I have been providing therapy to individuals and couples.

I have worked with couples on marital problems and relationship issues. I have treated cases pertaining to Depression, anxiety/panic attacks, Obsessive Compulsive Disorder, Social Phobia, stress, low self esteem and behavioral problems.

As a therapist I feel the body,mind and spirit work together and connects one to a more larger and meaningful reality- "beyond the personal", which guides one to a more universal awareness of oneself.

I follow and incorporate the client centered aproach and also use the CBT approach in my practice as a therapist.

My Business

Psychotherapy is a science which alleviates pain,suffering,stress,anxiety etc without medications. It is also referred as "Talk Therapy" since it helps individuals attain relief and peace through talk and exercises. Psychotherapy addresses issues with mental retardation, Phobias, Behavioral problems, emotional and social maladjustment, personality disorders and mental disorders. Psychotherapy is rational and accessible. It is a logical process which anyone can understand.

The Need for Psychotherapy in India.

According to the National Mental Health programme document, 20-30 million Indians are in need of some form of mental health care.Every year 2,50,000 new cases are reported.But these figures do not include those who are silently suffering without access to help. With proper care,atleast 60% of mentally ill people can recover completely and atleast 70% can avoid chronic illness and disability. A large number of people can be helped merely by listening,providing care and equipping them with life skills to cope with stressful situations in life.
