Hello! This is Manish. I am an individual psychotherapist and a group therapist. I believe in the power of vulnerability- it has the potential to act as a catalyst for growth. Therapy is a collaborative journey where we will focus on understanding you and your needs. I look at the process of therapy like driving a car- it takes time for us to familiarize ourselves with it, and the journey is never linear. I trust that we can navigate this journey- together and successfully.

I adopt an Existential-Psychodynamic approach in my work. I work to understand an individual’s core emotions and how they guide our everyday life. My intention is to understand a person holistically- focus on various aspects of their life that make them whole. The space of therapy is one of being held, and contained. It also enables us to what we are holding ourselves; how that shows up in our life and relationships.

Apart from being a therapist, I teach part-time. I also enjoying gaming, reading, watching films and plays. I particularly enjoy the outdoors- the mountains and skies, all the more if I am in the driver’s seat.

I offer my presence, curiosity, vulnerability, and willingness to learn/change with clients I work with.

I intend to provide a space that empowers individuals, to explore themselves, and move them to be an agent of warmth for themselves.
