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 clinical intern at Skylight Counseling Center, currently pursuingher MA in Counseling at Northwestern University’s CACREP-accredited program. She isworking toward LCPC licensure in Illinois and brings a multidisciplinary background injournalism, advocacy, and the arts to her clinical work.
Guided by a deep belief that healing begins with being heard, Apoorva approachestherapy as a collaborative process rooted in empathy, cultural humility, and creativeexploration. Her lens is informed by logotherapy and narrative therapy, and she oftenintegrates experiential interventions to help clients access meaning and reimagine theirinternal narratives. Whether through words, metaphors, or silence, she holds space forclients 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 collaborationare essential to meaningful therapeutic work. While also drawn to psychodynamic andexistential approaches, Apoorva integrates cognitive and somatic tools tailored to eachclient’s unique needs.

Apoorva is passionate about working with individuals navigating identity concerns,anxiety, life transitions, trauma, relationship dynamics, intergenerational patterns, andsystemic marginalization. Having grown up multilingual in India and lived across culturalcontexts, she is especially attuned to the intersections of culture, language, and mentalhealth. Her work reflects a commitment to serving both urban and rural communities,and to expanding access to care through advocacy, education, and communityengagement.
Before formally training as a counselor, Apoorva worked as a radio host producingstories that bridged culture, identity, and well-being. Her commitment to holding spacefor others stems from a longstanding desire to understand people deeply, and to walkwith 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 andborders.
