Sanjana Utiramerur, MSW-I

Starting therapy can feel overwhelming but it doesn’t have to be. I’m here to meet you wherever you are and create a space that makes you feel safe and understood. My sessions are centered around empathy, collaboration, and open communication. I work with adolescents and adults who are navigating life transitions, relationship issues, cultural identity, stress, and low-self esteem. Together, we’ll explore what shapes your experience while developing the skills and insights to reach your goals.

Modality & Approach

As a therapist I am strengths-based, trauma informed, and work from a holistic perspective. My work recognizes how broader social and environmental contexts shape individual experiences. I tailor my therapeutic approach to find what works best for you, whether it’s conversational or skills-oriented. While I primarily draw from psychodynamic therapy, we may also integrate skill-building techniques from ACT, CBT, and DBT when needed. I prioritize collaboration and client insight throughout the process to ensure that your care aligns with your unique needs and experiences.

What’s one thing you do daily to support your mental and emotional well-being?

I try to make time for small but meaningful moments of joy like reading, taking walks by the water, or talking to loved ones. Sometimes something simple, like lying upside down on the couch while listening to music, helps me process my emotions and reset.
