Dr. Sursatie Chetram , LPC

Dr. Sursatie Chetram is a licensed psychotherapist who works with individuals, couples, and families to address a wide range of emotional and interpersonal concerns. She has supported people experiencing relationship difficulties, trauma, depression, anxiety, PTSD, grief, parenting challenges, career obstacles, and life transitions, and has specific experience with domestic abuse, family violence, and mood dysregulation. Dr. Chetram employs a strength-based, interactive approach that emphasizes respect and compassion while tailoring treatment to each person’s needs.

Her practice is integrative, drawing from cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), talk therapy, dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR), and rational emotive therapy (RET). These methods are combined to create individualized plans that aim to foster coping skills, emotional regulation, and healthier patterns in relationships and daily life. Dr. Chetram holds the LPC credential - Licensed Professional Counselor - which signifies formal training and licensure to provide mental health services.

She frames therapy as a collaborative process focused on practical steps toward self-care and personal growth, and she encourages people at different life stages to seek support as a normal part of moving toward balance and wellbeing.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) encourages clients to clarify their values and take committed actions toward a more meaningful life while learning to accept difficult thoughts and feelings. It is often helpful for stress, anxiety, and navigating life transitions.

Attachment-Based Therapy explores patterns formed in early relationships and how those patterns affect current connections and emotional responses. This approach can be useful for relationship struggles, issues of abandonment, and parenting concerns.

Dr. Chetram approaches treatment collaboratively, recognizing that finding the right method is part of the therapeutic process. She works with clients to identify goals, test different strategies, and adapt the approach to match each person’s needs and preferences.

Online therapy offers flexible access to licensed professionals through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, making it easier to fit care into busy schedules or manage barriers to in-person visits. These options support continuity of care and allow therapy to continue across locations and life changes.
