Dhruti Shah, LCPC, LPC

Dhruti’s approach is very refreshing. I always feel like we actually make progress in our sessions. She follows up on any takeaways from the last session. I feel like we drill in to specific issues. I’ve experienced more “aha” moments in our first month of sessions than with anyone else in the past. Her availability is great as well. A lot of options.

I’ve had the pleasure to have Dhruti as my therapist for the past year which absolutely changed my life.

Identifying as trans, queer and non-monogamous I was very afraid I won’t be able to find a therapist who’ll genuinely listen to my struggles without questioning my life choices and disrespecting my values. Dhruti is more than that. She's consistently showed up to our sessions committed to helping me with my anxiety, low self-esteem, and relationship challenges in the most compassionate, open-minded, and overall very professional way, finding tools that I’d personally derive from the most.

I cannot recommend her and her expertise enough! Not to mention, she’s a very kind human who knows exactly when to give you tough love whilst providing words of comfort and reassurance. 10/10!

Dhruti came through for me when other therapists just weren't working for me. I was honestly ready to give up on therapy until we had our first session. She always listens without judging, and has lots of great resources that she is ready to share. She made sure to check in and make sure her therapy style was working for me, which was hugely appreciated. The first session might be a little intense, but it's in a good way. I feel that Dhruti genuinely cares about helping people get their lives back on track, and makes sure that you leave with the tools to continue doing so, even after your therapy journey ends. I could not recommend her more highly.

I want to share very proudly that I am happy that I am able to achieve my Goal with which I joined better help. Thanks to my therapist Dr. Dhruti Shah for that.

This was my first time going for therapy and I am glad that I took this step for myself. In the first conversation itself I was able to connect with my therapist so well that the initial hesitation of sharing my thoughts was gone...

Dr. Dhruti Shah has been always kind to me, listened to me patiently, shared with me resources which I can use, understood me so well and is very genuine.

She is well equipped and she gave me time to empty my thoughts and process my past hurts and traumas.

The day when I joined better help I was in a very low state of mind and had very low self esteem and my therapist showed me how to change these thoughts and the confidence that I have in me now is the proof.

I now have resources that I have practiced and I can use in future whenever I am stuck again because life will always have it's ups and downs but now I feel I have the strength.

Also I am close to loving myself, I am aware and mindful of my thoughts because of which I am able to pull myself out of the negative thought cycle.

All this is because of the pure intentions and guidance of my therapist.

I am thankful and forever grateful to my therapist Dr. Dhruti Shah and Better help. Thank you. And wish you the best.❤️

She was always listening and was prepared to offer different exercises and worksheets that could help me. If a suggested exercise didn't quite work for me, she was always prepared to keep working to find something that did work. I also appreciated that we would look for improvement on a weekly basis. We celebrated my progress together. She motivated me to want to discover more about myself. She challenged me to question why I think the way I do and it was an amazing experience. This was my first time trying therapy and I am so grateful that my first experience was with her. I highly recommend her.

Written on Jul 11, 2022 after therapy with Dhruti for 2 months on issues concerning stress, anxiety, intimacy-related issues, and self esteem

Dr Dhruti Shah was an immense help for me!

She didn't make me feel like a patient who was mentally unwell, but rather a dignified human being who has lost his way a little. She listens with full attention and intent, and her choice of words hit home. Her piercing questions go to the heart of the issue and I am left to connect the dots and answer my own questions. She also never tries to put names or labels on what I am feeling, which creates a safe space for me to express myself freely.

Rather than tasks or routines, she chose a dialectic and insightful style for me and it worked really well! I felt empowered after only a few months. She dispelled many deep misunderstandings and beliefs I had about myself. I am able to love myself much better and I am grateful to have been paired with a wonderful soul.

Here's a quote that fits her approach perfectly:

“I can’t see a way through”, said the boy.
“Can you see your next step?"
“Yes”
“Just take that”, said the horse.

- The Boy, the Mole, the Fox and the Horse
