Swetha Vajapey, PsyD

Psychologist
CA
I believe that people are innate problem-solvers. However, in order to solve problems successfully, we need three key ingredients: information, capacity, and skills. People often tell me they have a sense of what to do but struggle to implement those solutions for reasons they don’t fully understand. Ideally, therapy isn’t about solving the problem for you; it’s about exploring the problem with you. Most importantly, therapy is about honing your ability to develop your methods to get skills. I like to describe my therapeutic stance as being an editor of the story you’re writing — they’re your words and it’s your story, but one can get lost in how to be an effective storyteller. A good editor serves as a guide to help you, the author, produce your best work. I'm a therapist with Octave and Evernorth Behavioral Care Group. Octave is a mental health practice providing high-quality care covered by multiple insurances. Evernorth Behavioral Care Group is a behavioral health provider group in-network with Cigna Healthcare and Evernorth Behavioral Health. For my availability, please see my calendar and book an appointment with me via ZocDoc.
