Nidhi Berry, LICSW, LMHC

I love supporting those who feel like they are on the fringe - like they don't belong or don't deserve to belong. I love working with those who long to explore ways to transform themselves, and I believe in the strength and autonomy of my clients. My goal is to help you facilitate the changes that a part of you already knows you want to make - the same part of you that brought you to this site. 

I help clients overcome the stress and self-doubt that come from overthinking and self-questioning, and lead more fulfilled, thoughtful lives with improved relationships both with their loved ones and with themselves. I do this using a number of different types of interventions,  including ACT, CBT, Gottman Method for couples, trauma-informed counseling, psychoeducation, and using the science of the brain and body to carve an intentional path to wellness.

My identities that inform my therapeutic work include: bicultural, South Asian/Indian-American, American-born, brown, able-bodied, cisgender, and heterosexual. I strive towards a practice that is anti-oppressive, decolonized, LGBTQ+ affirming, affirming of the varieties of sexualities that exist in this world, and with a Health At Every Size (HAES) orientation. I am the founder of the South Asian Behavioral Health Initiative of the Pacific Northwest (SABHI). 

​

I specialize in client-centered, strength-oriented care and particularly enjoy working with clients experiencing the following concerns:

​

• Grief and loss

• Navigating the role of caretaker for an ill loved one

• Chronic illness

• Second generation and/or bicultural identity

• Asian and South Asian cultural impacts on mental wellness

• Intimacy in the setting of chronic illness

• Intimacy and sexuality concerns

• Stress and perfectionism in the context of high-functioning overachievement

• Work/life balance

• Romantic relationship difficulties

I think that how we find ourselves is in the context of relationships, and I think the health and authenticity of our relationships is directly related to our own individual health and wellness. It’s a delight to work with people who are striving towards growth, wellness, authentic selfhood, and better relationships.

​

If any of this resonates with you, it would be my honor to connect with you to see if we might be a good fit therapeutically. Please don't hesitate to reach out to me for a free 20 minute consultation using the "Book Consult" button below.
