Licensed Clinical Psychologists

“Licensed Clinical Psychologist committed to serve children and adults by creating a compassionate space to address their behavioral, mental and emotional problems. Well-versed in various psychological techniques, including psychological assessments, behavioral, cognitive behavioral, mindfulness-based and schema therapy”

About Me

This Licensed Clinical Psychologist creates a compassionate space where children and adults can safely explore behavioural, mental, and emotional challenges. Drawing on techniques like mindfulness-based therapy, they actively support clients in understanding and addressing their difficulties. Those seeking a thoughtful guide and practical tools for daily well-being will find a strong match. The aim is to help individuals build resilience and find clearer paths forward.

Approach

Creating that compassionate space, I structure sessions to feel steady and collaborative so clients of different ages can explore concerns at a manageable pace. I work in English and Kannada, offering appointments in Bangalore and online with flexible scheduling to suit family and work rhythms. Sessions combine careful assessment, brief experiments, cognitive reframing and mindfulness practice, with simple reflections and small between-session actions to track changes. Those seeking practical steps and clearer coping often find this paced, hands-on approach helpful.
