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.
