About My Clients
Your brain has 20 tabs open, three are frozen, and you’re not entirely sure where the music is coming from. Somehow, you’re still getting everything done. You may be successful and self-aware but exhausted from overthinking, people-pleasing, perfectionism, family dynamics, or repeating the same relationship patterns. I work with adults navigating anxiety, burnout, trauma, attachment, and big life transitions, especially when you know the “why” but still can’t seem to change the pattern.
My Background and Approach
My approach starts with getting curious about you,not just your symptoms. We’ll look at what’s happening now while also exploring the experiences, relationships, family patterns, culture, identity, environment, and nervous system responses that may have shaped how you learned to cope, connect, and move through the world. I draw from somatic and nervous-system work, parts work/IFS, ACT, attachment-based approaches, and EMDR-informed therapy. Together, we’ll build on your insight and develop ways of responding that feel more intentional and aligned with the life and relationships you want. I’m Sarayu Srinivasan, MSW, a Registered Associate Clinical Social Worker (#142104), employed by Adoption Collective and practicing under the clinical supervision of Nina Anderson, LCSW (#22218).
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
I believe you can be healing and hilarious, ambitious and exhausted, self-aware and still have absolutely no idea what to do next. Therapy doesn’t require becoming a perfectly regulated person who journals at sunrise and never gets triggered again. I also believe mental health doesn’t exist in a vacuum. Family, culture, identity, relationships, community, and larger systems shape what we learn about love, success, safety, rest, and who we’re supposed to be. Therapy should have room for all of that. Outside the therapy room, music is a huge part of my life—especially R&B, hip-hop, and jazz. I love karaoke, museums, fashion, traveling, experiencing new cultures, and staying active. I’m equally happy going down a neuroscience rabbit hole or talking about an album I’ve had on repeat.
