Mrs Aravinda Nandakumar, NIMHANS, SUBSTANCE ABUSE DISORDER

I hold an M.Sc. in Counselling and Family Therapy (First Class with Distinction, IGNOU), and have continued to deepen my expertise through advanced certifications from institutions such as NIMHANS, the American Psychological Association (APA), and the University of Pennsylvania. My expertise spans Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, mindfulness, relationship and pre-marital counselling, substance abuse work, abnormal psychology, positive psychology, and trauma recovery. I continually review new research and emerging therapeutic developments, integrating effective practices so the support you receive is nuanced and clinically refined. My clinical experience includes my time at Spandana Rehabilitation Centre, where I conducted psychological assessments and supported patients navigating depression, substance dependence, and complex family dynamics.
