About Apoorva

A creative spirit committed to healing through connection, narrative, and exploration, Apoorva believes therapy, while sacred and serious, can also hold laughter, lightness, and the unexpected joy of discovering ourselves.

Apoorva Changedia is a therapist at Skylight Counseling Center, with training from Northwestern University and licensure in Illinois. She brings a multidisciplinary background in journalism, advocacy, and the arts to her clinical work.

Guided by a deep belief that healing begins with being heard, Apoorva approaches therapy as a collaborative process rooted in empathy, cultural humility, and creative exploration. Her lens is informed by logotherapy and narrative therapy, and she often integrates experiential interventions to help clients access meaning and reimagine their internal narratives. Whether through words, metaphors, or silence, she holds space for clients to make sense of the complexities they carry and honor their capacity for growth.

She believes that healing rarely looks linear, and that safety, creativity, and collaboration are essential to meaningful therapeutic work. While also drawn to psychodynamic and existential approaches, Apoorva integrates cognitive and somatic tools tailored to each client’s unique needs.

Apoorva is passionate about working with individuals navigating identity concerns, anxiety, life transitions, trauma, relationship dynamics, intergenerational patterns, and systemic marginalization. Having grown up multilingual in India and lived across cultural contexts, she is especially attuned to the intersections of culture, language, and mental health. Her work reflects a commitment to serving both urban and rural communities, and to expanding access to care through advocacy, education, and community engagement.

Before practicing in this profession, Apoorva worked as a radio host producing stories that bridged culture, identity, and well-being. Her commitment to holding space for others stems from a longstanding desire to understand people deeply, and to walk with them through life’s many transformative moments. With a background in storytelling, she believes each person holds within them the wisdom for change and that therapy is a process of uncovering what has always been meaningful.

When not in session, Apoorva is usually in motion, exploring movement practices, crafting with her hands, or chasing stories that connect people across disciplines and borders.
