I am Tanya, a counseling psychologist working in the field of psychology to help you and others going through some mental health issues may it be emotional or behavioral. It makes me happy that you took the first step towards making your life better already and taking the first step is one of the hardest things one has to do. This whole process of taking the first step of getting help can be overwhelming considering that you have to share your feelings with someone new but it’s my responsibility to make you feel comfortable and adapt the whole process according to your individual needs because that’s of utmost importance. I tend to not only focus and work on the problems that the client is going through now but also work on the history of the client to learn more about the client overall and to find the root cause of the present problems along with providing the helping tools that help the client move towards the set goals. I am more focused on helping you achieve balance in all the areas of life and your well-being to become a fully functioning person. I believe Happiness is the key to good life and I want to help my clients feel it.

As a Counseling Psychologist, I am proficient in effective problem solving, mindfulness techniques, relaxation techniques and solution focussed therapeutic interventions. I did my Masters’s degree in Psychology from Punjab University, and have been working as a psychologist ever since. I initially started with my internships during my Master’s, and successfully completed my internships with Fortis Hospital (Mohali), Neuropsychiatry Rehabilitation and Drug De-addiction Centre(Chandigarh), and the family counseling cell of Indian Council of Social Welfare Northern Chapter(Chandigarh). I started working as a career counselor initially with a corporate company Infobys Technologies LLP; Inquad ( Mohali), later on, started working as a school psychologist in St. Mary’s School (Patiala) and now I have been working as an online counseling psychologist for quite some time.  I wanted to be a psychologist ever since I met my school psychologist when I was around 12 years old and have been passionately learning to be the best one since. I want to be supportive, empathetic, and adaptive towards my client’s needs because everyone is unique and I want to provide that support that my client needs individually. I have worked with adolescents, young adults, and adults and realize that each age group has different needs and my aim is to provide each age group with all the different kinds of emotional support and help they require focussing on the recovery-focused approach to improve their overall functioning. I have extensive work experience with people including but not limited to working with those experiencing stress and anxiety, anger management, Relationship Issue, Marital Discord and Self – esteem as well as family conflicts, parenting issues, abandonment, life purpose, Career Difficulties, coping with life changes, codependency and increased stress due to various life circumstances.

I am looking forward to getting to know you and to helping you get through whatever you are going through right now and to make you feel that I am here to listen and help!
