Hi there, I'm Chandrika! I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and the founder of Simpli Speaking Counseling, LLC. I provide individual and couples therapy for adults (18+) navigating anxiety, grief, depression, and relationship challenges. My mission is to create a welcoming, nonjudgmental space where you feel safe to share, heal, and grow while simply speaking, without pressure. My approach I take a strengths-based and client-centered approach to care, recognizing that every person’s journey is unique. I primarily use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), working with you to explore how your thoughts and behaviors impact your emotional well-being. Together, we’ll challenge unhelpful patterns and build healthier coping strategies that support your goals and growth. My focus I specialize in working with adults experiencing anxiety, grief and loss, depression, and relationship issues, including infidelity, marital conflict, and separation. I’m also passionate about supporting couples through transitions like premarital preparation or divorce. If you're feeling overwhelmed, disconnected, or stuck, I’m here to help you navigate the path toward healing and clarity. My communication style My communication style is calm, clear, and compassionate. I actively listen and create space for open, honest conversations where you feel heard and respected. Whether we’re addressing painful memories or building new skills, I maintain a supportive and collaborative tone throughout your journey. My journey to mental healthcare My journey into therapy began with a deep commitment to helping others find peace and strength during life’s most difficult moments. I’ve worked in the mental health field for over 12 years, serving individuals and families across different life stages. My passion for this work is rooted in the belief that everyone has the potential to heal, grow, and become the best version of themselves. I’m honored to walk alongside my clients on their journey to healing.
