Kiran

Dr Kiran Makhijani

Clinical Psychologist

An experienced psychotherapist & psychologist based out of Mumbai using an eclectic multicultural approach.

About Me

I am a clinical psychologist in Worli, Maharashtra. I work with adolescents and adults on addiction, anxiety, mood disorders, and cancer-related distress. I offer counseling, art therapy, wellness support, and online sessions in a direct, confidential setting.

Approach

Guided by a multicultural lens and clinical grounding, I hold a clear, flexible structure that lets your priorities steer each session while we try creative ways to make change tangible. In my Worli office or via secure online meetings in English or Hindi/Urdu, sessions are paced to what feels manageable — short experiments, reflective prompts, skill practice and gentle accountability between meetings. Progress is collaborative and measurable, blending practical coping with expressive work. This approach often suits young people and adults navigating addiction, anxiety, mood shifts or distress linked to illness.
