Dr. Sonal Chowdhry (Psychologist)

Do you feel like you’re doing all the right things, but still getting stuck in the same old patterns? Many of my clients come to me feeling this way—as if there are unseen forces holding them back. My approach goes beyond surface-level fixes to explore the deeper, unconscious motivations shaping your life. Instead of just managing symptoms, we’ll journey into the rich world of your psyche using powerful tools like Hypnotherapy and EMDR to uncover what’s truly holding you back and create profound, lasting change. My work is deeply rooted in depth psychology, a perspective I gained through my doctoral education at Pacifica Graduate Institute. I believe true healing comes from integrating all parts of ourselves—the conscious and the unconscious. This is why I combine evidence-based, solution-oriented therapies like CBT with more profound, transformative modalities. We can address your immediate concerns while also delving into the symbolic language of your psyche—exploring dreams, personal myths, and archetypes. This comprehensive approach offers the best of both worlds: a clear path for the challenges you face today, paired with a powerful journey of self-discovery that leads to long-term healing. What you can expect from our work together is a warm, creative, and holistic partnership. We will not just talk about your issues; we will actively work to understand them at their root. Whether you are struggling with a specific trauma, chronic stress, or a general sense of being “stuck,” our sessions will provide a safe space to explore and transform your experience.
