Avni has been an incredibly supportive and helpful therapist over the past year. Working with her has been invaluable to my well-being. She is caring, thoughtful, and compassionate, and I always felt at ease and safe in her presence. I especially appreciated the way she encouraged me to use art and creativity as a way to connect with parts of myself that needed care, compassion, and attention. Through our work together, she helped me gain deeper insight into my own inner wisdom and healing process. I recommend her without hesitation.

Sofya has helped me navigate some very difficult relationship dynamics during a stressful time in my life. She supported me in slowing down, using reason, and better understanding my emotional reactions in a nonjudgmental space. She helped me recognize old patterns, find language for wounds I had difficulty naming, lessen my self-criticism, and look at myself and my relationships from a more open, compassionate, and grounded perspective. I reccomend her without hisitation!

Working with Pericles has helped me slow down and make sense of things I often struggled to put into words. He brings warmth, patience, and insight to each session, and I always leave feeling more grounded and connected to myself.

I appreciate Pericles’ wisdom, thoughtfulness, and authenticity. I’ve learned a lot from him and can feel his genuine desire to help me grow. He is great at going beneath what’s on the surface and noticing patterns and dynamics that are easy for me to miss. I cannot recommend him enough!!!

Shreeja is very patient and personable, great qualities to have in a therapist! I would definitely recommend her.

ANVerified patient

Shreeja Vachhani is calm, kind, and compassionate. She is very dedicated to her work and has a warm presence.

MSVerified patient

I highly recommend Shreeja as a therapist. She is compassionate, professional, and deeply committed to providing the best possible care for her clients. One of her greatest strengths is her dedication to continued learning, she takes the time to thoroughly research conditions and treatment approaches to ensure her clients receive thoughtful, evidence-based support. Her ability to balance genuine warmth with clinical expertise helps clients feel both understood and empowered.

RMVerified patient

I have had the opportunity to work alongside Shreeja professionally, and she consistently impressed me with her ability to understand what each of her clients was experiencing and why. She thoughtfully tailors her work to the specific needs of each individual and does so with creativity and care. She brings genuine passion to her work, and her ability to identify what clients’ need and respond effectively sets her apart. I would recommend her without hesitation to anyone seeking support.

NDVerified patient

Shreeja is an amazing human. Kind, empathetic, and extremely intuitive. She has a rare ability to make people feel seen by picking up on things others miss - a shift in tone, something left unsaid - and respond in a way that makes you feel like she’s actually been paying attention. What stays with you after talking to her is the combination of warmth and sharpness. She’s patient and easy to talk to, but she’s also asking the kinds of questions that make you think. She reflects things back clearly and trust builds fast around her. I think it’s because she listens like she means it. If you need someone who is genuinely compassionate and genuinely perceptive, she’s a strong recommendation.

RKVerified patient

As a former colleague of Shreeja, I wholeheartedly recommend her as a clinician. She strives to support her patients in ways that match their values and lifestyle, while fostering a positive therapeutic relationship. Shreeja is thoughtful about her treatment options and will ensure that the patients needs and goals remain the top priority.

EDVerified patient

I’ve had the pleasure of knowing the person behind Transcendent Self Therapy personally, and one of the qualities that truly stands out is her deep understanding of human behaviour, relationships, and emotional wellbeing. She has a natural ability to help people see situations from different perspectives and approach challenges with greater clarity and self-awareness. Her strong academic background, including her LMSW degree, along with her professional training and experience in this field, are clearly reflected in the way she communicates and supports others. She is highly knowledgeable when it comes to identifying behavioural patterns, understanding recurring emotional responses, and guiding people towards healthier ways of thinking and coping. Even in personal conversations, she has been insightful, thoughtful, and supportive. I genuinely believe her compassion, expertise, and understanding make her exceptionally well-suited to helping others through therapy and personal growth.

I have grown so much since working with Irene. It’s my first time in therapy, and she has helped me feel more and more comfortable opening up, which is normally not the easiest thing for me.

She takes a holistic approach and has helped me improve in different areas of my life; I have developed deeper relationships and made some important life and career decisions while working with her.
