Meet Vidhi

IMG_5505

Hi, I’m Vidhi. I am from Orange County, CA and live with my husband and our dog, Indie. My professional experience in education & mental health wellness spans over 10 years. I have supported educational therapy clinics, public schools, and private practices.

I earned my Master’s in Counseling from Chapman University. I hold both my Pupil Personnel Services (PPS) credential in School Counseling and am registered with the CA Board of Behavioral Sciences as an Associate Professional Clinical Counselor (APCC). As a high school counselor, I supported students with their academics, career planning, and social/emotional issues. After the rise of mental health concerns seen in the school setting during the pandemic, I left my school counseling position to begin my mental health therapist licensure journey to increase my mental health knowledge & treatment skills. For over 2 years now, I have worked in private practice therapy supporting young adults with healing past & present trauma, navigating cultural challenges, and treating symptoms of anxiety, depression, grief/loss, and stress. I am trained in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Solutions-Focused Brief Counseling, Experiential & Gestalt Methods, & EMDR.  

To cumulate my experiences & training, and meet my current personal and professional aspirations, I have decided to make another shift into life coaching. Through a coaching capacity, I can work independently to support clients who are wanting more active assistance with their academics, organization, making future career & life decisions, improving their sense of self & relationships, and navigating cultural issues. 

Though I have credentials in providing therapy, I am presently looking to take on life coaching clients who are receiving therapy treatment separately and wanting additional support in different areas of their life, or who have successfully met their therapy goals and want to continue applying skills learned in therapy and build on their overall wellness.
