Poonam Thadani, Palo Alto

Welcome! I believe therapy should be a safe, supportive space where you feel seen, heard and understood. Having lived in the USA, India, Japan & Hong Kong and working across various industries such as Engineering, Tech and Healthcare, I bring a culturally sensitive and globally informed perspective to my therapeutic work. Prior to my Private Practice, I was a psychotherapist at Stanford and worked with Faculty and Staff to address various personal and professional issues. I have also worked as a therapist with students in the California Public School system with issues such as self esteem, ADHD and neuro-divergence. My practice is built on compassion, authenticity and collaboration - values that guide every session. I have experience in helping clients with stress, anxiety, relationship issues, motivation, self esteem, confidence, grief & depression. I also have experience working with coping with life changes. I work with my clients to create an open and safe environment where thoughts and feelings can be shared without fear of judgment. It takes courage to seek out a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first steps towards a change. I am here to support & empower you in that journey. I work with individuals, couples and families using an integrative approach, tailored to my client's requirements. This involves CBT, psychodynamic, attachment-based, solution focused, EFT and short-term therapies.
