About Me

About Nishan Palaniyandi

I’m Nishan Palaniyandi, LCSW, a licensed clinical social worker passionate about guiding individuals through life’s challenges. With years of experience in anxiety, depression, trauma, and life transitions, I provide a compassionate and culturally sensitive space for healing.

My journey into therapy was driven by a deep desire to help others find strength in their struggles. I’ve worked extensively with adolescents, adults, and men’s mental health, as well as individuals navigating cultural identity and acculturation challenges. Understanding the complexities of mental health, I strive to empower my clients to gain clarity, resilience, and self-acceptance.

To create a safe, judgment-free environment where individuals can explore their emotions, heal from past wounds, and build a meaningful, fulfilling life. I believe in therapy that is empathetic, collaborative, and tailored to each person’s unique needs.
