Testimonials

"The therapy sessions have been extremely helpful. They give the space to process one’s emotions and work on them. Aishwarya is a very understanding and patient therapist. She’s always there to help to overcome the problems. The approach is kind and thoughtful. She takes time to reflect and come back with better solutions with each passing session. A amazing therapist, I wouldn’t want to work with anyone else."

"I feel lighter, more expressive and a sense of clarity about myself and my life. Her empathetic and light approach to sessions, her ability to be a great listener and her warm and conscious approach has been really helping. Art making have been great additions to the sessions and really help express really innate emotions which cant be always expressed verbally. The (somatic) practices help process the heavy stuff and are really a relaxing and soothing experience."

"The therapy sessions have helped me reduced my anxiety, made me more self confident. It is very easy to talk to her, I like how she is honest and non judgemental. She is a very good listener & if she believes/understands something about a client, she expresses it authentically. Art has helped me express my feelings and thoughts better, because I find it difficult to open up by talking it out. The mindfulness practices have helped me stay calm and see things in a new light. I'm really glad I met her, the sessions have been life altering."
