Nisha Sundararaj(She/Her/Hers)

Creating room to discover who you are—and allowing yourself to grow in the environment you’re in—is essential. I work with individuals exploring concerns related to minority identity, immigrant-family expectations, being a child of immigrants, cultural imposter syndrome, trauma, major life transitions, and mental health challenges, including the shame and stigma that often accompany them.

I have extensive experience supporting college and graduate students, including many international students adapting to life in the United States and the pressures of higher education. I am also dedicated to helping women who are planning for pregnancy, coping with fertility or infertility issues, adjusting to motherhood, and navigating experiences of domestic violence or sexual assault. I support adults facing relationship challenges, career or life transitions, anxiety, depression, grief, loss, and existential questions. My approach is eclectic—drawing from multiple therapeutic methods, including EMDR—to tailor treatment to each person’s unique experiences, goals, readiness, and needs. My work centers on understanding and addressing the impact of various forms of trauma.

Choosing a therapist can feel daunting and overwhelming. Many of us reach points in life where emotional struggles require professional support. My priority is to be approachable and responsive to my clients’ needs. I’m here to walk alongside you and support the choices that feel right for your life.
