Dr Tejal Jakatdar

Licensed Psychologist

“Evidence-based treatment that shows results in a compassionate and collaborative framework.”

About Me

I offer a compassionate space to explore your concerns. We will work collaboratively, drawing on evidence-based approaches to help you find effective strategies. Our sessions focus on practical, tailored steps designed to show tangible results. If you are seeking clear progress in a supportive environment, our partnership can help you move forward.

Approach

Evidence-based work guides how we test and refine strategies together, keeping sessions focused and practical. In my San Jose office or via secure online meetings in English, you'll notice sessions move at a steady, collaborative pace: clear goals, short skill-building exercises, and between-session experiments tailored to your everyday life. I track what works and adjust rapidly, blending attention to thought patterns, behaviors, and emotional responses so progress is measurable. This approach tends to suit adults seeking steady, practical relief from anxiety, mood shifts, or difficulties with body image and adjustment.
