Therapeutic style
Tulsi believes that the beauty of life is in its ups and downs, however, there are times in our journey when life comes with challenges that may feel overwhelming or unmanageable. Connecting with a therapist can allow individuals the opportunity to unpack feelings of stress and emotional distress while identifying effective ways to cope. Tulsi strives to create a safe, non-judgmental, and collaborative therapeutic space where individuals feel heard and hopeful. Her work includes validating emotions, identifying, and highlighting strengths and collaboratively working on goals toward change and growth.
Tulsi adopts an eclectic approach to Psychotherapy, drawing from various therapeutic models, including the principles of Cognitive-Behavioral Psychotherapy (CBT), mindfulness, strength-based, solution-focused, and person-centered techniques, amongst others. She aims at helping people better understand their thoughts, feelings, and emotions, as well as address unhelpful behaviors and highlight effective coping mechanisms through trauma-informed practices.
