Clinical Psychologist | Therapy & Life Coaching for Mental Health, Relationships, & Personal Growth

Profile Summary

I am a clinical psychologist with over 13 years of experience in psychotherapy, life coaching, and corporate wellness. My expertise lies in helping individuals overcome mental health challenges, relationship difficulties, workplace stress, and personal development roadblocks. Through my private practice, Psyche in Motion, I provide individual therapy, couples counseling, and executive coaching to clients worldwide via virtual sessions. I have worked with government hospitals, private organizations, and global mental health platforms, including my role as a Care Coach with BetterUp, where I assist professionals in burnout prevention, emotional resilience, leadership development, and career growth. Beyond therapy, I have spent six years training and supervising clinical psychology students, mentoring them in psychological assessment, intervention techniques, and research methodologies. I am also actively engaged in research, with publications on topics such as chronic stress, the mind-body connection, workplace mental health interventions, and emotional resilience. I hold a Doctorate in Clinical Psychology and am certified by the Rehabilitation Council of India (RCI). I am a lifetime member of the Indian Association of Clinical Psychologists (IACP) and a member of the American Psychological Association (APA). My work has been recognized internationally, including receiving the Youth Fellowship Award from the World Congress of Psychiatry. My approach integrates Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), mindfulness techniques, and solution-focused coaching, ensuring a personalized, goal-oriented, and evidence-based path toward healing and growth. Through my work, I strive to empower individuals to lead fulfilling lives by fostering emotional well-being, self-awareness, and personal transformation.
