Therapists in Los Angeles, CA

Hi, my name is Anushri, pronounced as “ah-noo-shree”. I am a firm believer of Irvin Yalom’s statement which says, “It’s the relationship that heals”. My active and reflective listening aids to empathize with clients and develop a strong therapeutic alliance. My approach to psychotherapy is client-centered and culturally sensitive that focuses on tailoring treatment to client's unique needs and value system in order to promote healing and bring out the necessary change.

I'M NOT good enough, I'M NOT lovable, & I'M not WORTHY! Sound familiar? Does it look "PERFECT" on the outside but you struggle internally? Does something feel off even though it seems life is all together? We live in a fast-paced world. The expectation is for us to have everything together: the perfect relationship, job, home, friends, body, high self-esteem, and social media life. - - - - - - - - - - - - The reality is, we have real emotions, feelings, and life challenges. Even the strongest of us need some support in forcing our inner self-sabtoging critic to sashay away. Together, let's create the life you've always wanted.

Therapy can be an effective tool for overcoming emotional and psychological challenges that arise in your life. Therapy helps to uncover what keeps you there and move you towards a happier and healthier life. Everyone can heal their past and create a brighter future.

This may not be an easy time in your life and I respect your courage to reach out for help. Hiding fear of failure or family pressure to be perfect and make it look effortless is a daily struggle. I know you can be overwhelmed. Frustrated and angry. I have lived it and have decades of experience. After facing the pressure from parents, peers, or yourself, you need a place to sort out who you are and how you fit into these pieces. You may be looking for a safe place to work through your challenges, such as when you are experiencing anxiety or depression, or even a unique cultural experience that you feel nobody understands.

Reaching out for help can be a scary first step, and you are so courageous to be doing so. Every person will face challenges in life in their own unique way. Sometimes we experience so much difficulty dealing with them and end up feeling sad, anxious, frustrated, stuck, or overwhelmed. My goal is to meet you exactly where you are and help you navigate whatever life has thrown your way. I integrate various therapuetic modalities based on the needs of my clients with the goal to help them reduce symptoms of anxiety or depression, better understand themselves, build healthy coping skills, and improve their interpersonal relationships.

You find yourself consumed by your thoughts, generally future-tripping or ruminating about the past. It's a real struggle to be present and focus. Your thought process is exhausting; decisions are hard to make and you lack clarity. It's as if you lost yourself somewhere along the way and feel disconnected from your authentic self. I understand what you are experiencing and I want you to know, there is hope! I guide people struggling with anxiety, perfectionism, fear, and self-doubt to get unstuck, find inner calm, build confidence, and re-connect to their amazing, radiant, and joyful self so they can move forward in their lives.
