Portia Reddy

My communication style

I provide a casual, relaxed atmosphere to explore the root of your anxiety, depression, and executive dysfunction using cognitive behavioral therapy and mindfulness-based techniques. A session feels more like conversing with a friend than sharing struggles with a stranger.

My journey to mental healthcare

I stumbled into becoming a therapist. I wanted to attend graduate school but struggled to select a major. Several classmates saw my potential and encouraged me to explore the field. I enjoyed my practicum experience and found it rewarding to help others navigate their lives to be their best selves.

My goals for you

I work with you to identify short-term goals that alleviate the immediate concern bringing you to therapy. Then, we set longer-term goals to process additional stressors or traumas and support your personal growth and development.

Our first session

The first session is a review of intake paperwork and clarification of information to better understand what brought you to counseling. We explore your current stressors and devise short-term goals to help you establish coping skills, then set up the next appointment.
