Swasthi Naidu Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist
Offering therapy in Sonoma County for adolescents, individuals, and families ready to move beyond OCD, anxiety, depression, and trauma. Toward resilience, healing, and meaningful connection.
My Approach
As a Petaluma therapist, I offer individualized care for adolescents, adults, and families navigating OCD, anxiety, depression, and trauma. Your experience is unique, and so is the way we’ll work together. We’ll create a therapy plan tailored to your body, coping style, and goals so you can feel more confident and supported in facing life’s challenges.
I specialize in evidence-based therapy in Sonoma County, using approaches like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) for OCD, Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), and SPACE (Supportive Parenting for Anxious Childhood Emotions) for parent coaching.
Therapy Services
Adolescents: If you’re dealing with anxiety, OCD, depression, or just feeling overwhelmed by school, friends, or family. You’re not alone. Therapy can help you figure things out, build coping skills, and feel more in control of your thoughts and emotions. I use proven tools like CBT, DBT, and ERP in a way that fits you. No pressure, just support that makes sense for your life.
Individuals: Whether you're feeling overwhelmed by anxiety, stuck in cycles of self-doubt, navigating OCD, or carrying the weight of past trauma, therapy offers a space to slow down, reflect, and heal. I work collaboratively with individuals to identify goals, explore patterns, and build practical skills using evidence-based approaches like CBT, ERP, DBT, and EMDR. Together, we’ll create a path forward that feels empowering, supportive, and aligned with who you are.
Families: Families often seek support when stress, anxiety, OCD, or depression begin to impact relationships at home. I offer family therapy to help strengthen communication, reduce conflict, and build a deeper sense of connection. Whether you're navigating parenting challenges, teen mental health concerns, or long-standing relational patterns, I create a collaborative space where each family member can feel heard and supported. Together, we’ll develop practical strategies that restore balance and build resilience as a family.
