Being entirely honest with oneself is a good exercise

For me, Introspection is like a steering wheel guiding my decisions. It feels like peeling the layers of an onion and so it takes a lot of patience. But it reminds me that even if you make a mistake, you can come to yourself, accept it and learn from it.

For me, adding appropriate therapy tools to a session plan is similar to adding correct ingredients in a recipe. So I carefully blend different therapeutic aspects as per the client’s age, abilities, personality, interests and nature of problem. Hence I use an eclectic approach to healing.

In group sessions, I focus on using participants’ group identity as a tool to make changes in themselves.

WHO AM I ?

I am someone who constantly tries to update herself. I am always into learning and exploring things. It is what keeps me ‘lively’.

I have continuously worked on my social skills throughout these years (still in progress). So while looking back I can see different shades of myself from being a loner to the most talkative girl in the group.. And I love how all these shades coexist in me today..

For me, a river mirrors both sides simultaneously. It flows, rushing toward its goal and expanding its reach. At the same time it also serves as a home for many and helps people in settling down. This dual nature fascinates me.

And yes… at its bank, I feel at home.

I am a psychologist. Back then as a 16 year old village girl, I chose this field due to its potential in solving my unanswered questions regarding people’s behavior.

Besides that, teaching comes naturally to me. I love watching my students learn and grow. In this age of information, I firmly believe that teachers are essential in choosing the right path and making wise choices. Many such teachers have helped me to reach here and hence I want to continue the legacy.

Additionally, I am an Actor. I love theater! It helps me not only to empathize with the character but to live its life, pain and joy. Theater makes me a better psychologist!

I believe that life is about process rather than destiny. Destiny is cherished and amazing but it comes and goes in a movement. But what impacts us most is a process.. Let’s make it as fulfilling and memorable as possible....
