Getting to know Sanjana Iyer
The provider is supervised by Parthi Patel.
I specialize in anxiety, identity exploration, and intergenerational trauma for BIPOC, South Asian, LGBTQIA+, and children of immigrants in Dallas. As a Licensed Professional Counselor Associate, I help adolescents and young adults navigate cultural expectations, family pressures, and bicultural identity struggles.
Using mindfulness, narrative therapy, expressive arts, and creative approaches (art, music, dreamwork, storytelling), I help clients process anxiety, stress, depression, life transitions, and relationship challenges. Together, we'll create a safe space where you can reclaim your voice, explore your authentic identity, and build confidence—without judgment.
Whether you're struggling with quarter-life crisis, coming out, imposter syndrome, or feeling stuck between two worlds, therapy can help you move from surviving to thriving.
What should a new client know about working with you?
Therapy with me doesn't feel clinical—it's collaborative, creative, and often lighthearted. Your story matters here, including cultural pressures, family expectations, and identity questions. I meet you with warmth, curiosity, and humor.
**What makes therapy different with me:**
- I integrate creative exercises (art, music, writing) alongside traditional talk therapy
- We can do walk-and-talk sessions outdoors if that feels more comfortable
- Mindfulness and body-centered practices help you reconnect with yourself
- You'll get practical coping tools, not just insight
I accept most major insurance plans and offer virtual sessions across Texas, plus limited in-person/walk-and-talk in Dallas. Evening and weekend appointments available. Book online or call—usually available within 1-2 weeks.
What is your typical process for working with clients?
**First Session (60-90 min):**
We'll explore your background, current challenges, and therapy goals. I'll ask about your cultural context, family dynamics, and what brings you in now. This is also where you get to know my style and see if we're a good fit.
**Sessions 2-4:**
We build trust, identify patterns (anxiety triggers, self-esteem struggles, family pressures), and begin using creative and mindfulness techniques tailored to you.
**Ongoing Work:**
Therapy becomes collaborative—we'll use narrative therapy, expressive arts, mindfulness, and reflective dialogue to process emotions, develop coping skills, and explore identity. Sessions adapt to your needs and pace.
**What you can expect:**
- A judgment-free space that honors your cultural identity
- Practical tools you can use between sessions
- Creative approaches (not just talking)
- Flexibility to adjust techniques based on what works for you
- Progress toward authenticity, confidence, and clarity
**Typical timeline:** Most clients notice shifts within 4-6 sessions, though deeper identity work takes longer. We'll check in regularly about what's working.
