Mental Health With Kanishka

Mental health with Kanishka

Welcome

Hello! My name is Kanishka, and I’m a licensed clinical and forensic psychologist based in India. As I pursue my Ph.D. in Psychology, I have dedicated my career to understanding the intricacies of adolescent and adult mental health. My diverse experience includes working in psychiatric hospitals and prison settings, as well as with the Central Armed Police Forces of India, which has deepened my passion for helping others. I offer compassionate psychotherapy sessions for adolescents (ages 15-19) and adults (ages 20-50).

I understand that everyone faces unique challenges, and my training has equipped me to support individuals dealing with emotional dysregulation, trauma, anxiety spectrum disorders, OCD, depression, addiction, and adjustment and stress-related issues.

I genuinely look forward to connecting with you.

Educational Background and Professional Experience

I am thrilled to share my journey in the field of psychology! I earned my Master of Arts in Psychology from Banaras Hindu University and, shortly after, began a Master of Philosophy (MPhil) in Forensic Psychology at the National Forensic Science University. This unique experience allowed me to explore the thrilling intersection of psychology and law, working directly with prisoners in both the Ahmedabad and Varanasi Central jails, a truly eye-opening opportunity. Continuing my passion, I pursued another MPhil in Clinical Psychology at Pandit Ravishankar Shukla University. This transformative time enabled me to sharpen my skills in assessing, diagnosing, and treating mental health issues through psychotherapy. I was also honored to receive the Best Research Paper Award at the National Conference of the Indian Association of Clinical Psychologists (IACP) in 2020, which opened the door for me to practice as a licensed Clinical Psychologist in India. Driven by a commitment to lifelong learning, I am currently pursuing a Ph.D. in Psychology from Mahatma Gandhi Kashi Vidyapeeth. Throughout this journey, I have accumulated over 3,500 hours of teletherapy, enriching my experience and receiving wonderful feedback from my clients. With four years of hands-on experience tackling a variety of mental health challenges, I am excited to bring my skills and heartfelt compassion to our therapeutic journey together. Additionally, I am a proud Professional Life Member of the Indian Association of Clinical Psychologists (IACP) and have completed extensive training in Emotion-Focused Therapy at the Emotion-Focused Therapy Institute in collaboration with the International Society of Emotion-Focused Therapy (ISEFT).

I genuinely look forward to the opportunity to work with you and support you on your path to wellness!
