About My Clients
I work with adults and couples in MA and MN through life transitions. Whether you're navigating–pregnancy/postpartum, starting college, relationship changes, career shifts, or grief–I’m here to support you. My clinical expertise includes addressing issues from anxiety, depression, pregnancy/postpartum mental health, relationship conflict, grief, trauma/PTSD, and insomnia. I also have a strong interest in career exploration and culturally-focused concerns (e.g., impact of discrimination).
My Background and Approach
I’m Dr. Ummul Kathawalla, a licensed psychologist in Massachusetts and Minnesota. Since 2016, I’ve provided therapy to individuals from diverse backgrounds, tailoring evidence-based treatments to meet each person’s unique needs and goals. I deeply understand the importance of being heard and having a space to explore and express your true self—this is the environment I aim to create for the people I work with. My approach emphasizes evidenced-based, culturally-informed care that builds on your strengths, helping you live a life aligned with your values and goals. With specialized training in various evidence-based treatments, I tailor therapy to meet your needs. I often draw from client-centered, value-based, and cognitive behavioral therapies that explore the intersection of thoughts, emotions, and behaviors, incorporating mindfulness and values exploration. I believe therapy can be valuable not only during difficult times but also as a space for self-care.
