About Me
2015
I am Sayee, a psychologist with nine years of experience, specializing in working with children facing behavioral issues and adults dealing with anxiety and depression. My expertise spans various therapeutic modalities, including cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), play therapy, and mindfulness techniques. I have a deep understanding of developmental psychology, particularly in childhood behavior and emotional regulation. Additionally, I have collaborated with schools, families, and other mental health professionals to ensure comprehensive care for my clients. I am certified in Marital Therapy and LGBTQ therapy and have a background in Dance and Movement Therapy. My therapeutic approach is eclectic, and I believe in providing tailor-made therapy to suit the unique needs of each client. I also lead our support group for mothers, called Mother Diaries, where moms of children with special needs come together to support and listen to each other.
