Welcome! I am currently accepting new clients. It may have been hard for you to take this first step in seeking help. I want to ease your mind. I believe that treating the whole person is essential to providing the best care. I provide a multifaceted collaborative approach to treatment and concentrate on an individual strengths. Many times we go through life feeling stuck or in a state of limbo, but when we begin to explore the reasons and underlying issues, it can become clear what exactly is standing between oneself and the goal. I provide both therapeutic and assessment services.
I work with children, adolescents, young adults and adults, including couples and families. I am available to address issues regarding stress management, relationship concerns, underperformance at school/work, life transitions and general issues regarding fulfillment. I am proficient in ASL, and will utilize it in therapy with clients who are Deaf or HH.
I have in person as well as virtual appointments available. I practice telepsychology under the authority of PSYPACT in the following states AL, AZ, CO, DE, DC, GA, Il, KY, MN, MO, NE, NV, NH, NC, OH, OK, PA, TN, TX, UT, VA. Please reach out if you are in need of services.
Call or Ruchi Bhargava now for a free 15 minute consultation - (301) 205-5386
