Getting to know Sahana Sriram
Sahana is committed to working with individuals and couples from diverse backgrounds who are battling loneliness, depression, trauma, anxiety, and other stressors, helping them live, work, and love fully. She specializes in supporting first- and second-generation immigrants, international students, couples, women of color, and victims of abuse. Sahana thrives in guiding her clients through the complexities of acculturation, career stressors, identity, relational conflict, and trauma as they pursue achievement and fulfillment. An immigrant, South Asian, neurodivergent, bisexual woman from India, Sahana brings her unique perspective to her work. She holds a Master's degree in Mental Health Counseling from Columbia University.
What should a new client know about working with you?
Along with supporting her clients individually, she works as a Diversity, Equity and Inclusion consultant to drive systemic change at organizations. Prior to her clinical work, she worked as an educator, coach and program leader at Teach For India supporting underserved communities. Her background and lived experiences lead her to use a social justice and pedagogical lens to treatment that includes art, learning experiences and play.
She believes that ineffective systems, traumas and relationships from our past can cause us to construct defense mechanisms and therefore learning to parent yourself can help you lead and love yourself with authenticity and conviction. Therefore she leverages an internal family systems and psychodynamic approach to therapy.
What is your typical process for working with clients?
In the first session I will complete an intake assessment to gather as much information to better assess and get to know you, your history, and what concerns have brought you to therapy and therefore set up goals. The following sessions, we will engage in talk therapy while pulling from various modalities to help you achieve your goals. Our sessions are 45 min in length on a weekly basis.
Please allow 15 minutes before the session to do the intake paperwork.
I PROVIDE PSYCHOTHERAPY SERVICES ONLY; PLEASE NOTE I DON’T PROVIDE MEDICATION MANAGEMENT SERVICES.
