychodynamic therapist, I hold that exploring our motivations, inner conflicts and personal histories in a safe context can mobilize greater self-awareness, flexibility, and changes to problematic or painful modes of relating to ourselves and to others. I aim to foster a collaborative and responsive therapeutic environment informed by the specific needs and goals of each of my patients. I take a strengths-based approach and work to scaffold and reinforce the resources that each client brings with them.

Our deepest wounds are beyond words. So are our deepest strengths. When fear, anger, and grief run high, verbal methods aren't enough. Now more than ever, there is a need to repair deep injuries and draw from deep strength. You need a healer who will help you mend from (not cope with) generations of pain - someone who can help you access resources you didn't know you have to make breakthroughs you didn't know were possible. Now more than ever, you're hoping for someone who can go into dark places with you and help you find your light - someone who advocates for you at your worst and brings out your very best.

I have two specialties - Helping couples to improve their relationships and helping people to change. With couples, I start with the belief that caring about each other doesn't always mean understanding each other and that many of us have never learned how to handle conflict effectively in a relationship. For those trying to change, I start with the assumption that we've usually already changed anything that's easy to change and that there are probably obstacles (often ones we are not aware of) to changing things we struggle more with - whether at work, outside of work or both.

Nandini operates from an anti-oppression lens honoring the intersecting identities clients hold, centering autonomy and self-determination. Although holistic, her approach contextualizes each client’s wellbeing within the unique systems (i.e. political, familial, etc.) they navigate. Her eclectic and non-hierarchical orientation draws from feminist-multicultural, person-centered, trauma-informed, and psychodynamic modalities. By centering compassion and non-judgement, Nandini hopes to support the client’s pursuit toward healing, happiness, and ultimately, freedom.

I incorporate a "team" approach in which patient and therapist actively engage in treatment. A professional, warm, and genuine type atmosphere is provided with the goal of maintaining a healthy lifestyle with enhanced coping skills. A cognitive behavioral approach is emphasized, which is problem-focused and direct. Problematic belief systems and behaviors, which are negatively impacting emotional well-being, are targeted.
