Smitha Gandra, LMFT - Therapy for Individuals & Couples

Have you noticed feeling stuck in the same patterns and cycles with relationships in your life? Straddling more than one identity? Feeling the effects of inter-generational trauma, but not knowing where to go with it?

Therapy is a great place to start working through these experiences. We will come together and talk about where you are at and where you want to go. We will work on how to notice trigger points, what your discomfort is saying, and how to communicate that to others. To have the experience of being understood is life-changing, and I will help you get there. Let’s put the pieces together and give you the space to build a more integrated life.

Have you been feeling distant in your relationship or maybe going through a transition? That you and your partner have lost meaningful connection? Maybe falling into toxic and negative patterns that feel never ending?

I recognize that it may feel easier to avoid one another than to feel the pain of the relationship strain: where it once was and where it is now. This is where couples therapy can help. I will guide you through these tough terrains by giving your relationship specialized attention and tools to build new patterns that will help you and your partner understand one another from a more loving and thoughtful space.

One of the biggest transitions in your life is taking place and you can easily feel lost, scared, and anxious. You may be feeling overwhelmed by the “advice” coming your way and not know how to organize it.

Therapy can help. I will provide a space where you can safely share your feelings and thoughts. Together we will hold your experiences so you don’t have to feel the burden on your own, and you have energy to give to other aspects of your life. My hope is that you will feel lighter and stronger so you can fully take in this extraordinary time in your life.
