Get to know more about Pallavi
Pallavi Rohatgi, MA, Ed.M., MHC-LP is a Columbia University–trained New York State Mental Health Counselor (Limited Permit) with dual master’s degrees in Counseling Psychology and Mental Health Counseling from Teachers College, Columbia University. She also holds a Master of Laws from the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, and a Bachelor of Laws from the University of Pune, India.
Pallavi brings over two decades of lived experience to her work as a bilingual (English & Hindi) therapist—experience that spans continents, careers, and life roles. Before entering the field of mental health, she worked as a lawyer, filmmaker, nonprofit leader, and mother. Her own nonlinear journey informs her deep respect for the multiple identities and stories her clients carry, and the need for therapy to hold all of it with care.
At the heart of Pallavi’s work is the belief that therapy isn’t about fixing—it’s about honoring what’s already there. It’s a space to pause, reflect, and reconnect with parts of ourselves that may have been silenced or forgotten. She holds therapy as a practice of truth-telling, curiosity, and compassion—and as a place where clients can slowly rebuild trust in themselves and begin again.
What should a new client know about working with you?
Pallavi's practice is grounded in the understanding that life doesn’t unfold in straight lines—and neither does healing. Pallavi works with individuals navigating transitions, identity shifts, grief, trauma, and the often unseen emotional terrain of motherhood and caregiving. She is particularly drawn to supporting women in midlife or mid-career, as well as those seeking to reconnect with a deeper sense of self after years of striving, surviving, or putting others first.
Process for Working With Clients
Pallavi’s therapeutic style is warm, collaborative, and steady. She is especially skilled at holding space for complexity, contradiction, and emotional heaviness, meeting clients with deep listening and a calm, attuned presence.
Her approach draws from psychodynamic and behavioural frameworks and integrates training in AEDP (Accelerated Experiential Dynamic Psychotherapy), TLDP (Time-Limited Dynamic Psychotherapy), REBT (Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy), mindfulness, and self-compassion practices.
Pallavi creates a safe, nonjudgmental environment where clients can untangle patterns, process experiences, and gently re-imagine their inner lives
I would highly recommend Pallavi as she’s very articulate with her words, empathetic, and very respectful. She’s a blessing!
