About Us We have been married for almost six years and have experienced the greatest joys in life together as we have established our family which includes our three-year-old son Nikhil, our four-month-old daughter Niya, and our good boy Raja (our goofy and fun Golden Retriever)! We live in Largo, FL and love everything Pinellas! We enjoy family outings to the beautiful Indian Rocks Beach, our local Largo Central Park, and the wonderful local eateries Pinellas County has to offer. We pride ourselves on being involved in our community, spending time with our friends and family that live locally and serving our communities most essential needs related to the social work mission. Sometimes, we simply enjoy a day where we can shut down and watch fun movies with our kiddos, play in our homemade “redneck” pool, and sit back and relax.

I felt an honest connection with Dharti right away. She is a great listener and does a great job of tethering her therapy methods to the client on a personal level. She’s also open to feedback about the methods we are using, willing to pivot if something doesn’t seem to be working or resonating. Looking forward to more sessions with her!

She is very fun and at the same time very professional in addressing my needs and offers many suggestions.

Reviews (Travis)
Travis helped me out through one of the hardest times I've had in a long time, if not ever. He is considerate, laid back, thoughtful, honest, and most of all kind. He gets it. I would recommend Travis to anyone who needs a new perspective on life issues, or some new ideas and techniques to get through everyday problems. Good guy, smart, and easy to warm up to, and be honest with.

I feel like Travis does a great job. In fact, today I felt like we had a real breakthrough. It’s only my second session.

Travis is fantastic at helping me work through my process of healing. He asks introspective questions and listens well to help me put together the pieces myself. Top quality!

I've already recommended Travis to friends. He's excellent.

So far, I have only had 1 session, but he is very nice. He listens to me (that has been a problem in the past with other therapy sessions). He seems to really want to help. I'm excited for this journey.

Travis has redefined what therapy means for me. Over time his help has become something I really treasure, he has become a guide in my navigation of my psyche/brain. I think he sets an example of what a therapist should be. His friendly but professional approach is something that keeps impressing me time and time again. His knowledge knows no boundaries, and I would recommend him to anyone.

Travis is amazing and has been the most efficient therapist I've had. I can't fault his experience, approach, or availability, and in the short time already, I'm seeing noticeable benefits! An abundance of sincere thanks again, Travis, for applying such sound wisdom in a way my mind digests and actions it!

My counselor’s approach was confidential, inspiring, and problem focused. He gave awesome feedback, with resources that can help in the future. My counselor is a keeper.

I deliberately held off on posting a review until I'd had a few sessions, but at this point it's safe to say Travis knows exactly what he's doing! I came in thinking I knew everything about myself and where things went wrong, but he's led me to a bunch of new insights and strategies to manage my anxiety already. Easy to talk to and definitely a therapist I'd recommend.

Therapy seemed like the scariest thing ever ...until I met Travis. He’s super easy going and fun to talk to! I usually struggle with opening up but found it rather easy with Travis.

Travis has been so good at helping my husband and myself realize our needs and how to express them to our partner. These sessions are like closed doors waiting to be opened. These sessions have helped our marriage and has taught us how to communicate better.

Travis is a great counselor. Working with him has really helped me and made me glad that I gave therapy another try!

Travis is an amazing therapist. He was able to sort through my grief, exhaustion from attending 3 out of state funerals in 3 weeks, and frustration at dealing with fractured family dynamics at these services. He provided me with exercises and journaling suggestions to work through and process my feelings of anxiety and depression. Travis also gave me great ideas for how to improve my falling asleep routine, including a guided muscle relaxation technique. Everything Travis provided went straight to the heart of the matter and aided in getting me back on track to a safe and positive mental health. I would not hesitate to use Travis to work through issues which may arise in the future. Excellent service. Thank you!

Travis is very helpful, probably I’d say one of the best counselor/therapists I’ve spoken with. He really helps me set boundaries which I’ve never really done successfully before and helps me greatly with my codependency issues. I trust Travis he’s a very knowledgeable and kind person.

Travis provided me with support and insight during our discussions. He helped me develop coping skills and strategies for grieving and anxiety. He is very reliable, sincere, a good listener and compassionate person. This created a safe & comfortable place for me to share. I am so grateful to have been connected to him and would recommend him to anyone.

I don't have much experience with therapy, but I've never found someone who is such a great communicator, being able to capture everything I say and didn't say perfectly. He's extremely intuitive, his years of experience as well as his passion for what he does (including how well he is at it!) is remarkable. Because of Travis, I would recommend therapy to everyone.
