Dr. Sarika

Dr. Sarika Boora is a qualified psychologist with a wide range of experience and a very professional attitude. She has experience in independent practice, providing psychotherapy and assessment services to adults, as well as clinical supervision to other mental health providers.  

The session she takes is for a 50-60 min duration as this  duration is referred to as a "therapeutic hour." This length of time feels more contained, it encourages good use of time, it helps the client process what they learn, and allows them and the therapist to incorporate their findings in a non-judgemental and confidential environment.

She provides counseling for marriage and couples issues (certified couple counselor from Gottman's Institute, USA), depression, anxiety, trauma/PTSD, interpersonal concerns, grief, conflict management, work-life balance, assertiveness, and lack of motivation. She also specializes in helping individuals with building healthy lifestyle habits, overcoming emotional or binge eating, and building exercise and self-care routines. She is a pioneer of discernment counseling (counseling for couples to understand each other and decide on a direction for their marriage, whether that is divorce or one last try to make it work. It helps couples get out of that indecision purgatory).

 A crucial piece of working with her is identifying goals, hopes, and expectations for what one wants to change or achieve through counseling. She encourages her clients to stay accountable to themselves through goal setting, action planning, and identifying limiting beliefs and habits that might hold clients back from achieving their goals.
