Welcome and thank you for visiting my profile. Prior to scheduling our initial intake appointment, I suggest we have brief discussion over the phone, at no cost, regarding your past experiences in therapy and current goals for therapy.

I have over 30 years of experience working with people of various backgrounds and cultures.

My Clinical experience includes Private Practice, Elk Grove, CA from April 1992 to June 2013 as a Marriage Family Therapist, and Licensed Clinical Psychologist from July 2013 to present. In 1996 I received my master's degree in Art Therapy. In 1998 & 1999 I studied and was certified by the founder of EMDR. I specialize in working with adults with trauma, Anxiety, and Depression. I am only seeing individuals at this time.

First session

Once we have had a brief introductory discussion over the phone and you have completed all the Intake Forms through Grow, for our initial session we will review your intake paperwork and answer any questions. We will discuss your current situation and relevant past history. We will work together to determine your top ten goals for therapy. You will be asked questions regarding your medical and mental health, as well as family history. The frequency of your sessions will be based on your individual assessment and needs.

Strengths

I have over 30 years of experience working with people of various backgrounds and cultures. I am open minded, accepting, and dedicated. I am able to bring a variety of tools and techniques for example mindfulness, EMDR, and art therapy. I am skilled at matching the tools, techniques, and modalities which best serve my clients. I try to accommodate most schedules. Through telehealth I am available days and evenings 7 days a week.

Ideal clients

My ideal client is motivated and ready to grow and adapt. You and I will work together to identify current top 10 goals for therapy, treatment options, and referrals if needed. The length of time in therapy will vary according to your individual needs and will be discussed throughout the course of your care. Please speak openly and at any time about any challenges you are experiencing so that I my best assist you in your treatment. I strive to create a compassionate and nurturing environment for all my clients.

Dr. B is extremely supportive and caring. She's a wonderful person and therapist. She has helped me build confidence and taught me techniques for dealing with emotionally challenging situations.

Pritam is warm and funny, We talked about what I wanted to get out of our time together and set goals. This was our first session and I feel hopeful. I look forward to meeting with her again.
