Dr Navni Mehta

Counselling Psychologist
2 years of experience
Healing begins with understanding - yourself, your relationships, your journey. Hello! I’m Dr. Navni Mehta, a therapist specializing in individual therapy, couples therapy and family therapy. I provide individual therapy for those dealing with anxiety, depression, insomnia, stress, loneliness, mood swings, low self-esteem, body image issues, work-life balance, career challenges, grief, trauma, OCD & ADHD. For couples, I offer support in resolving communication gaps, trust issues, intimacy concerns, infidelity, emotional disconnection, premarital counseling, working through a rough patch, navigating breakups and relationship transitions. In family therapy, I help in addressing conflicts, parent-child issues, sibling relationship issues, behavioral concerns in children & teens by strengthening emotional bonds and promoting healthy family dynamics. Relationships are at the core of our well-being, whether with a partner, family member or even ourselves. If you find yourself feeling unheard, misunderstood or stuck in unhealthy patterns, know that change is possible. For over 7 years, I’ve worked with people from all walks of life, including doctors, medical professionals, founders, entrepreneurs, scientists, fashion models, students, couples & families, helping them cultivate stronger, healthier relationships whether in marriage, dating, co-parenting, or personal growth. In my practice, I employ a diverse blend of therapeutic modalities, including CBT (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy), NLP (Neuro-Linguistic Programming), IPT (Interpersonal Psychotherapy), DBT (Dialectical Behavior Therapy), PCT (Parent-Child Interaction Therapy), Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), Dream Analysis, Couple Therapy, and Family Therapy. The very essences of my therapy are self-realization, applied positive psychology, potential maximization, problem-solving, behaviour counseling, relationship counseling, body image issues, low self-worth, attention deficit issues and mindfulness techniques to offer my clients a full-circle approach. All sessions remain confidential. In our sessions, you’ll find a space where all emotions are valid. Whether you need to laugh, cry, reflect, or rediscover yourself. We’ll work together to identify goals, attachment styles, relationship dynamics, explore underlying patterns, and develop practical strategies that foster long-term change. I provide a compassionate, structured space to explore, heal, and rebuild. Finding the right therapist can be challenging, but my mission is to lead with compassion and empathy, creating a space where my clients can be their authentic selves.

Ms Shubhrika Seth

Clinical Psychologist
5 years of experience
I believe therapy begins with feeling deeply heard — not for who you’re expected to be, but for who you are. Hello! I’m Shubhrika Seth, a registered psychologist in India and the U.S., with professional membership in the U.K. Over the past seven years, I’ve worked across hospitals, government programs, community initiatives, and correctional settings—supporting individuals and families through a wide spectrum of emotional and behavioral challenges. I work with children, adolescents, and adults navigating stress, anxiety, trauma, low mood, parenting struggles, marital concerns, and life transitions. As a therapist, I don’t view our work as “problem-solving” alone—it’s about creating a safe space to reflect, grow, and reconnect with yourself. My sessions are warm, collaborative, and shaped by your needs. Together, we explore your story, identify patterns, and develop healthier ways of relating to yourself and others. Many of my clients describe therapy as a journey of self-discovery—one that leads to greater balance, emotional clarity, and a sense of empowerment. Some areas I support include: • Stress, anxiety, low mood, and burnout • Relationship & marital concerns (including pre/post-marital counseling) • Parenting, adolescent adjustment, and family dynamics • Trauma, grief, and emotional well-being • Confidence, motivation, and personal growth • Psychoeducational assessments (IQ, SLD, ADHD) • Navigating transitions and exploring identity Whether you’re starting therapy for the first time or returning after a difficult chapter, I offer a space that is steady, affirming, and tailored to your pace. Let’s walk this path together—toward more ease, understanding, and self-trust.

About VIMHANS

In August 1981, due to a joint effort by the immediate family and well-wishers of Dr. Vidya Sagar, the father of Indian psychiatry, a society bearing the names of Dr. Vidya Sagar and Smt. Kaushalya Devi was established. It started when Dr. Vidya Sagar had left 40,000 rupees in his will just for this cause. And with only 20 beds, VIMHANS began offering its psychiatric and drug addiction services. It was not until 1987 when Shri Giani Zail Singh, the Indian President at that time, placed the hospital's cornerstone.

Since then, the road has been long and complicated, but it has also been rewarded with numerous successes. It has expanded from its primary focus on mental health into a multispecialty institute with five central departments. With more than a hundred beds and a functioning daycare rehabilitation center, VIMHANS is still a family-run institution. To provide accessible yet high-quality medical consultations, the organization also sponsors community outreach centers in Haryana and Delhi.

VIMHANS is the only non-government organization that operates an in-patient facility for people with mental illness. Additionally, VIMHANS holds free medical camps in a variety of specialties in various slums and communities in the National Capital Region.
