Hi, I’m Dyuti 👋

I offer psychotherapy services supporting individuals and couples through a blend of evidence-based approaches, deep listening, and a culturally affirming practice that aims to foster growth and confidence to thrive as your true Self. I also offer consultation and mentorship to early career clinicians seeking agency and fulfillment in the clinical mental health field.

My practice is based in Washington, DC and also serves those in Maryland. I look forward to getting to know you and building a therapeutic relationship that allows you to feel safe to show up as you are. My hope in working together is to be with you as you achieve long-lasting change from the inside out.

Clinical Philosophy

My practice is informed by anti-racist & anti-capitalist frameworks and minority stress theory. I aim to create a space for individuals with marginalized racial, ethnic, and cultural identities & backgrounds to feel seen, heard, and supported. I view therapy as an opportunity to affirm your identity, deepen Self-understanding, and move toward greater harmony and satisfaction in your life over time.

Training & Education

I earned my Master’s degree in Clinical Psychological Science from the University of Maryland and completed a post-master’s certification in Clinical Mental Health Counseling at Johns Hopkins University.

My professional post-graduate training includes:

  • Clinical Practice of Psychodynamic Psychotherapy at The New Washington School of Psychiatry

  • EMDR Therapy at the Institute for Creative Mindfulness

  • Couples Therapy including Emotionally Focused - EFCT and Psychobiological Approach - PACT

  • Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy including Dialectical-Behavioral - DBT and Mindfulness-Based - MB-CBT

  • Clinical Trauma Professional Certification

With over 10 years of experience, I’ve worked across clinical, research, school, and community-based settings supporting children, families, adults, and couples.

Beyond the therapy room

Outside of my clinical work, I’m a lifelong learner and curious explorer. I love to cook (and eat!), especially vegetarian dishes inspired by global cuisines.

Traveling brings me immense joy. I’ve lived in four U.S. states and two countries and hope to keep discovering new cultures and places. I was raised between the U.S. and India and that bicultural experience introduced me to holistic ways of living early in life. I’m passionate about sustainability, gardening (I started with grow kits during the pandemic!), and mind-body practices. I’m also a certified yoga instructor (RYT-300, Yoga Alliance) and enjoy sharing the traditions of Yoga and Ayurveda as part of a balanced, grounded life.
