Hello! I am Sandhiya(pronounced Sun-thee-ya) Baladhandapani. I'm a Licensed Professional Counsellor (LPC) based in Pennsylvania. I received my Masters from the Chicago School of Professional Psychology and have been practicing since 2019. I offer individual therapy for young adults and adults struggling with anxiety, social anxiety, self-esteem, depressed mood, grief and loss, and also with family, relationship, academia, occupational, change/transitional and acculturative stressors.

What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?

In our first session together, we'll start with introductions, family and cultural history, developmental history, medical history, relationship history, and other relevant information and identify the reason for seeking therapy at this time. You can ask questions regarding therapy approach and decide if I am a right fit for you.

Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.

My approach can be depth-oriented, straightforward and genuine. I place emphasis on the interpersonal aspects toward building a reliable therapeutic relationship gradually over the course of our sessions. I view the person, wellness and treatment as a whole, an interconnected system of mind and body in relation to their environments from the past, present and possibilities of future. I work in the belief that people are interdependent social beings and need each other to thrive.

Describe the client(s) you are best positioned to serve.

I work with age groups from 21-50 from varied life backgrounds and experiences who struggle with stress and need support to navigate stressors.
