Getting to know Sirribi Atanga
Sirribi Atanga has over eight years of experience working with various demographics. She utilizes a trauma-informed approach, a strengths-based approach, cultural understanding, and sensitivity to enhance your social, emotional, and psychological well-being.
In our work together, I approach therapy with cultural humility, honoring your unique background, values, and lived experiences. I create a collaborative and nonjudgmental space where we can explore your goals at a pace that feels right for you. My approach integrates evidence-based modalities to address trauma, anxiety, and mood-related concerns — to foster resilience, clarity, and emotional well-being.
I specialize in working with individuals navigating anxiety, trauma, relationship challenges, loneliness, and major life stressors. My ideal clients are those who may feel overwhelmed, stuck, or disconnected — but who are open to exploring their inner world and building tools for lasting change. Whether you’re struggling with racing thoughts, unresolved pain, or the weight of feeling alone, I offer a supportive, grounded space where healing and growth are possible. Together, we’ll work toward helping you feel more empowered, connected, and at peace with yourself.
What should a new client know about working with you?
I bring a warm, nonjudgmental, and collaborative tone to therapy. My communication style is direct but compassionate — I aim to meet you where you are while gently challenging patterns that may no longer serve you. I value transparency, active listening, and creating a safe space where you feel heard, respected, and supported. Whether we’re navigating heavy emotions or celebrating progress, I strive to build trust and openness in every session.
Before I became a licensed clinical social worker, I spent a lot of time volunteering in my community; I have always had a deep desire and strong commitment to making a meaningful difference in the lives of those around me. My commitment to the field of clinical social work reflects a combination of personal values, experiences, and an unwavering passion for contributing to the welfare of others and society as a whole.
What is your typical process for working with clients?
I help clients set and reach treatment goals by first identifying what truly matters to them — whether it’s finding relief from anxiety, improving relationships, healing from trauma, or building confidence. We collaborate to create goals that feel meaningful, realistic, and flexible. Throughout treatment, I check in regularly to track progress, adjust strategies, and celebrate wins — big or small. My approach is strengths-based and empowering, so you feel supported and motivated as you move toward the changes you want
In our first session, I focus on creating a comfortable, open space where you can share what’s bringing you to therapy at your own pace. I complete an assessment with you; we'll explore your goals, current challenges, and any relevant history that feels important to you. I’ll also ask some guiding questions to help me understand how I can best support you. You’re welcome to ask me questions, too — the first session is about building trust and getting a feel for whether we’re a good fit. There’s no pressure to have it all figured out — we take it one step at a time.
