I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 10 years of experience helping individuals navigate life’s challenges. My therapeutic style is warm, empathetic, and action-oriented, creating a safe space where clients feel heard and supported. I specialize in tailoring care to each person’s unique needs, guiding them toward meaningful change and lasting growth. By focusing on strengths, values, and goals, I work with clients to build skills that not only support their healing but also empower them beyond therapy.

I earned my Master’s in Social Work from the University of Chicago. My approach integrates cognitive behavioral therapy, motivational interviewing, and creative methods of self-expression. I aim to help clients unlock the best version of themselves while developing tools that promote long-term well-being.

I welcome the opportunity to walk alongside you on your journey and answer any questions you may have about how I can support your growth and goals.

Sindhu Elagandhala (they/them & she/her) is a Resident in Counseling (RIC) working towards licensure as a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC). They have years of experience and are passionate in working with clients navigating comorbidities of mood, anxiety, personality, and trauma disorders as well as those seeking to integrate neurotypes such as ADHD and autism. They work with adults, couples, and families who are motivated for the work of therapy.

Sindhu completed their Master's degree (MA) and Education Specialist (Ed.S) degrees at James Madison University in Clinical Mental Health Counseling. They engage in creative therapies that primarily utilize tools from emotion-focused therapy (EFT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), internal family systems (IFS), trauma-informed therapy (TIF), and attachment-based (ABT) frameworks.

Individual experiences, trauma, identity, relationships, neurobiology, meaning-making, and overarching systems all shape identities and the ways that we move through the world. Sindhu believes that therapy is the process of understanding these factors that leads us towards a path of change. Navigating your mental health is not something that you have to do alone. The journey and struggles are complex and it is an honor to be invited to join you on that path. If you are ready to do the work, schedule an appointment with Sindhu today.
