ABOUT
The psychologist behind Marigold Minds
Hi, I'm Dr. Divya Bhagavatula. I built this practice for people who look like me — who juggle expectations, identity, and ambition while pushing through stress, burnout, or health challenges. I know how isolating it can feel to be the strong one, and how healing it is to have a space where you don't have to be.
Many of my clients navigate bicultural identities, family expectations, workplace stress, and the pressure to "have it all together." These experiences often show up in both mind and body — from chronic stress, anxiety, depression, and burnout to tension, chronic pain, fatigue, and sleep struggles.
“If you’re ready to prioritize yourself without compromising who you are, I’d love to work together.”
My approach
Direct & honest — I'll challenge you when needed, but always with compassion.
Culturally grounded — your whole identity belongs here: culture, faith, language, and lived experience.
Evidence-based — I use proven, research-driven strategies from CBT, ACT, and behavioral medicine to help you make real change.
I'm a South Asian clinical health psychologist with over ten years of experience supporting diverse clients in healthcare and mental health settings. I specialize in stress management, bicultural identity concerns, and behavioral medicine — working in both short-term, goal-focused therapy and longer-term work for deeper self-discovery and growth.
Therapy with me is collaborative, compassionate yet direct, and focused on helping you create a life that fits you — not just the expectations around you.
