Ambita Sen

Clients are sometimes apprehensive about the type of relationship they can have with the therapist. They are uncertain if they can fully open up and express their issues and whether the therapy will help.

I approach each client as an individual with the desire to provide them comfort by approaching their issues holistically. Then, in collaboration with the client, I am able to identify and agree upon the therapeutic process that is attuned to their specific issues, needs, and what they desire to achieve from therapy.

I strive to create a safe, welcoming, and comfortable environment and value the importance of the therapeutic relationship so they can move forward with ease.
