About
I am a Nepali clinical psychologist with 9 years of experience working with individuals across South Asia and the diaspora. My practice is grounded in culturally-informed, trauma-aware approaches β I understand the unique pressures of collectivist family structures, academic stress, and the identity challenges faced by South Asian communities globally. I offer sessions in Nepali, Hindi, and English.

Dr. Pradhan understood my situation without me having to over-explain the cultural context. That alone was worth so much. She speaks Nepali and English fluently and switches naturally. Highly recommended for anyone from South Asia living abroad.
I struggled a lot with family pressure and academic stress. She helped me build boundaries while still honouring my culture. A rare balance that most western therapists don't understand.
Very professional and empathetic. The sessions are well-structured. I appreciate that she adjusts her approach based on my cultural background without me needing to explain every detail.
