Meet Dr. Esha Hansoti

Hello, I’m Dr. Esha Hansoti, a psychiatrist and psychotherapist.

I built Terra Psychiatry to practice psychiatry the way I believe it should be - with time, depth, and honesty. I am trauma-specialized and psychodynamically-informed with training in multiple therapy modalities. I don’t separate therapy from medication management. Every session is a space to understand your story, explore the patterns and relationships that shape your life, and work toward something different. Whether you’re processing trauma, navigating anxiety or depression, working through a life transition, or trying to understand why you feel stuck, I’m here to do that work alongside you.

I have years of experience working with trauma survivors. During my psychiatric training at Zucker Hillside Hospital, I co-founded the CTSRR Trauma Clinic, a specialized clinic treating people with PTSD, complex trauma, and complicated grief. I watched people who had carried trauma for years begin to get better within months.

During medical school and undergraduate, I spent years working with communities that are often overlooked and traumatized including sexual assault survivors, asylum seekers, transgender individuals, and adolescents in tribal Indian communities. That has grounded me in a conviction I carry into every session, that healing doesn’t happen in a vacuum. It happens within the context of relationships and by feeling truly seen and heard.

I am also guided by my own background. I was raised by Indian immigrants from Gujarat, India. I grew up watching my grandmother devote herself to her community in India. Her influence has shaped everything I have done since, particularly my belief that caring for people means understanding the fullness of their lives.

I value honesty, openness, and collaboration. My goal is for you to feel understood at your core and to reconnect with your most authentic self during our work together.
