Rachana P.

I am a Psychologist, academic scholar, and mental health advocate based in Bengaluru. I hold an MSc in Clinical Psychology from Christ University and a specialized Diploma in Community Mental Health for Psychologists from the prestigious National Institute of Mental Health and Neurosciences (NIMHANS). Driven by a profound commitment to evidence-based interventions, I have solidified my clinical expertise across both premier public and private medical institutions. My academic foundation is underscored by clearing the national-level GATE examination and qualifying for a PhD through the UGC-NET.
In my clinical practice, I have adopted a versatile, eclectic approach, skillfully tailoring traditional cognitive-behavioral therapies and advanced third-wave modalities to suit the distinct needs of each individual. I am a certified Tobacco Cessation Therapist through NIMHANS' Centre for Addiction Medicine and hold a formal certification in Motivational Interviewing. Furthermore, my extensive background as a Life Skills Training Facilitator allows me to create and implement experiential workshops that empower youth and community leaders.
