Human. Therapist.

Hi, I’m Naethra Sreekrishna. Before I am a therapist, I am a person - like you - who is shaped by many parts — a cis woman of color, child of South Indian immigrants, an eldest daughter, a mother, wife, friend, an avid reader and aspirational artist, an abolitionist. I’m Southwestern born, Midwestern raised, and New Yorker by choice. I'm raising an interracial/intercultural family that combines our Black, Brown, US, Indian, and Namibian identities. These parts of me are not separate from my clinical work; they inform how I listen, how I understand power and systems, how I apply therapeutic interventions, and how I show up in relationship.

I am a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) in private practice who primarily works with clients navigating intersectional identities — People of the Global Majority, Queer and Trans folks, and Neurodiverse individuals. Whether I’m working with couples or individuals, I approach therapy through a relational lens. Together, we explore the patterns shaped by family, culture, and systems — and how they show up in conflict and connection. My work is grounded in the belief that we are not broken; many of the struggles we face are our attempts at adaptations to environments that were never designed to support us.

Curated Resources

The only thing I love more than consuming various books, articles, podcasts, websites, etc. is sharing them! So I created this space as place to organize and share resources I've found helpful as a human and a therapist. My hope is to share my "notes" on resources about 4 to 6 times in a year.

Practice Updates

Being a human, therapist, and business owner, this is also an avenue to share occasional updates about my private practice - such as offerings and availability - with anyone who opts in to receiving my "notes." No pressure. And no impact on current or previous care.
