Experienced Holistic Psychotherapist in Carmel, CA

About Sapna Nair

Compassionate Therapy, Shadow Work, and Transformational Healing.

I am a Dual Licensed Psychotherapist, Addictions Specialist, Coach, and the Creator of The Kali Shadow Path — a transformational healing journey focused on shadow work, emotional healing, self-awareness, and personal empowerment.

I am a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC) and Substance Use Disorder Certified Counselor (SUDCC) in private practice, dedicated to helping individuals heal through compassionate, integrative, and trauma-informed care.

I earned my Bachelor of Science in Counseling with an emphasis in addictions, chemical dependency, and substance abuse from Grand Canyon University, and my Master of Arts in Counseling/Mental Health from Palo Alto University, graduating with honors from both universities.

Since 2012, I have worked extensively within the mental health and substance abuse treatment field across nonprofit organizations, behavioral health settings, school-based counseling programs, and community support services. My experience includes working with individuals struggling with homelessness, addiction, trauma, anxiety, depression, self-harm behaviors, and co-occurring mental health disorders.

Throughout my career, I have worked in hospital behavioral health units, substance abuse treatment programs, and public-school districts providing counseling and support to adolescents and adults navigating emotional and psychological challenges. I also developed a holistic support program designed to help individuals transition from homelessness into stable independent living.

I have extensive experience working with dual diagnosis populations and additional training in crisis intervention, ADHD, codependency, bipolar disorder, anxiety, depression, trauma, and addiction recovery.

My therapeutic approach is rooted in meeting each individual with compassion, authenticity, and without judgment. By integrating both Eastern and Western healing modalities, I support clients in developing deeper self-awareness, emotional healing, inner balance, and lasting transformation.

Through both my clinical work and The Kali Shadow Path, my mission is to help individuals reconnect with themselves, heal unconscious patterns, reclaim their personal power, and create a life grounded in acceptance, purpose, and emotional freedom.

Healing begins when we stop abandoning the parts of ourselves that need compassion the most.
