About
Hello and welcome! I’m glad you’re here. My name is Dr. Harneet Kaur Sahni, a licensed clinical psychologist in New York and California. Over the past eight years across therapeutic schools, academic centers, outpatient hospital clinics and private practice, I have dedicated my career to walking alongside individuals and families as they navigate life’s complexities. We all experience moments that feel overwhelming, but I firmly believe you don’t have to go through them alone. In our work together, I strive to create a safe, compassionate space where you are seen holistically, far beyond a diagnosis or set of symptoms. My goal is to meet you where you are and foster a strong therapeutic partnership. Together, we will build on your natural strengths, navigate obstacles, and align your life with your values.
My passion for specializing in working with autistic and neurodivergent individuals comes from a deep respect for neurodiversity and a commitment to seeing each person beyond a diagnosis or set of symptoms. Throughout my work across therapeutic day schools, specialty clinics, and private practice, I have been continually inspired by the unique strengths, insights, and resilience of neurodivergent clients. I believe that effective support starts with following a client’s lead, honoring their individual communication style, and creating a safe, compassionate space where they feel truly heard. My goal is to partner with clients and their families—whether through evidence-based therapies, play, art, or parent collaboration—to navigate daily challenges, build on inherent strengths, and foster self-advocacy. Together, we work toward creating a life that feels authentic, fulfilling, and aligned with your values.
My clinical practice is rooted in compassion, affirmation, and a deep respect for individual difference. I believe that true healing and growth happen when we follow a client’s lead, recognizing that seeking support is a powerful sign of strength. In our work together, I prioritize creating a safe, non-judgmental environment where your identity, values, and experiences are fully honored. Instead of focusing solely on obstacles, we systematically map out and build upon your natural abilities and internal resources. By blending structured, evidence-based care with flexible, creative approaches, I empower clients and families to navigate life's complexities while staying grounded in their authentic selves.
