I offer virtual and in-person individual therapy to folks seeking culturally-sensitive, trauma-informed and immigration-aware care. I am committed to being an affirming space for folks who can be targets of discrimination based on their identity, e.g. LGBTQIA+, religious minorities, caste-oppressed people, survivors of intergenerational trauma due to colonialism, genocide, apartheid. 

For people who plan to use their insurance to pay for individual therapy, I am in-network with Premera/Lifewise, Regence, Aetna and Quest Behavioral Health. Please see the FAQ section about insurance.

If I am not in-network with your insurance, my “private-pay” fees are as follows: 

• First consultation: USD 250

• Follow-up sessions of individual therapy: USD 225

Availability:

1.30pm to 7pm PT, Monday to Thursday.

Limited weekend availability (private pay/out of network only).

I offer individual and group supervision and consultation to mental health professionals across the world who are in diverse stages of career development.

My supervisory approach is geared towards deepening your therapeutic skills and practicing in alignment with social justice values. My consultation services support psychotherapists who want to sharpen their cultural humility and deepen their liberatory praxis.  

I also offer career consultations for folks interested in studying in the U.S. to advance their mental health careers . Using a semi-therapeutic style to explore your hopes and dreams, I offer insights and reflections to help you determine ways to advance your mental health career. I help you make an informed decision about pursuing an education in the U.S. See the FAQ section for more details.

A one-time consultation to help individuals gain clarity about their mental health needs and goals, so they can identify the kind of therapist qualities and styles they will benefit from.

This service is especially for busy professionals who may be overwhelmed by the time and energy it takes to find the right therapist. We are here to take some of the overwhelm out of the process for you.

This service may be particularly beneficial for first-time therapy users or people who have tried a bunch of therapists but not found the right match.

Given the racial nature of the immigration system in the U.S, there is an intersectional impact of immigration status and race.

As a first-generation immigrant in the U.S., Dr. Gitika Talwar ("Dr. G") has personal and professional experience that makes her uniquely qualified to address the mental health needs of immigrants in the U.S. She is a former international student from India (from Maharashtra!), who has also survived the Green Card Backlog that plagues Indian immigrants in the U.S.

Dr. G offers customized workshops for groups and organizations interested in mental health of immigrant and BIPOC communities.

I have an upcoming CE-granting training on this topic:
