WELCOME. I’M RITU.

I’M A REGISTERED ASSOCIATE MFT (AMFT #131900) BASED IN SAN FRANCISCO, CALIFORNIA.

Supervised by Camille Campbell, LMFT #100067

I specialize in working with children, adolescents, adults and couples dealing with issues related to:

~ Relationships & Conflict

~ Trauma & PTSD

~ Anxiety & Depression

~ Self Esteem

~ Life Transitions & Identity

~ Sexuality

~ Mood & Personality Disorders

~ Grief, Loss & Healing

~ Eating Disorder

~ Immigration & Acculturation

My therapy approach is client centered. I draw from different modalities based on the client’s needs and where they are in their process. I simultaneously hold process and goal as important facets of the healing journey. I take the time to establish a strong therapeutic alliance, so the client’s most tender and repressed parts feel safe in expressing themselves.

HOW I THINK ABOUT OUR WORK

I view psychotherapy as a process of guiding my clients so they can reconnect to their authentic sense of self. My perspective is that most mental and emotional distress is a result of disconnecting from who we truly are. I trust the drive towards wholeness is innate in all of us. Therefore, my work as a therapist is not about adding on or fixing the client, but rather examining and gently removing what might be in the way of the client’s own organic process towards wholeness.

Since personal is a part of the collective, healing occurs on both levels. When the personal heals it breaks the downward cascade of intergenerational trauma. My hope is that as individuals heal they engage with their environment in a more heart centered, open way and that in turn brings a healing element to their interpersonal relationships and their community at large. I feel grateful to be a part of this healing process.

 

I OFFER IN-PERSON PSYCHOTHERAPY SESSIONS IN SAN FRANCISCO, CA OR TELEHEALTH SERVICES THROUGHOUT CALIFORNIA.
