Who I am
I am Manisha Anila Gandhi, a licensed clinical social worker who specializes in trauma, anxiety, depression, life transitions, and women’s concerns. As a certified EMDR therapist and IFS Level 1 trained practitioner, I integrate a range of evidence-based techniques to meet each client’s unique needs, fostering healing and personal growth.
My practice is rooted in a deep understanding of psychological and emotional complexities, enabling me to provide compassionate and tailored support. I strive to create a safe, nurturing space where clients can openly explore their challenges. By blending psychoanalytic principles with a holistic approach, I help individuals gain insight into their thought patterns and emotional responses, promoting self-awareness, resilience, and meaningful transformation.
I believe in addressing not just the symptoms but the underlying issues that contribute to mental health struggles. My goal is to guide clients toward effective coping strategies, emotional balance, and a more fulfilling life.

During your formative years, you may have felt misunderstood, unloved, or pressured to achieve perfection—experiences that continue to shape your adult life. As a result, you may feel isolated, drained, or disconnected while managing emotions like anger, frustration, anxiety, or depression. You might also find yourself in the role of the go-to “therapist” for others, offering support without seeking help for yourself.
If this resonates with you, I’m here to help. My approach centers on embracing your authentic self and creating a life that inspires you. Together, we’ll explore how to set boundaries without guilt, express emotions without judgment, and prioritize your well-being. Through a trauma-informed lens, I integrate mind-body techniques, mindfulness, Internal Family Systems (IFS), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and EMDR to guide you toward clarity, connection, and harmony within your heart, mind, and body.
I am a seasoned psychotherapist dedicated to helping individuals reconnect with their authentic selves and navigate life’s challenges with resilience and clarity. With over two decades of experience, I integrate various therapeutic modalities, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Internal Family Systems (IFS), EMDR, mindfulness, and humor, offering a holistic and personalized approach to healing.
I specialize in trauma-informed care, focusing on fostering self-compassion, establishing healthy boundaries, and empowering clients to lead lives filled with purpose and connection. Fluent in English, Kutchi, and Gujarati,
Whether in the therapy room or life, I am committed to helping people embrace their true selves and live lives that inspire them.
