ABOUT

Helping people achieve a higher quality life with more joy never gets old

​

I have trained at various hospitals such as IHBAS and Vimhans with a focus on counseling and therapy of clients diagnosed with various disorders. I have further focused on psychodiagnostic/ neuropsyhological/ child assessments; along with case presentations involving detailed discussions with psychologists and psychiatrists for in-depth study and understanding of each client. I also lay importance on the psychoeducation of groups of caregivers to focus on their mental health as well.

 

I have been trained under senior psychologists and psychiatrists at Moolchand Hospital, Delhi and Fortis Hospital, Gurgaon. Here the focus was on varied areas such as burn victims, PTSD, understanding cancer patients psychology to conducting art therapy for young children with cerebral palsy.
