I am a mental health professional practicing for the past 14 years. I have a vast educational background with a masters degree in genetics and computer science. I wasn't satisfied with my work and felt that I can only satisfy myself if I help others. Then I pursued a master's degree in psychology and further went for my PHD. This profession brings satisfaction for me because i get to interact with people and feel that I am making a difference in people's lives.
My goal in life is to touch people's hearts in the worst of their times and bring out the best for them. I feel happy and satisfied when I see my clients grow. I put all my efforts into helping my clients reach their potential in personal growth and empower them. I don't believe in boundaries such as race, culture and religion. I feel equally empathetic for all human beings and want the best for everyone.

Dr. Saima is such a caring therapist. She is so generous with her time and truly cares about me as a person. She listens to all of my concerns and offers tools and support that are custom made for my situation. I've had experience with councilors that only offer general advice or repeat suggestions that I've already implement in my life- that is not at all Dr. Saima's approach. Over the course of a couple of months she helped me get out of a mental fog that I had been in for a year and helped me navigate a chronic health issue. She wants you to get the most out of your time and encourages you to journal every day in between sessions. She really does read the journals and will respond to you at any point if you ask. She goes above and beyond in her effort to support you and expects a lot out of you as far as the work you do in her sessions, but is patient with you if it is all too overwhelming. If you are looking to implement tools to change your life or are looking to get out of a bad spiral you've fallen into, Dr. Saima would be a good fit for you.

Dr. Saima is wise and beautiful inside and out. She creates such a sacred, open, and non judgemental space for me to share things that I am so vulnerable about. It takes a special kind of counselor to make you feel safe enough to share your deepest self with, even the dark parts. Dr. Saima sees the light and the goodness in me that exists in all of us in our hearts and she reminds me of that so truly every time we talk. I leave our sessions feeling so loved, so validated, and so protected. She is very encouraging of writing in your journal and sharing as much with her in chat as possible. Dr. Saima is a very smart lady and the things she says will stay with you for days after your sessions and years beyond. I am so thankful to be able to work with her and share my stories with her.

Dr. Sandhu is wonderful. She is very experience, firm and can read between the lines. She is well educated and still keeps her strong instinct to read what it is that I'm not sharing. She's on top of her game and I am very grateful to have her as my counselor.

Dr. Sandhu is incredible. She really takes the time to listen and understand your particular problems and has helped me immensely. I plan on continuing to use BetterHelp mostly due in part to *her. Thank you, Dr. Sandhu.

Dr Saima,
Is the best counselor I’ve ever had now I’m very new to counseling and I have only had one other therapist but Dr. Saima truly invest in you and person and she makes you feel like she’s got a plan to help you no matter what your problem is. Can’t wait to work with her going forward.

Dr.Sandhu is so wonderful, I love her. I’ve only been been talking with her for a few weeks now and I definitely have seen progress with her. I am excited moving forward with her. She gives me insight on events in my life from angles I’ve never been able to see before. She is enlightening, insightful, compassionate and understanding. So looking forward to a healing process working with her. The best!

During my 4 weeks with Dr. Saima Sandhu, she shined a light on the relationships of my life and elucidated truths about my family and myself, things that no other therapist discovered and I never thought of before. She helped me discover things I didn't know about myself and had helpful suggestions to my problems.
She's compassionate, warm, smart, helpful, kind, and she made me work hard, lol. She made me write in the journal section everyday, even when I didn't feel like it, but ultimately it helped draw a fuller picture of my life so she could help me better in the short time she had to help me.
I'll miss her but if I use this service again, I'd love to continue working with her.
