ABOUT DR. SHEENA
HI, I’M DR. SHEENA SACHDEV
I believe we are wired for connection. In a world where loneliness and anxiety are at an all-time high, it is easy to feel like you are carrying everything on your own. My work focuses on creating spaces where people can come together, share openly, and rediscover meaning in community.
​
My style is genuine, conversational, and approachable. You will not find clinical jargon or a cold atmosphere here. Instead, you will find a therapist who meets you where you are and helps you feel seen, understood, and supported.
PROFESSIONAL EXPERIENCE
I earned my Doctorate in Psychology (Psy.D.) and a Master’s in Clinical Psychology from The Chicago School of Professional Psychology in Los Angeles, as well as a Master’s in Applied Psychology from New York University.
My clinical training includes:
-
Individual, couples, and group counseling at The Chicago School of Psychology Clinic
-
Therapy for individuals and groups at Tarzana Treatment Center
-
Family, couples, and individual therapy at The Children’s Center
-
Group and individual therapy for individuals with disabilities during internship
-
Work with college students at Pierce College
Throughout my career, I have led a variety of groups, including mindfulness, yoga, creativity, and existential depression and anxiety groups.
​
I specialize in depression, anxiety, and relationships, using an existential and humanistic lens to help people live with greater meaning and purpose.
MY PHILOSOPHY
Therapy is not just about solving problems. It is about exploring meaning, purpose, and belonging. Through an existential approach, I help people navigate life’s biggest questions: freedom and responsibility, identity, connection, and what it means to live fully.
​
Much of my work happens at what I call The Existential Table. This is a welcoming space where people gather to share stories, struggles, and reflections in community. It is less about therapy and more about being human together.
FEATURED PODCAST CONVERSATION
I was recently invited to the Fit For Joy podcast, where I shared more about my work, my philosophy, and why I created The Existential Table. Listening to the full conversation will give you a deeper sense of my approach and the values that guide my practice.
