About me

Clinical Specialization

Psychologist & Couples Therapist

Introduction

I’m S. Shrividya, a psychologist and couples therapist, working since 2020. My work is grounded in understanding individuals their emotions, inner world, and patterns and how these shape their relationships over time. I work with concerns such as emotional disconnection, trust and infidelity, communication difficulties, anxiety, and challenges in emotional regulation. I believe that many relational struggles are not just about conflict, but about the deeper emotional experiences that often go unexpressed or misunderstood. My approach is integrative, drawing from CBT, EFT, ACT, the Gottman Method, and Nonviolent Communication. This allows me to tailor the therapeutic process to each couple’s unique dynamics, ensuring that the work remains relevant, structured, and meaningful. I view therapy as a collaborative and evolving space where we move beyond surface-level conflicts to build emotional safety, deeper understanding, and a stronger, more secure connection.

My Approach

I see therapy as a space that is warm, comfortable, and thoughtfully held—where meaningful change begins with genuine understanding and connection. Before partners begin to understand each other, my focus is on understanding each individual their experiences, emotions, and what may feel difficult to express.

• ✔ Understanding how thoughts and reactions shape relational patterns (CBT)
• ✔ Exploring deeper emotions and attachment needs (EFT)
• ✔ Learning to manage difficult emotions while making meaningful choices (ACT)
• ✔ Strengthening communication and managing conflict effectively (Gottman Method)
• ✔ Expressing needs clearly and empathetically (Nonviolent Communication)

• ✨ Creating a safe and non-judgmental environment
• ✨ Exploring patterns beyond surface-level issues
• ✨ Supporting open and meaningful communication
• ✨ Rebuilding trust and emotional safety
• ✨ Helping couples move toward intentional and fulfilling relationships

What You Can Expect

In our work together, you can expect a space that is both deeply human and thoughtfully structured. I aim to create an environment where you feel safe enough to express yourself openly, while also being guided toward clarity and meaningful change.

Beyond Conflict

My work goes beyond simply resolving conflicts. I focus on helping couples reconnect—not just to fix problems, but to build a deeper and more meaningful bond. Many couples struggle not because they lack care, but because they find it difficult to express what they feel internally. In therapy, I support partners in understanding their emotional world and translating it into communication that can be heard and understood. This creates space for empathy, connection, and the ability to choose each other again with greater awareness.

Professional Experience

With over 6,000 hours of clinical practice, I bring depth of experience in working with individuals across a wide range of psychological concerns. This extensive experience allows me to approach therapy with both clinical clarity and emotional sensitivity. Alongside individual work, I have worked with approximately 100 couples, developing a nuanced understanding of relationship dynamics. This combined experience enables me to tailor interventions that address both individual needs and relational patterns effectively.

A Note from Me

I believe every relationship holds the potential for growth, connection, and deeper understanding. Relationships evolve, and with awareness and effort, they can become more secure and meaningful over time. In therapy, my role is to support you in untangling difficult patterns, building emotional awareness, and creating a space where both partners feel seen, heard, and valued.
