My working methodology

In my practice, I take an integrative approach to help my clients untangle their life problems rooted in Thoughts, Behaviors, and Emotions.

Over the years, my working style has evolved to look at the multitudes people carry. I approach my work through a trauma- informed lens which allows me to understand people in the context of their lives. 

Some of the therapies I use in my work

Trauma-informed
Understanding the struggles of an individual in the context (micro & macro systems) of their lived experiences - wounds encountered and support available, and how it has impacted the nervous system. Facilitating change sensitively to resist re-traumatization.
 
Attachment Theory and Relational Approach
Looking at the quality of relationships one has experienced in their life. Exploring how these experiences have left imprints that continue to influence one’s relationship with themselves and others. 
​
Depth-oriented
This involves exploring the unconscious and bringing to light parts of the self that have been hidden and integrating them over time. 
 
Somatic therapy
Working at a body and nervous system level to help understand and navigate imprints of experiences of the past that are held in the body. Here, we work with the sensations, and emotional energy of the past held in the body and empower the client to regulate and move through emotions and sensations.

"I am committed to ethically sound practices, which involve regularly participating in personal therapy and supervision, as well as continuously pursuing educational opportunities."

"The Mind Body Foundation is one of the most comfortable spaces to share, open up and heal. The journey has been amazing and I recommend it 100%. Thank you for helping me get back on my feet and discover myself. I'm eternally grateful."

Anjana

I started therapy a year back and was skeptical about how it would go. Now, I am glad I chose The Mind Body Foundation for starting my journey towards self care. Anitha creates an environment of trust and understanding which allows one to open up and discuss their issues. Highly recommend them for anyone who's looking to start their journey.

Aditya

I’ve been Anitha’s client for 2 years now and it has been a wonderful journey. She helped me discover a lot about myself and cope through the challenges I faced. Discovery led to healing and Anitha made that possible for me.
