Shloka Iyer

Shloka Iyer

Therapist

Virtual • California


I work with high-functioning adults who are navigating self-doubt, imposter syndrome, anxiety, and life transitions. You might be juggling a lot, appearing “fine” on the outside, but inside things feel heavier, disconnected, or uncertain.

My style is exploratory and grounded. I’ll follow your lead while helping you stay connected to what matters most to you. I use humor often because therapy doesn’t always have to feel heavy, and I aim to create a space that feels warm, real, and supportive.
