Divya Gulati
Divya Gulati is a Registered Psychotherapist with a special interest in childhood trauma, attachment issues, abandonment, and early patterns that shape our lives. She believes therapy is most powerful when it addresses the root rather than just the symptoms. Drawing from her own experiences with anxiety and self-esteem, she brings presence, authenticity, and a commitment to creating a trusting, safe environment. If you're unsure about starting therapy, Divya encourages you to try just one session and see how it feels.

Booking FAQ
First Session charges each session directly to your credit card. Once each session occurs, and your card is charged, you will receive a PDF receipt to your email with all of the details you will need to get reimbursed (therapist name, license/designation, license number, address, etc). You can then submit the receipt to your insurance company for reimbursement.
You are the expert when it comes to knowing who is the right fit. Ensure you’ve watched the therapist video at the top of their profile and see if you get a good feeling from the message and the energy they are putting out. If you feel drawn to speak with them, listen to your gut! Booking a free consultation is a great first step to asses fit.
