It is normal to struggle at times throughout your life, but can be difficult to ask for help with these struggles. This is why I consider my work as a counselor a privilege, striving to treat each client with dignity, respect and humor. In my 15 years of work as a counselor, I have found most people have the strength and creativity to meet their needs and recover. Counseling is simply seeking guidance from another to gain hope and uncover this resiliency.

If you have decided to seek professional help you have accomplished the first step. You have been courageous & will now embark on a journey of self-discovery. Finding the most suitable therapist is the second step. I tailor my therapeutic approach to the needs of my clients; I believe that each person should be treated as an individual and that each individual has their own set of needs. I work together with my clients to figure out what those needs are while building trusting, judgment free relationships and through the use of humor whenever possible.

I believe that through collaboration with the therapist each person can find their true motivation and can navigate their way towards the change by using their inner resources and, if need be, through learning new skills. Be it an emotional challenge or upheaval, a relationship issue or stress, one should not have to do it alone and moving on in life can be possible.

Waitlist for new clients
I work with children, teens, and adults. Over nearly 30 years, I find the uniqueness of each person, and am authentic in my approach. I have helped clients overcome depression, understand and manage their anxiety, and work through significant trauma in their lives. Many people from Asia, Africa, and Europe have worked with me very successfully as they transition to the US. My work is finished when clients feel in better control of their moods, habits, and thoughts, they have sustaining purpose(s) in their daily life, and when they experience their social connections as fulfilling and satisfying. I believe in the power of therapy.

Women constantly struggle trying to meet the demands of society. Whether married or single, child-free or have a full household, it feels like a never-ending list of “to-dos”. Waking up to a flurry of thoughts, running moment to moment attempting to be present in your life while constantly jumping to the next thing … it’s a race of survival at times. How is it that all the other women around you seem like they’ve got it together? Well, they don’t.

I am a licensed mental health counselor with over 13 years of experience in the field. I work with adults struggling with depression, anxiety, and life changes. It is my belief that sometimes just having an objective person to talk to is all a person needs to realize his or her potential, inner conflicts and increase self esteem. As a first generation American to immigrant parents, I also work with multicultural issues that young adults often face. My specialties include but are not limited to opioid dependence, dual diagnosis, anxiety, depression, and trauma. Please email me at nsondhi@partners-in-therapy.net.
