Hi, my name is Devna and I am a Counseling Psychologist based out New Delhi, India . I am currently offering teletherapy sessions to my clients. I have completed a dual Masters degree in Counseling Psychology from Columbia University, New York City. I have over 4 years of work experience in the United States. I recently moved back to New Delhi as I wanted to be able to help further the work being done for Mental Health in India.
My approach to therapy aims to primarily focus on creating a safe, non-judgmental space where the client feels heard and understood . I believe that therapy is a collaborative process and I guide my client to be the best version of themselves by helping them increase their level of self-awareness, gain new perspectives and increase potential strengths to live a more meaningful life.
Growing up in India and living in the USA for 8 years has exposed me to several identities and personality types, which has enabled me to work with clients from a multicultural background.
I treasure each human being and truly believe that each person has the potential to succeed in life, and it is my goal to help them through it. Having the experience of working with a diverse population, I work from an eclectic approach keeping in mind that each client has their own unique needs and requirements. I work from a person-centered , cognitive behavioral theoretical orientation that best fits the clients needs and concerns. I also incorporate aspects of mindfulness in my work with my clients. I strongly feel that self-care is an important element in managing daily life stressors.
I am a compassionate, warm and culturally sensitive therapist and believe that each one of us has a unique role to play and that we all should take things at our own pace.
