Written on Sep 17, 2022 after therapy with Deepa for 2 years and 4 months on issues concerning grief
Deepa has been incredibly helpful to me since the first day I started my therapy sessions. I instantly felt like she was welcoming, non-judgmental, patient, and respectful towards me. I felt comfortable telling her my thoughts and I found myself eager to hear what she had to say in response. She offers great insight, resources, and compassion throughout each session. She's always punctual and sends me worksheets in a timely manner. Additionally, as someone who is from a south asian culture, Deepa has always made me feel like she understands my way of thinking since she comes from a similar culture. My experience with her has been nothing but the best. I am so thankful to Deepa for helping me get through some hard times and for helping me reach my therapy goals. I would highly recommend Deepa to anyone who is looking to seek a therapist!

Ever since I've started my sessions with Deepa, I've noticed a significant increase in my happiness and motivation. She's sympathetic, understanding, and she implements different methods to improve your well-being. I don't ever feel like I'm being judged and there was an inherent understanding present with some situations I was experiencing. I felt like I changed for the better and I wanted to thank you for all the guidance!

Deepa has helped me so much in such a short time. This was my first experience with counseling so I didn’t really know what to expect. She has such a calm approach, which really makes me feel comfortable. I was able to open up without feeling any judgement. I think the best part was the thinking approach she recommended. It’s helped me tremendously with my outlook of life in general. Thank you.
