Hello! I'm Praachi, an Associate Marriage and Family Therapist (AMFT) and Associate Professional Clinical Counselor (APCC) with a passion for fostering growth and resilience. With a warm and empathetic presence, I guide individuals through life's challenges, empowering them to thrive and reach their goals. Drawing from a diverse toolkit, including attachment theory, DBT, CBT, mindfulness, Gottman theory, and motivational interviewing, I tailor each session to support clients in realizing their full potential. My mission is to cultivate connections, provide unconditional support, and help with stressors to create meaningful change.

I understand relationships are complex and they need to be nurtured. Couples can learn positive interactions and repair past hurts. Therapy helps to improve friendship, deepen emotional connection and creates change which help couples enhance their shared goals.

Welcome! I am passionate about my work and take great pride in the therapeutic relationships I have built overtime with my clients, which is why I believe in tailoring counseling to each individuals unique needs. Therapy is most effective when a trusting relationship exists between a counselor & the client. Some relationships hurt us while others are meant to heal. I believe that my job isn't to tell you what to do or how you live your life but to provide a safe, trusting environment where you express yourself & have an experience of being listened to without judgment & together we come up with creative solutions.

I feel passionate and confident that I can help those that are looking to make a change and become a better version of themselves. My expertise in culturally diverse clients, conflict management as well as marital and partner issues can help those struggling with communication, self regulation and environmental stress. We can work together to help uncover what keeps you stuck and move you towards a happier and healthier life.

Reaching out for help can be a scary first step, and you are so courageous to be doing so. Every person will face challenges in life in their own unique way. Sometimes we experience so much difficulty dealing with them and end up feeling sad, anxious, frustrated, stuck, or overwhelmed. My goal is to meet you exactly where you are and help you navigate whatever life has thrown your way. I integrate various therapuetic modalities based on the needs of my clients with the goal to help them reduce symptoms of anxiety or depression, better understand themselves, build healthy coping skills, and improve their interpersonal relationships.

Are you or your partner seeking to improve your relationship, resolve conflicts, or deepen your connection? I specialize in helping couples navigate the complexities of relationships in a safe & supportive environment. Services include pre-marital counseling and support for couples in crisis that are dealing with infidelity, separation, and/or parenting issues.

By learning about different love languages, emotional triggers, effective time out and self soothing strategies leading to healthier relationship.
