I practice from a developmental, strengths-based, and multi-cultural stance through individual and family counseling.

I also present at state, national, and international conferences on a variety of topics in giftedness and twice-exceptionality.

SHEILA ABICHANDANI

Sheila Abichandani is a therapist in Boulder, CO who serves the holistic needs of complex individuals. Sheila received her B.S. in Biology and Neuroscience from Emory University and her M.A. in Mental Health Counseling from Northwestern University. She has supported Gifted and Profoundly Gifted children and their families for over 10 years in a range of capacities, including: SENG support group facilitator, parent coach, nutritionist, school advocate, and, now, counselor and consultant for children, adolescents, adults, families, and organizations.

While her clinical practice is informed by training in evidence-based practices and extensive study of psychodynamics, attachment theory, and existential therapy, her role as mother of a PG child also serves as a touchstone of skill, compassion, surrender, and empowerment.

She hopes to demystify and reconcile some of the tensions of the inner experience of the Gifted individual with the external realities of everyday life. With warmth, humor, and intelligence, Sheila joins the client in a secure and kind relationship that can unlock the possibilities of growth and change.
