Bharati Patwardhan
Licensed Marriage & Family Therapist -
Are you feeling ABANDONED, humiliated, unheard, hurt, lonely in relationships with your spouse, parents, siblings, children, in social relationships? Do you feel like people have taken advantage of you, nobody cares about you? Are you tired of hearing “get over with it”? The feeling of burnout to prove yourself can be devastating. Emotional wounds and trauma affect the rest of our life if left untreated. It manifests in the form of sadness, low self-esteem, unstable relationships, and may become the root cause of health issues. Don’t wait to seek help for emotional pain/ injury as you wouldn’t for physical injury. Mental health and physical health are the two sides of the same coin I am aware that it is not easy to be vulnerable but vulnerability brings change! We cannot change the past but together we can create the road map to achieve your desired future.
My mission is to help you to create insight into your present situation in relation to your past experiences and to empower you and/or your family to experience the desired future! Your past has left you with limited resources. Together we will identify the your hidden strengths to develop new resources to empower you to live your life fully!
I specialize in working with teenagers, adults, couples, and families. I help my clients by empowering them to navigate through trauma/PTSD, relationship issues or trauma, couples relationship issues, anxiety, grief & loss, and immigrants assimilation issues. I also work with people who are dealing with post traumatic care-giving, one of the hardest jobs on the earth. One size does not fit all hence I use different methods/modalities/techniques to cater to my client’s needs to achieve their desired results.
With primary attachment focused, trauma focused, and strength-based approach, I use attachment theory, mindfulness, EFT (emotionally focused therapy for couples), trauma-focused EMDR therapy (Eye Movement Desensitization & Reprocessing), and psychodynamic theory approach.
Your progress starts right when you feel you are being heard. Let’s walk the path together towards your goal with your needs, strengths, life experiences, my expertise and my passion to help you! Give yourself an opportunity to live your life the way you want. Together we can do this!!
