Hello,
I'm Nimantha Hordagoda
LCSW# 95765
In my clinical work and lived experience, I have witnessed the capacity for people to move beyond their past and create lives that feel more peaceful, grounded, and aligned. If you are experiencing challenges in your relationships, with setting and honoring boundaries, feeling stuck, unfulfilled or disconnected from yourself, therapy can provide a structured space to explore the origins of your patterns and, develop practical interventions that support lasting growth. This work centers on cultivating insight with direction- deepening the understanding of yourself and your history so you can move forward in more intentional and adaptive ways. We will explore the parts of you that learned to adapt, hide, or recede in order to stay safe or cope, and work toward developing a more trusting relationship with yourself. It is with a deep level of respect for your unique journey and the human experience I will walk beside you every step of the way.

My Approach:
As your therapist we will work towards developing insight, perspective, and the skills needed to move forward with clarity, authenticity and courage. I work from the understanding that who you are is inseparable from where you’ve been. Honoring how your history, culture, relationships, life circumstances, and inner patterns all shape one another and quietly shape your relationship with yourself and others. I take an insight oriented and relational approach, integrating values-based and mindfulness strategies to support change that lasts. Together, we’ll work to unlearn what’s familiar but harmful, reconnect with your body’s wisdom, and how to choose growth even when it feels uncomfortable. Also aim to rebuild a trusting relationship with yourself so you can feel more confident in the decisions you make. We’ll build the tools that help you stay centered when life feels uncertain and disappointing, empowering you to move through change in ways that feel aligned and sustainable.
I work with individuals who are ready to break old patterns and approach their inner world with honesty, curiosity, and a desire for meaningful lasting change. I provide a supportive environment for exploring experiences shaped by fear, shame, guilt, or self-doubt experiences that often feel too difficult to navigate alone.
I work with individuals, couples and families.
