Priya Bhanderi, LCSW
I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with specializations in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) and couples and family therapy, and a background in motivational interviewing, crisis counseling, and trauma-informed cognitive behavioral therapy (TF-CBT). I creatively and practically integrate many therapeutic approaches at Transformative Psychotherapy.
I believe humans are born to be resilient. As a psychotherapist, my goal is to help my clients transform their anxiety, depression, stress, and trauma so that they can access their full potential as strong, resourceful, and capable individuals. I strive to create a warm and nonjudgmental space where they can share their struggles, reprocess their past, and feel excited for the future.
