Frequently Asked Questions

I Do. But there is a catch: I (Gitika) noticed I don’t feel like myself within the time and interview-style format of a 15-minute consultation session. So I encourage folks to book a session and experience a full session and decide next steps after that.
If you’re interested in confirming whether I am the right person to support your need for therapy, supervision, or consultation, I encourage you to read my website.
Use the contact form to get in touch with your questions and feel free to request a 15-minute consultation.
And yes, I offer in-person appointments through my office at Pioneer Square in downtown Seattle. I offer virtual appointments too.

Yes! I offer a service called Therapist Ally , a one-time consultation to assist you in the finding the Ideal Fit Therapist. I offer such consultations to people across the United States, not just Washington state.
After spending over 5 years at a university counseling center, I learned how to use short-term therapy to figure out what kind of therapy styles and qualities click with different people. I also realized it's super tough to find the right therapist if you're not familiar with the mental health system or how to pay for sessions.
Through Therapist Ally, I share what I've learned to help people get clear on their mental health needs and how to address them.
This service could be especially helpful if you're new to therapy or if you've tried a few therapists and just haven't found the right fit.
