About
Ridhi A holds dual endorsement in Clinical and Educational and Developmental Psychology. She brings a warm, collaborative and engaging approach to her work, creating a space where clients feel genuinely supported through both therapy and assessment.
Her clinical work spans trauma across the lifespan, complex mood and personality/identity presentations, and comprehensive diagnostic assessment, including ADHD, autism, cognitive and educational assessments for young people and adults. She draws on more than a decade of experience across private practice, correctional settings, family violence services, community work, out-of-home care with children and young people, and has supported adult survivors of institutional child sexual abuse.
She works with adults and adolescents (8+ for assessment, 18+ for therapy), drawing on Psychodynamic therapy, CBT, ACT, DBT, Schema Therapy and Internal Family Systems, and tailors her approach to what each client actually needs rather than a one size fits all model. In addition to English, Ridhi is fluent in Hindi and Punjabi.
Alongside her clinical practice, Ridhi is the founder of PractaLuma, an AI powered practice management platform built for mental health clinicians, and is known for her work at the intersection of psychology and responsible AI in mental healthcare.
Outside the therapy room, Ridhi enjoys baking, walks with her dog Oscar, watching Netflix and hosting friends for dinner.
