Neelu Chawla, LMFT

Neelu has been so warm and friendly. She’s made me feel absolutely comfortable sharing issues I’ve had and helped me cope. I’d recommend her to anyone looking for a sound therapist, someone who actually listens to understand.

I needed a therapist with expertise with many different cultures as I am and grown up among multiple cultures. One understands me and my husband culturally as an interracial and intercultural couple living in America/Egypt. I also needed someone who understands the impact of childhood trauma on adult relationships. Neelu has expertise in these areas and as well in how as a woman I can empower myself in my relationships and in my life in general. She's been keeping tabs on me every day since we got connected asking about my mental status, my health like sleep and eating and even my schoolwork. Neelu heard multiple audio messages of mine a day so I could express all that was on my mind. I’m living with husband but was alone for about month here in an apartment in a still foreign country to me, so I just needed someone who checks in with me daily and stays connected on a daily basis while I was alone. I feel free to express myself, to share all of myself without having to hold back. I would recommend Neelu as a therapist to anyone who is in another country living on their own, needing help with self-empowerment and even with relationships and wants consistent support via writing messages, audio notes and phone calls and/or live video counseling. I'm happy I found a therapist who goes above and beyond to stay connected with me and responds quickly in a timely fashion. I'm doing better with my mental health, school, and even sleeping better too. The meditation music Neelu shared with me calms me down so I can slow down and focus on myself better and think with a calmer mind. I recommend Neelu as a therapist to anyone who wants to understand themselves better and succeed in their lives by growing their inner power. I feel Neelu was sent to me from divine. I was in a very low place in my life, being away from my home, my family, friends, and lifestyle back in America and my husband for about a month. Being in a foreign country that I’m still adjusting too. Because I didn’t have healthy feminine women growing up. Neelu is like the mother, aunt, sister, friend, mentor, and even coach I always wanted. I’m grateful we were connected and able to continue our therapy sessions. She’s given me advice on things I wouldn’t have been able to see in such a different perspective and always gives great advice regarding myself, marriage, and other areas of my life that I needed support in. Neelus supportive of my making choices about my life based on my values, my needs and my goals. I’m grateful to have found someone who fits my values and communication stye. I’ve began seeing positive changes within myself like self-confidence and patience. Thanks to the help from betterhelp with Neelu.

I only spent one line session with her and she already started to hammer the key points home by asking question I wouldn't normally ask myself. Her personality is very inviting and I didn't feel uncomfortable to share my mind with her.

She's great, we are still getting to know each other but she's so accommodating and supportive.

I love my experience with Better Help and especially with my therapist Neelu. I feel comfortable with her and it makes it easy for me to just talk about my feeling without fear of being judged or criticized. She is understanding, calm and she brings me peace. I love how the Better Help platform give me many options to express myself and that I’m able to talk to my therapist any time. I enjoyed our weekly video live session but really love the chat where I can go and express my feeling when I need it. I’m a big fan of the voice message because it’s easier for me to express myself this way, especially when I’m very emotional.
The chat makes me feel like I’m talking to a friend, as Neelu answers me thru the day, like a friend would do.
I’m so happy I decided to seek help thru Better Help. It’s been almost 2 weeks and I already see a bit of progress.

"I wanted to work on my issues around my body and body image. We have been working on me loving my body. Then we moved into relationships and standing up for myself and with my parents, friends, housemates. I tend to avoid conflict but now I'm seeing how I can do it in a way that fits me. I'm a really compassionate and kind person so that's how I do conflict too. I really want to get into a relationship but one that is right for me and not just anyone. We are now working on what I like in a romantic partner. I do want a relationship and one that's good for me. Neelu appreciates me for who I am and builds my confidence to get what I want by believing in myself and not letting others define me. I define myself that's what I'm learning with Neelu. It's hard at times but it's also fun when we laugh about stuff that's not funny but it is though."

Neelu has been a great guide for me as I am working through my various issues. She is compassionate and truly listens to what I am saying. She suggests obtainable goals and "homework" for me after our weekly sessions.

We are trying to have a modern marriage when we grew up in traditional families. Neelu has been helping us to talk with each other and open up about what kind of marriage we want to have, what are our 'rules' in our marriage, like resolving conflict, enjoying free time, supporting each other's career goals and how to interact with our families with boundaries. Neelu responds almost daily to our messages and we get feedback quickly to help us resolve our conflicts, when we have them. It's reassuring to have this kind of frequent support in our lives.

Neelu responded right away to me and we started messages right away. I set up a time for to video in a few days. I wrote a lot about myself and she get to know me. I just need to figure myself out and why I am the way I am in relationships with women. I'm a mechanic, I need the mechanics of relationships haha. I might even write about it myself. Relationship Mechanics, we all need them.

Neelu got me what I needed right away because I was really struggling. I think she understands where I come from and what needs to be done. I feel like things can change now. I'm working on active listening, self-care skills, assertively setting my boundaries (nicely) and putting myself first. I need to take care of myself first. Working on it and I know it'll get better now.
