It is a pleasure to introduce myself to you. I’m Sivani Pelluru.

I am a MFT intern currently working towards finishing my Masters of Arts in Counseling Psychology to help a diverse community with children, teenagers, individual adults, couples and families. My prior experience in the therapeutic field has been working for 2 and a half years as a Certified Behavior Technician with children and adults, from ages 2-22 years old who have been diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder, who often were simultaneously diagnosed with ADHD. 

Similar to the skills we use as an MFT, I have a strong experience with working with children’s maladaptive behaviors, as well as collaborating to effectively adjust and tailor a functional behavior intervention plan to suit each children’s individual needs. Alongside families while using shared control with children to ensure client’s feeling safe and comfortable at all times through every step of the therapeutic journey. Including, collaborating to improve coping strategies and replacement behaviors and/or thought patterns to increase independent daily functioning. While my experience highlights working with children and families more deeply, I welcome all opportunities to work with a widely diverse community, to help as many people as I possibly can, by bringing in my experience and merging it with new skills that can be the most beneficial to you. 

I will be drawing upon varying approaches of therapy such as cognitive-behavioral, narrative, solution-focused, person-centered, etc. In order to best support you, I will adjust the approach to your needs through every step and every session as necessary while collaborating to work to reassess what changes need to be implemented to ensure safe progress.

My intention is to treat you and your experiences as your own and welcome them as they are to collaboratively find safe ways to work through them to increase your quality of life.

My achievements: 

• Graduated from University of California, Irvine with a B.A. in Psychological Sciences. 
• Worked as a Certified Behavior Technician for children and adults diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder for 2 and a half years, while conducting in-home therapy. 
• Currently completing a Masters of Arts in Counseling Psychology with National University.
