Ritu Anand Psychotherapy, LCSW

I became a social worker because I wanted to help others in a meaningful way. I've always been interested in understanding human behavior and how it is impacted by society. I am warm, nonjudgmental, and curious, which are traits that help me in my work with people. I have over 10 years of experience working with diverse populations in many different settings. I have specialized training in crisis and suicide intervention and helping high-risk populations manage mental health symptoms. I can provide you with tools to help you manage depression, anxiety, stress, and relationship concerns.

The first step is to contact me on Alma so that we can set a time to talk about your goals for counseling. We can schedule your first session where we will set goals together. I can provide you with concrete tools to use and practice in between sessions. I work best with those who are committed to working on their goals on a consistent basis because I am committed to you.

I continue to learn about family dynamics, cultural sensitivity, and the use of creativity as a healing tool. I meet with a group of therapists on a regular basis to get continued support and training so that I can provide the best care for you.

Mental health does not exist in a vacuum; our social circumstances impact our identities and our physical and mental well-being. Social justice as a core value shapes my work as a therapist and as a human being.
