Getting to know Sonica Thakur
?What one person has to offer to another, is their own being, nothing more, nothing less? - Ram Dass.
My therapeutic approach is a strength-based perspective that focuses on a person's innate potential rather than pathologies and shortfalls. Consistent with this approach, my role as a therapist lies not in solving problems but in helping clients examine inhibited issues and biases, identify practical solutions to their problems, and progress toward deeper wisdom.
I have worked with adults, children, and families. This experience has included clients of various ethnicities and addressed a range of mental health issues, interpersonal relationship problems, and life transitions. I draw on my 15 years of experience in travel journalism and Corporate America, which helps me support clients as they navigate workplace stress and success, endure layoffs, reevaluate priorities, and make renewed efforts toward new beginnings.
My therapeutic style is adaptive to the individual needs of my clients. I believe the process of change is an ongoing dialogue. This process can be brief or longer term, depending on the client's needs. Sometimes I use mindfulness techniques to supplement therapy.
I hold a Master's degree in Counseling Psychology from Santa Clara University and a Bachelor's degree from the University of Delhi, which provide a strong foundation for my work with diverse populations and complex challenges.

More information on payments and coverage
Payment is due after each session and will be charged with your card on file for any portion of patient responsibility. Receipts will be provided at the time of the charge. This typically takes place 2-4 weeks after the session, once your insurance has had a chance to process the claim. We try our best to verify eligibility, but it is ultimately your responsibility to check coverage and out-of-pocket costs for services. For out-of-network visits, you will be billed at the provider’s self-pay rate, and we can provide an invoice for you to submit to your insurance for potential out-of-network reimbursement based on your plan’s benefits.
