Hi, my name is Dhara Nathwani and I am a licensed clinical professional counselor from IL with over five years of experience working with individuals, couples and families. I’m calm, patient and compassionate and truly enjoy getting to know each of my clients and going through the therapeutic journey with them. I offer a safe, no judgement relaxed space for you to share openly. The work we do together will be a collaborative process meaning that you will be the one to decide what you would like to ultimately achieve from the therapy process while I provide you with the clinical feedback, tools and skills to help you achieve your desired goal. You can expect that therapy with me will be fun, challenging and certainly empowering. Sometimes we may laugh together, sometimes we may cry together. The work we will do will be meaningful. I use an insight oriented, humanistic approach with cognitive behavioral interventions. This means gaining insight into the thought or behavior patterns that may be preventing you from being able to function your best. Change isn’t easy but if you are truly tired of “feeling stuck” emotionally or mentally, therapy may be able to help you. Let’s take this journey of personal growth together. I look forward to working with you.
I have expertise in working with individuals who have experienced physical, emotional and/or sexual trauma or neglect during their childhood. I also specialize in depression, self-esteem, anxiety, women and cultural issues. I am bilingual with verbal fluency in Gujarati.
Additional areas of focus: Addictions, LGBT, Relationship issues, Grief, Intimacy-related issues, Parenting issues, Anger management, Career difficulties, Bipolar disorder, Coping with life changes, Coaching, Compassion fatigue
These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Dhara Nathwani. We don't pay anyone to provide their review and they are all made voluntarily. Some people's experience receiving therapy with BetterHelp might be different.
Dhara is by far the best counselor I have ever dealt with. She is exceptionally insightful, caring, dynamic, encouraging, patient, and understanding. Her non-judgmental approach made it easy to open up and honestly express myself. She has the wisdom and skills to initiate the self-healing process and make positive changes in your life. I'm very grateful for Dhara and I would recommend her to anyone.
