Dr. Swati Varma is a Licensed Clinical Psychologist who received her degree at The Chicago School of Professional Psychology in 2015. In 2019, she completed training to be certified in working with individuals during the perinatal period of life. The perinatal period is defined as during and up to two years post pregnancy. Through personal and professional experience, she recognizes that parenthood is a journey that challenges one's identity, time management skills, and ability to care for oneself. Dr. Varma’s goal is to help individuals during this period to manage emotions that arise with this transition, while also providing parents tools for self-care.

Dr. Varma’s training and clinical background has been working with children and adolescents. From her experience in working in therapeutic day schools, she has gained skills to help parents advocate for their children within a school setting. Dr. Varma has a history of writing social emotional goals for Individualized Education Plans, and continues to work with parents to better understand the nuances of a school system.

In addition, Dr. Varma works with the young adult population, particularly those going through various transitions in life. She uses a relational and cognitive behavioral approach with individuals to better understand the impact of societal factors on daily life. She will work to better understand how you approach stressors, the impact your history has on these stressors, and how to communicate and advocate for your own needs in personal and professional settings.

Dr. Varma values a strong cultural approach to her work. She is a strong believer that you are the expert of your own family and environment. She strives to educate herself on each individual’s circumstance through a cultural lens that is preferred by the client. While English is her primary language, she is fluent in both Hindi and Punjabi.
