I work with individuals across the adult lifespan. I find great joy serving college students and graduate students, and professionals in academia. I have spent many years working in university counseling centers including University of Iowa, UC Davis, CSUN, Indiana University and Cornell Health. My practice tends to focus on helping clients improve their relationship with self, others and the world around them. Some common themes in my practice are self-discovery; self-compassion; gratitude; boundary setting; clarifying values, needs and wants, and intention; mindset; health and wellness; mindfulness; and finding ways to live more present and fully.

Psychotherapy is a profoundly personal and individualized process. It can foster a deeper understanding of self and others, promote healing and resilience, increase coping skills, change behaviors, instill hope, create meaning, and help individuals live their lives in more emotionally honest, authentic, and relationally connected ways. At the heart of the therapeutic process is a collaborative working relationship between therapist and client, and the best outcomes are achieved when there is a feeling of connection and understanding between the two. Continually attending to the fit between therapist and client is important in establishing a relationship that has the strength and ability to explore difficult experiences and the impact of those experiences on clients’ lives. Dr. Kapadia approaches the work with both curiosity and compassion, tailoring the treatment to the individual and using an integrative approach to meet each person’s needs. She draws from a variety of therapeutic orientations, including interpersonal, psychodynamic, family systems, and affect regulation models (cognitive-behavioral and dialectical behavior therapies).

I provide a safe, supportive space where we can explore challenges you’re facing, discover what matters most to you, and create meaningful change. My approach is warm, collaborative, and tailored to your unique needs—whether you’re navigating stress, relationship difficulties, uncertainty about the future, or just seeking personal growth. I believe in your resilience and capacity for healing, and I’m here to help you align your life with your values and goals. If you’re ready to take the next step, I’d love to support you on your journey.
