Ms Ashkhen Hovhannisyan

Mental Health Counselor

I help individuals explore and resolve deep-seated emotional patterns, traumas and unresolved psychological conflicts.

About Me

Drawing on 8 years of experience supporting people from diverse global backgrounds, I use Psychodynamic Therapy, including ISTDP, to foster lasting change. This focused approach uncovers core issues, helping you understand how past experiences shape your present. Clients seeking profound shifts will find a collaborative and culturally sensitive space to move towards greater emotional freedom.

Approach

Based in Ahmedabad, India, I offer a culturally attuned and multilingual approach, fluent in English/Hindi/Armenian/Russian. Whether you're navigating anxiety, panic attacks, mood disorders, or seeking personal development, Psychodynamic Therapy, particularly ISTDP, aims to illuminate core issues, fostering emotional freedom and regulating anxiety caused by suppressed emotions.
