Testimonials from clients and colleagues

  • "I had the privilege of working with Nalini for over a year and was able to observe her interactions with clients during that time. She is extremely empathetic and supportive of those around her, and especially towards clients with who she works. Nalini is well versed in several therapeutic styles, including DBT, MI, and CBT, and is able to adjust her style depending on what her client needs, and she is never hesitant to take more training to increase her skills. Her presence is genuine and she uses it to show her clients the unconditional positive regard they need to build rapport and work towards the goals that the clients have set for themselves. I would highly recommend Nalini to anyone seeking therapy, whether their needs are coping with life's adjustments, to significant mental illnesses."
