Chandan R. Bhagia

"I'm stuck. I feel so alone. I'm not sure how I can move forward from this." These are painful thoughts that we all have or will struggle with at some point in our lives. Taking the steps to face these challenges can be an intimidating process that often takes courage and commitment toward one's self-growth. I value such commitment and am honored to be a part of such a journey, with clients that I work with. In treatment, I have found that clients experience me as collaborative, compassionate and committed to their personal growth. I assist my clients in becoming aware of the meaning behind the complexity of their emotional struggles, while meeting them with empathy and determination to assist them in evoking "change" within their lives. I have found doing often leads my clients in working toward a rich, meaningful and valuable life! My approach in therapy is informed by Psychodynamic and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) principles. I am also passionate about understanding my client's struggles through a multi-cultural lens and place emphasis on learning the impact of their cultural/socioeconomic background on their personal struggles and emotional well-being.
