Nidhi Trivedi

Psychologist

Virtual • Illinois


All of us are striving to be true to ourselves and our loved ones around us. Feeling authentic and true to who we are can assist us in living life the way we would like to. You could be experiencing mood-related difficulties as a reaction to grief, trauma, depression, substance use, identity issues, cross-cultural issues, and relational difficulties, which I specialize in working with. Through my own lived experiences, I have a keen interest in working with immigrants, first-generation immigrants, and fellow therapists.


Initiating therapy is often the hardest first step. I strive to create an encouraging, safe, and respectful space in therapy for your feelings, experiences, and life goals. Give me a call today for a free 15-20 minute phone consultation to learn more about one another, and to discuss a plan.

Hi, and welcome! I’m Jamie, and I’m really glad you’ve taken this step to prioritize yourself. The next, and most important part, is finding a therapist who feels like the right fit for you.

I am experienced and educated in multiple approaches of therapy, integrating the mind and body to address insecurities with emotions, thoughts, and behaviors. My approach is informed by your unique personality, history, values, and goals to weave together a treatment map that feels meaningful and relevant.
