Hi, I’m Nalini.

Practice Owner & Therapist at Insight Out Therapy

I am a passionate clinical social worker licensed in Maryland and Washington, D.C! I earned my Master of Social Work (MSW) degree from Adelphi University in New York, and I have been a practicing therapist for nearly a decade. In my practice, my focus is on helping adults navigate and process a variety of life transitions, complex trauma experiences, and challenging interpersonal relationships. My mission is to guide individuals through the process of developing a deeper self-understanding and cultivating effective strategies for coping with the challenges that life presents to us.

My Treatment Methods

Psychodynamic Therapy

Explore how previous life experiences can impact decision making and mindset in the present moment. The focus is increasing self-awareness and self-understanding. We will develop skills to make good choices in the long term. It's important to note that psychodynamic therapy is often a long-term process, requiring patience and commitment.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy

Explore the connection between our thoughts (cognitions), behavior and emotions. Learn how to slow this process down to manage symptoms of PTSD, depression, anxiety.

Acceptance and Comittment Therapy

Learn to understand your relationship with your thoughts and feelings. Instead of trying to change or avoid your emotions, ACT teaches you to accept them as a natural part of being human. This acceptance allows you to focus on taking action and living a life aligned with your values.
