PATIENT TESTIMONIALS

Bob, 70-years old 
Family Therapy for Irish-Americans

I never believed in therapy. As you know I was dragged into it by my children. As a successful executive all my life I also wasn't so hot about the idea of 'opening up.' But you helped our family through a difficult phase. Your honesty and your humor drew me out. You were not afraid to challenge me intellectually and kept me returning through these years and looking forward to our real conversations.

Jake, 49-years old
Couples Therapy for Italian-Americans

We had gone to four or five couples therapists before we chanced upon you. You were the first therapist my wife completely opened up to. With you there was no jargon, you were direct, fair, and yet firm. We were deadlocked in negative spirals: she would go off on me and I felt like I was always walking on eggshells. You kept us accountable and brought us to a point where we could listen to each other. We feel we are in a new phase of our lives." 

Patricia, 57-years old
Family Therapy for African-Americans

We've been seeing you for our daughter's treatment for the last ten years and we met once a week. During this you helped her and our family through many different seasons. Whether it was an emergency session required over Christmas or whether it was a rough patch we were going through, you were always there - a consistent force and a very present guiding light in our lives. Our family has benefitted greatly thanks to you.

Carol, 40-year old
Physician, Otolaryngologist
Devaluation and Institutional Racism

I was at one of the finest medical institutions in the country and well on my way to take on the reins of running its illustrious program when  my contract was not renewed. I  became aware in therapy, how pervasive my devaluation had been, and the many ways in which I had enabled the systematic  undercutting of my voice and needs over the years. I learnt to manage my fears of reputational damage and instead, gained mastery through communicating professional boundaries despite stressful interpersonal encounters. 

Lara and Wads, 55-year old
Vice-President, Multinational Technology Corporation

Over time we found our 23-year old marriage mired with unsurpassable impasses and lack of empathy. We had tried several therapists before we found Dr. Sandhya. She helped us patiently parse the many unproductive relational dances we were engaged with and the many different pressures on our connection with each other. We completed different homeworks, role-plays, and read many books, carefully chosen for us by our doctor. As we gain newer perspectives of each other through more empathy, our ways of relating have also changed and become more intimate. 

Anjali, 32-year old
Indian-American in Higher Education 
Illness and Death 

Therapy helped me through the darkest time of my life. When my mother suddenly passed away, I was mentally and spiritually crushed. The pain was so deep that it left me completely debilitated at times. I knew I needed help. Therapy provided me with the courage to confront those raw feelings of loss that are often times so difficult to navigate. It also led me down a path of self-discovery and renewal, and challenged me to re-prioritize my life in a way that I could never do on my own.

Kyle, 25-years old
Medical Student, Ivy League

A fourth year medical student, I had always been top of my class and defined my self-worth by achievement. I  felt trapped and paralyzed while  I was studying for my Board exams. Without Dr. Sandhya's intervention, I would have been stuck in my striving for perfection. With her help I was able to get back on track mentally, manage my expectations, and forge my balance in the chaos of medical school and its stresses. 

Madeleine, 43-year old
Gynecologic Surgeon

I grew accustomed to my signs of burnout - doubting, feeling drained, apathetic, joyless, and disliking my patients, in therapy.  Instead of leaving my medical career, I asked myself existential questions and have never felt  more satisfied at work.

George & Samantha, 40's
Chinese-Caucasion
Couples Therapy for Attorneys

During our decade-old marriage we had always experienced race-related tensions. We were having the same fight over and over again and had the same list of 10 fights. We never questioned where each others heart was, but could not achieve the daily intimacy, connection, and trust we desired. Therapy helped us achieve an elevated understanding of each other, honest and deep discussions around racism and privilege facilitated by an expert, and developed some better tools to help us during our emotion-laden arguments.

Marianne and Tom 49/45 years old
Physicians, Trauma Surgeons

 

We realized our intentions - to save the other from hurt, discomfort, or strenuous time commitments - by not sharing important confidences was only hurting us more.  We were trying to anticipate each other's needs without listening and not really understanding. Dr. Sandhya patiently helped us peel back our layers to understand our fundamental disconnects and helped us take pause and stock of where we wanted to go in our relationship.
