Aditi Bhattacharya is a holistic, trauma-informed, and identity-affirming clinician with a passion for working with people who have suffered the effects of sexual violence. In practice for over 15 years, she has worked with clients across the lifespan—from age 10 to 106—and across a wide range of trauma histories, including complex PTSD, mood and control disorders, anxiety, depression, relationship trauma, sexual harm (both survived and caused), family abuse, caregiver burnout, chronic illness, terminal illness, end of life, and bereavement. She also does forensic clinical work and has served as an expert witness in domestic violence and coercive control cases in New York and New Jersey. Aditi is a Lecturer at the Columbia University School of Social Work.

As a certified Death Doula, Aditi has provided end-of-life, complicated grief, and bereavement support to families across New York and beyond since 2020. She brings deep experience working with nontraditional relationships and family structures and maintains a clinical practice grounded in affirmation, cultural responsiveness, and somatic care. A recipient of the “Emerging Leaders” award from the National Association of Social Workers, Aditi brings a rare blend of corporate and nonprofit crisis response experience to her therapeutic work. She engages clients with humanity, presence, and mindfulness, meeting complex life challenges with clarity and care.

Outside of her work at Nest, Aditi is the Director of Client Services at the NYC Anti-Violence Project, a leading agency supporting LGBTQIHA+ individuals who have experienced violence, abuse, or trauma. Prior to AVP, she was Prevention Coordinator for Columbia University Sexual Violence Response (SVR), Rape Crisis Program Manager at Mount Sinai Adolescent Health Center (MSAHC), and for nearly six years, Senior Manager of the Sexual Violence Services Program for Womankind, one of the largest anti-violence agencies serving the Asian Pacific Islander community in the country.

Psychotherapy is a second career for Aditi. She began her professional life as a public relations advisor to Fortune 500 companies and later worked with a boutique consulting firm in Canada, designing immersive leadership development experiences for mid-tier and C-level executives in the pharmaceutical and banking sectors across Canada and the EU.

In her personal life, Aditi is an urban farmer and works closely with Native tribes in central New Jersey. Her land work deeply informs her holistic, embodied clinical approach, supporting clients in navigating suffering and finding grounded paths toward recovery.
