Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC)
About Thivya
I’m a therapist committed to supporting individuals through life’s most challenging moments with compassion and cultural awareness. I bring expertise in helping clients navigate stress, anxiety, trauma, and the complexities of identity and belonging.
My work centers on creating affirming, nonjudgmental spaces for LGBTQ+ individuals, people of color, and those processing difficult life experiences. I specialize in addressing self-esteem, communication struggles, isolation, grief, and the lasting effects of trauma and abuse. I’m also experienced in supporting clients through gender identity questions, immigration-related challenges, workplace concerns, and family dynamics.
I draw from evidence-based, trauma-informed approaches tailored to each person’s unique needs and values. I believe in meeting you where you are—honoring your identity, experiences, and strengths as we work together toward healing and growth.
I’m fluent in English and Tamil, which allows me to connect with a broader range of clients and communities. Whether you’re seeking support around self-love, forgiveness, life purpose, or navigating systemic barriers, I’m here to walk alongside you with authenticity and care.
Taking the first step toward therapy takes courage, and I’m honored to be part of your journey.
