Ms Athira

Counselling Psychologist
2 years of experience
Therapy with me focuses on helping people grow, heal, and build resilience in a supportive, nonjudgmental space.  Hello! I'm Athira, an individual and couples therapist. My approach is integrative and centered on the unique needs of my clients. I use evidence-based techniques such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Mindfulness, Trauma-Informed Care, and the Developmental Model of Couples Therapy.  In my journey as a therapist, I've discovered that embracing our humanity is the key to building genuine connections with clients. By being open about my challenges and limitations, I show clients that it's okay to be authentic and imperfect. This shared human experience forms the foundation of our relationship, allowing us to connect on a deeper level to cultivate meaningful change. In my experience of working with couples, my focus is on strengthening their relationships, improving communication, and navigating conflicts. I aim to help partners understand each other's perspectives, rebuild trust, and create meaningful connections that lead to lasting happiness. For individual clients, I provide support on their personal growth journeys. Whether they're dealing with anxiety, trauma, or life transitions, I help them explore their emotions, develop coping strategies, and build the resilience they need to thrive. With my clients, I focus on creating a personalized plan that supports their goals and fosters a collaborative and supportive therapeutic experience.

Tanisha Goveas

Counselling Psychologist
6 years of experience
In therapy sessions with me, I strive to provide a safe place to express your thoughts, feelings, struggles, and problems. Hi! I’m Tanisha, a mental health practitioner with over half a decade of experience. I am passionate about raising awareness about mental health and the importance of community in our lives. My belief is that therapy is not only a place to share your issues but also a space to identify and build on your strengths, learn problem-solving strategies, develop coping skills, and enhance your emotional capabilities and self-worth. I take an eclectic approach to therapy, using tools from various schools to find what works best for each client's unique life story. These include expressive arts, mindfulness, cognitive therapy, narrative therapy, and person-centered therapy. Each method is tailored to suit your individual needs. Additionally, I am queer-and-trans affirmative, trauma-informed, sex-and-kink-positive, neurodivergent-friendly, and I take an intersectional approach to therapy. In our sessions, your role as a client will be to identify the goals you want to achieve during therapy. Be willing to introspect and communicate any potential obstacles and strengths that may hinder or help you move toward these goals. We will collaboratively work towards achieving the established goals. Moreover, an important part of therapy involves practicing new skills and monitoring certain behaviors and thoughts. Therefore, occasionally, you may be asked to do some “homework” between sessions. While this is not mandatory, it can help you understand how to use the skills you learn and assess their efficacy. My aim is to provide a comfortable and supportive environment conducive to insight, healing, and personal growth. Together, we will work on building a healthier, more fulfilling life.

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.
