A Note from Sivan:

Each client brings a unique personal and clinical history, shaped by their experiences and belief systems. I provide an individualized, evidence-based, and integrative therapeutic approach designed to meet each client’s specific needs within a supportive and collaborative environment. Together, we work toward meaningful goals, including symptom relief, improved functioning, and the development of effective coping strategies. While life can present significant stressors and challenges, therapy offers a compassionate space to increase insight, strengthen emotional regulation, and foster long-term resilience. I am deeply committed to providing ethical, thoughtful, and empathetic care, and I welcome individuals seeking support for mental health concerns, life transitions, or personal growth.
