Getting to know Rishika Kannan
Rishika Kannan, MS, MHC-LP is a New York State Mental Health Counselor (Limited Permit). She completed her undergraduate degree in Psychology and Biology at The University of St Andrews in Scotland in 2023 and earned her graduate degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from The University of Rochester in 2026, along with an advanced certificate in Mind-Body approaches to Chronic Pain.
She has experience working with clients with OCD using Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) and has training in intensive short-term psychodynamic therapy (ISTDP) and mindfulness-based stress reduction (MBSR). She also incorporates cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) and acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) into her work.
What should a new client know about working with you?
I value the mind-body connection and incorporate an integrative approach when working with clients. I think it is important to address the person as a whole - their mind, body, diet, and community connection. I hope to help clients grow holistically and develop a mindful approach to life. I am a trained yoga teacher and feel that this frames my own perspectives of life and how I work with clients. I also have a multi-cultural background and continue to navigate identity and cultural values. I hope to help clients develop their own understanding of their identities. I take an open, warm, and curious approach - continuing to challenge clients to make the most of their lives.
What is your typical process for working with clients?
It is important for me to get to know my client - I like to do a thorough intake process making sure to cover their upbringing, current situation, identities, cultural background, overall health and goals for therapy. I like to make sure we are both clear on the goals we are working towards to keep us on track and assess for progress along the way. I usually start off with a little more structure to help ground my client and provide a foundation for our relationship to grow. It is important that I form a connection with my client through the process and address what is coming up for them through treatment. As treatment goes on, I find that it becomes more unstructured, existential, and reflective. I try to make space for meaning making processes and helping clients re-integrate into their worlds with purpose and understanding.
