Miss Pratyusha DV

Counseling Psychologist

I have been working since 2018 with people across different ages & concerns. I have a systems-based lens, identifying social factors that impact a person’s self-image & wellbeing. I hope to make clients feel heard, trusted & to provide a therapy space & relationship safe enough for them to bring in all their stories.

About Me

Since 2018, I have worked with people across various ages and concerns. My trauma-informed, intersectional feminist approach helps you unravel how social factors shape your sense of self. I create a deeply safe space where all your stories are welcomed and heard. This allows us to explore the broader influences on your life together. Clients seeking to understand their experiences within a wider context will find this particularly supportive.

Approach

With a systems view as our compass, therapy tracks how social forces shape self-image and daily choices, so we notice patterns beyond symptoms. In sessions in Mumbai or online, in English, Hindi/Urdu or Telugu, I hold a steady, trauma-aware frame while we move between gentle reflection, short experiential practices and concrete skill-building; you guide the pace and we translate insights into real-life steps. Between meetings I often suggest simple practices to test shifts. People seeking clarity on identity, relationships or chronic stress tend to find this practical, contextual approach useful.
