I’m Shiwangi Pandya and I’m passionate about helping individuals navigate life’s challenges and achieve emotional well-being. My professional journey has led me to work with a diverse clientele in a variety of mental health settings. One of my most significant experiences includes working at Hartgrove Hospital, where I developed the essential skills and knowledge necessary to effectively support clients from all walks of life.

I am passionate about working with clients who are facing challenges related to anxiety, obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), depression, trauma, and PTSD. My ideal client is someone who is seeking to overcome their emotional struggles, find inner strength, and develop effective coping strategies to lead a more fulfilling life. I particularly enjoy supporting individuals who are motivated and open to exploring new perspectives and embracing personal growth.

When you collaborate with me on your path to healing, you’ll find that I offer warmth and support throughout our sessions. Together, we will create a safe environment that encourages you to explore your emotions, cultivate healthy coping mechanisms, and ultimately experience transformative change. I am dedicated to personalizing my therapeutic approach to meet your unique needs, strengths, and goals while incorporating well-founded, evidence-based methods. As we work together, my primary focus is to empower you to achieve personal growth and attain emotional well-being.

I most often incorporate Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) for individuals struggling with obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) and anxiety. I also have extensive experience helping clients address depression, trauma, and Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD).

As a dedicated therapist, I  stay current with research and attend professional opportunities, such as workshops and seminars. This commitment ensures that I provide the most effective and compassionate care. Together, we can embark on a journey toward emotional healing and personal growth.

If you or a loved one is seeking support to navigate life’s challenges and achieve emotional balance, I am here to help. Contact me today to schedule an appointment and take the next step in your journey toward healing and personal growth.
