Clinical Psychologist
At the heart of her approach, Dr. Saini trusts that a healthy state of mind is intimately tied to maintaining a genuine connection with yourself, which begins by developing a greater sense of self-awareness. At its core, this connection within is the trust that one way or another, you will be able to handle whatever you may encounter in life, whether it be a crisis or simply, the challenges of daily life. The practice of focusing on yourself empowers you to trust your instincts and builds your inner strength and resilience. Nurturing this connection enhances the quality of your life as it invites and creates the space for more positive and fulfilling interactions with others and the world around you.
Therapy has the power to gently challenge and shift your mindset to help you understand that everything you need lies within you. As a Clinical Psychologist, Dr. Saini helps individuals achieve a greater understanding of themselves and improve their emotional well-being and quality of life. She utilizes various therapeutic approaches, including psychodynamic psychotherapy, play therapy, mindfulness, and cognitive and behavioral therapies, to treat a wide range of mental, emotional, and behavioral disorders and help individuals develop essential life skills. She works with children, adolescents, and adults and is especially passionate about working with trauma, including complex/developmental trauma.
Dr. Saini graduated with her doctorate in Clinical Psychology from Midwestern University (Downers Grove, IL campus) and her experiences have included working in residential, school, hospital, and outpatient settings. She is currently the President of Midwestern University’s Alumni Diversity Council and actively engaged in efforts to implement diversity initiatives in various healthcare fields to help reduce disparities in healthcare. In her free time, Dr. Saini enjoys choreographing and performing traditional and contemporary East Indian dancing.
