Nirvana Counseling
An integration of East & West
About
My name is Chethana Pandit and I am a registered Professional Counselor Associate in Oregon and Washington. I specialize in providing individual, couples as well as family therapy for teens and adults.
My Perspective and Goal
As human beings, pain, and challenges are all integral parts of our lives, but it does not mean that we have to suffer because of those - we can learn to be peaceful, and handle challenges effectively and efficiently.
My goal in therapy is to meet people where they are in their lives without any prejudice, understand their situations and needs, offer them the needed support, comfort, and resources, teach them the needed skills to cope with distress, help them heal from their emotional wounds, and bring peace and optimism into their lives.
My Approach
Coming from one of the ancient civilizations in the world, India, and growing up in an environment where holistic approach that focuses on addressing any situation holistically considering a person's physical, emotional, social and spiritual aspects, as well as natural healing techniques like ayurveda, yoga, mindfulness, etc., that aim at addressing the root cause along with addressing its manifestations are all integral parts of wellness and the essence of everyday living, I instinctively focus on the bigger picture and natural remedies.
Along with that, my additional training in yoga, ayurveda, reiki, etc., plus, having integrated those time-tested elements in my life for the last 30 years in the Western world, gives me the privilege of seeing the situation holistically, and leveraging and adapting those tools as and when needed based on the situation, and more importantly, based on my client’s preferences.
