Ridhima Ohri, LMHC, NCC

Ridhima is a Master’s level clinician from India with a Bachelor’s degree from Panjab University, a Master’s in Mental Health Counseling from the University of Rochester, and a Certification in Positive Psychology from the University of North Carolina. In addition to that, she is a Mental Health Counselor nationally certified by the NBCC.

She has experience providing long-term evidence-based psychotherapy through various therapy modalities like CBT, DBT, TF-CBT, ACT, and EFT. Tidhima is passionate about giving her clients a voice and supporting them in becoming the best version of themselves. Working closely with clients in the treatment process and providing them with the necessary skills to achieve lifelong change is something that is important to her. Rishima is always looking for new, individualized interventions and assists clients in using the insights and knowledge gained in psychotherapy to develop effective, healthy coping skills, interpersonal skills, distress tolerance skills, communication skills, and proficiency in personal stress and symptom management.

Hailing from a culture that frowns upon the idea of mental health, Ridhima knew in her heart that she wanted to break this stigma. She then began her journey to normalize mental health. Upon recognizing the lack of awareness and resources, Ridhima took it upon herself to be the change she wished to see in the world. Over the years, she has had the privilege to work with a large number of patients, but many minority populations still feel embarrassed as they struggle to find mental stability, which stops them from seeking help. This motivates her to continue educating and providing support through a non-judgmental lens-to make mental health support more accessible and a part of normal day-to-day conversations.
