Dr. Apoorva Shrivastava ^(she/her)🏳️‍🌈

7. July, 2025.

I’ve been working with Dr. Apoorva Shrivastav to uncover blind spots I didn’t want to see. I always knew deep down that my insecurity made me compare myself and try to prove I was good enough. But admitting it felt embarrassing and didn’t match how I saw myself, so I kept resisting it. I’m sharing this because therapy can feel slow, especially when you’re working through things you don’t want to see about yourself. But I’m also learning that these moments—when something finally clicks—make it all worth it. It clearly has been life-changing for me. One of my most recent lesson is - it’s normal to feel uncomfortable - that’s often when the real growth starts. View Google Review
