Nivetha Dhurvas

BSC, MA, RCC

Hi, I’m Nivetha, a Registered Clinical Counselor with a Master’s in Psychology and a Postgraduate Diploma in Counseling and Psychotherapy. I support adults and couples navigating challenges like anxiety, depression, life transitions, and adjustment issues. As someone from a multicultural background, I especially welcome clients who identify as BIPOC, immigrants, or who are looking for culturally sensitive care.

My approach to therapy is compassionate, collaborative, and tailored to your unique needs. I believe therapy should feel like a conversation — grounded in safety, authenticity, and respect.

My approach is integrative and client-centered, drawing from a range of evidence-based modalities including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy (REBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and mindfulness-based techniques. I also incorporate expressive arts therapy and somatic awareness when appropriate, helping clients tap into insights that words alone may not always reach.

At the heart of my work is the belief that people heal in connection — when they feel seen, heard, and empowered to move forward at their own pace. I strive to meet each client where they are, holding space for both vulnerability and strength to coexist.

Fluent in English, Hindi, Tamil, and Sourashtra, I aim to make therapy accessible and culturally attuned. My own personal experiences — including witnessing the emotional journeys of those close to me — deeply influence my understanding of the human condition and the importance of compassionate, non-judgmental care.

Outside of my clinical work, I find joy in simple things: reading thought-provoking books, cooking comforting meals, drawing as a form of expression, and going on short hikes to reconnect with nature.
