Sweta Venkataramanan

Every session feels like a mix of insight, humor, and emotional depth. And she thinks I'M funny too! Highly recommend to anyone looking for a therapist who is both real and incredibly skilled.

I was a client who left sessions because I moved to a state she wasn't licensed in. She tried her best to refer me to other clinicians in my new (very red, conservative) state and they were all anti-lgbt and overtly Christian. When I reached back out to Dr. V about this - she not only provided me with some helpful messages, but started working on getting licensed in my state! I've never had anyone care for me like she does. We've been able to resume sessions and I'm so grateful.

From the moment I reached out to her after the birth of my child, Dr. V has been a constant source of strength and stability for me. She created a safe and nurturing space where I felt heard, understood, and supported as I navigated the complexities of motherhood and the adjustments that came with it.When I faced the difficult decision to go through a divorce, Dr. V was there for me every step of the way. She offered unwavering support and practical guidance as I navigated the emotional turmoil and uncertainty of the process. Her insight helped me find clarity amidst the chaos and empowered me to make decisions that were in alignment with my values and well-being.Whether it was through emails, texts, or scheduled sessions, she always made herself available when I needed her most. Her willingness to go above and beyond to support me, even outside of our scheduled appointments, speaks volumes about her dedication to her clients' well-being.

I've had the privilege of working with Dr. V since the beginning of the pandemic, and I can't express enough gratitude for the support she has provided me during this challenging time. Her professionalism, empathy, and dedication have made a significant difference in my life.From our very first session, Dr. V created a safe and welcoming space where I felt comfortable expressing my thoughts and emotions. She listened attentively, offered insightful guidance, and helped me develop coping strategies to navigate the uncertainties of the pandemic.Throughout our time together, Dr. V has been a constant source of support, offering encouragement and validation when I needed it most. Her genuine care and compassion have made our sessions feel like a sanctuary amidst the chaos of the outside world.As I prepare to move out of state, I am filled with mixed emotions, but I am also grateful for the growth and progress I've experienced with Dr. V

Dr. V was one of the first therapist who truly understood me and didn't immediately make assumptions based on my background. I have recommended her to all my friends and friends of friends that need therapists - even my barber. From my sessions with her I've become much better about regulating my emotions and sharing what I'm feeling rather than shutting down

I don't agree with the negative reviews on here. Dr. V was professional, kind, considerate, and genuinely cares. I worked with her for over 3 years and always felt cared for. She followed up and responded to my requests for emergency appts when I needed her quickly with my relationship struggles. She encouraged me to come out of my shell and really helped me navigate my anxiety to venture out into dating again. And then helped me actually show up for the dates. Thanks to her I'm in my first successful relationship!

Like already mentioned by others, she would often multitask and not be present during sessions. She yawned during sessions, would cancel last minute and was super unprofessional and insensitive. Often times sessions felt like a facetime call- where she had no proper office and kept moving around mid session. Did not seem to care at all about her work or her patients and also was very delayed in charging for payments and was not upfront about payment costs. She often comes off condescending, aloof, and quite judgemental. Highly recommend finding a different psychotherapist to go to - there are a lot of great people out there who are much kinder and more helpful.

Dr. Sweta Venkataramanan would often loudly multitask ( cleaning dishes, chores, you name it) during out telephone sessions together. I also found her communication style to be a bit insensitive and I felt she did not respect me or my time.

Dr. V genuinely cares for her patients, and I felt that through every consultation. I have had several therapists over the years while moving from different residents, and Dr. V has been my favorite and most helpful. She helped me during a very difficult and uncertain time in my life. She gave me the brain tools that helped me make big decisions like moving, my relationship, and going back to school all while remaining unbiased! I actively took notes and tried to do all the worksheets she would offer. She has helped me navigate through life in a much healthier way! I still remember so many of the things that she has taught me, and I am so much less reactive because of her. I am so grateful to have met her when I did! 1000% would recommend! I have actually referred her to all of my friends!

I had read good things about Dr. Sweta Venkataramanan on Psychology Today so reached out to her a couple months ago to start sessions. I never actually had therapy sessions with her because she consistently missed our appointments (initial consult and appointments) and blamed it on our schedules not aligning. It all started when we agreed to a recurring session time and set up a consult ahead of our first session. She never called me during the consult time. I emailed her about 30 minutes later, asking if the time still worked and she said "I will call you in 5 minutes." She never called, and I got an email from her late at night asking if we could do the consult a couple days later. A day before our first appointment, I asked her if we could change our recurring time given my work schedule and she agreed and we planned to start the following week. That new time comes around and a couple hours before our first appointment she emails me asking if we can start next week because she actu
