    “Dr. Sekhsaria is a kind, warm, and empathic therapist whose dedication to her work is unparalleled. It is clear in her practice that she embodies these values both with her clients, and in her own activism in her community. Though her knowledge and experience comes through in her work, she remains grounded and relatable as an authentic person.

    “I worked with Dr. Sekhsaria for a number of years, and know that she works hard to consistently develop her expertise and clinical skills, and to understand what it takes to translate research to therapy. She pairs her passion with warmth and compassion, to be a wonderful therapist who is capable of meeting her clients where they are, and guiding them to where they want to be. I would recommend her to anyone looking for a supportive and skilled therapist.”

  • — Dr. Brett Kirkpatrick

    I have been a colleague of Dr. Sekhsaria's for several years now.  She is definitely very knowledgeable and sharp, but as another reviewer said she is also extremely warm and caring.  She is a proud Texan as well, which just adds to her fun personality too.  Lastly, I would say that she is by far one of the most non-judgemental people I have ever met, and that is an invaluable trait for a psychologist.  I certainly highly recommend her, especially for couples work.
