Raise your hand if you grew up hearing: “We don’t do that in this family/culture,” “Mental health issues are just laziness,” or “You are fine, stop being dramatic.” I can assure that your feelings are valid!
My name is Prav and I am so proud of you for taking the first step towards recovery and living your best life. It takes an immense amount of courage to admit to needing help and I thank you for taking time to take care of yourself!
I believe that all achievements, no matter the size, deserve to be celebrated. I tend to use a more casual tone and love incorporating humor into my work, and can become serious when appropriate.
I am a firm believer that the self and society are interconnected and both must be taken into account when working on self-improvement. Being part of communities helps us stay curious about ourselves. I work from a diversity-informed and multicultural lens and want to help destigmatize mental healthcare across minority communities throughout my career.
As the daughter of South Asian immigrants, I understand the struggle that comes from navigating multicultural norms and creating a blended identity. Mental health IS health, and you can count on me to be in your corner. If you are looking for someone who is approachable, fun, empathetic, and wants to listen... you’ve found yourself the right clinician!
