Dyuti Ganesh – Psychology Associate
Dyuti Ganesh is a recent graduate of the University of Maryland and a registered Psychology Associate. She will be providing individual and group therapy under the supervision of Dr. Ari Yares. She utilizes a relational-cultural approach that prioritizes the client-therapist relationship. Her belief is that the nature of relationships is to grow and thus, her approach involves authenticity, humility, playfulness, acceptance, and respect in working with children and families. She integrates theories that evolve from psychodynamic, cognitive behavioral, and dialectical behavioral modalities along with mindfulness practices in order to facilitate self-awareness and self-acceptance within clients. Dyuti enjoys the blend of Western evidence-based treatments with Eastern mindfulness-based practices to result in a holistic, strengths-based, mind-body approach to mental health and well-being.
