Ms Jennifer Sarah J

Counselling Psychologist, Mindfulness Practitioner
3 years of experience
My approach is deeply rooted in creating a safe, non-judgmental space where clients feel heard, understood, and valued. Hi, I am Jennifer! I am a dedicated counseling psychologist, passionate about helping individuals reach their fullest potential and achieve greater well-being. With extensive experience in counseling and a focus on person-centered therapy, cognitive restructuring, and mindfulness practices, I have had the privilege of working with over 2000 clients across various settings. In my therapy sessions, I bring empathy, compassion, and unconditional positive regard to every session, fostering an environment where clients can explore their thoughts, feelings, and experiences with authenticity and dedication. I hold a Master’s degree in Counselling Psychology and a Diploma as a Mindfulness Practitioner. Working across diverse backgrounds, such as mental health institutions, renowned companies, special schools, juvenile homes, psychiatric clinics, etc., has enriched my knowledge and work ethic. Moreover, I specialize in addressing concerns such as self-improvement, relationship issues, career-related issues, academic-related concerns, self-esteem, sleep, stress management, anxiety, depression, and more. I utilize an eclectic and humanistic approach to therapy, catering to the specific needs of my clients, guiding them toward cultivating self-awareness and self-understanding, enhancing emotional resilience, and managing stress. I strive to ensure my clients feel heard, validated, safe, inclusive, and accepted in my therapy sessions and that we work collaboratively to address their concerns.

Ms Sakina Saraiya

Counselling Psychologist
3 years of experience
In my therapy sessions, I aim to make a meaningful difference in helping individuals achieve a sense of well-being and empowerment, while addressing various concerns. Hi, I'm Sakina, and my life philosophy is perfectly encapsulated by Carl Rogers: "The good life is a process, not a state of being. It is a direction, not a destination." Thus, I view therapy as a powerful tool for healing, growth, self-awareness, and self-compassion. In sessions with clients, I focus on mindfulness, compassion, connecting with your body, and deep healing. I have over 3100 hours of experience working with individuals on diverse concerns, including anxiety, trauma, grief, depression, relationships (premarital and marital), emotional regulation, self-development, and clinical issues such as eating disorders, substance abuse, and personality disorders. As a trauma-informed, queer affirmative therapist with an eclectic approach, I view therapy as a safe and collaborative space where you can express, explore, and learn more about yourself and the world around you. I believe a huge part of how successful therapy is depends on the therapeutic relationship between a client and therapist. To foster the same, I create a deep connection and trust throughout the sessions, focusing on narratives and the experience of the client within the therapy space and outside. Every interaction is unique, and I strive to adapt my approach to fit the uniqueness of every individual client.  In addition to my work with adults, I have training in working with children with special needs. I'm passionate about research, teaching, and volunteering, and I have completed several research papers on topics such as childhood trauma, self-compassion, and generational differences in mental health. In my therapy sessions, I aim to make a meaningful difference, no matter how small.

Seeking Therapy in India

As India grapples with the complexities of modern life, the need for holistic mental health support and emotional well-being has become paramount. Indian therapists seamlessly bring together mindfulness, intricately woven into their culture, and blend it with therapeutic interventions, making the experience of receiving therapy in India holistic and unique.

In the past few years, India has experienced a remarkable shift in its approach towards mental health, fostering a welcoming environment for those seeking professional support. Mental health professionals in India, hailing from prestigious institutions like NIMHANS and IHBAS, are actively championing therapy and destigmatizing the conversations around mental health. This has enabled individuals to address their challenges and actively pursue transformative growth - one therapy session at a time.

How to Choose the Right Therapist in India?

Determining the best therapist for yourself requires time and patience, as it depends on your personal needs and preferences. Listed below are a few steps that could help you make an informed decision and choose the best therapist in India:

  • Establish your needs

    Understand your goals and the outcome you wish to achieve through therapy. Read about the different areas of mental health and identify the concerns or symptoms you would want to address in therapy. This will help you find therapists who specialize in your areas of concern.

  • Check qualifications and experience

    Consider looking up the relevant educational qualifications (e.g., a Master's or M.Phil. degree in Psychology) and professional experience of different therapists. Check if they are registered with a professional body, such as the Indian Association of Clinical Psychologists (IACP) or the Rehabilitation Council of India (RCI).

  • Review therapeutic approach

    Read about the different therapeutic interventions and choose a therapist who practices an approach that resonates with you.

  • Filter by your preferred language

    At DocVita, we have a wide network of professionals who speak 17 different languages. You can easily consult a therapist who speaks your native language, allowing you to express yourself freely and find success in therapy.

  • Consider Location, Availability, and Cost

    Factors like location, availability, and affordability must be taken into consideration. Additionally, you can also seek therapists who offer online sessions.

  • Prioritize your comfort

    Choose a therapist you feel comfortable with and who you believe can ease your therapeutic journey. It's important to feel a sense of trust and rapport with your therapist.

  • Look for therapists offering introductory calls

    DocVita offers 15-minute introductory calls to help set the foundation for future sessions. These can also help you decide whether or not a therapist is an ideal match for you.

It's important to remember that it may take a while to find a therapist who is a good match for your needs, and it's perfectly fine to switch to a different therapist if you feel that your current one isn't meeting your expectations. The primary objective is to locate a therapist who can offer you the support you require to attain your mental health objectives.
