I am Sindhu Elagandhala (they/them & she/her), a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC). I have years of experience and am passionate about working with clients navigating comorbidities of mood, anxiety, personality, and trauma disorders, as well as those seeking to integrate neurotypes such as ADHD and autism. I work with adults, couples, and families who are motivated for the work of therapy.
I completed my Master's degree (MA) and Education Specialist (Ed.S) degrees at James Madison University. I engage in creative therapies that primarily utilize tools from emotion-focused therapy (EFT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), internal family systems (IFS), trauma-informed therapy (TIF), and attachment-based (ABT) frameworks.
Individual experiences, trauma, identity, relationships, neurobiology, meaning-making, and overarching systems all shape identities and the ways that we move through the world. I believe that therapy is the process of understanding these factors that leads us towards a path of change.
