Getting to know Gayathri Chandran

I work with adults navigating anxiety, depression, OCD, relationship challenges, and questions of cultural and racial identity. My approach blends psychodynamic and narrative therapy, along with CBT and exposure-based interventions, to help understand longstanding patterns while building practical tools you can use in daily life. My focus is on creating real change and concrete, workable strategies. I've practiced in private practice, community health centers, and Ivy League medical centers, giving me a broad view of how people heal across different settings and a genuine appreciation for working with diverse populations. If you are struggling to manage, I'd love to help you find your way through. I look forward to being on this journey with you.

What should a new client know about working with you?

Therapy with me is very collaborative and interactive, with you being an active partner in setting the tone I direction. I aim to provide a practical approach so you can see short term relief while continuing to work towards deeper, longer-term change.

What is your typical process for working with clients?

After you request an appointment, I will reach out to you the same day to ensure you are seen in a timely manner. Therapeutic alliance is critical, so I also offer a 15-minute free consultation call to ensure we are a good fit. I look forward to working with you!
