I have done my Masters in Clinical Psychology from Pune and I have been practicing since 2017. I am a certified arts based therapist and co created and co authored Queer affirmative therapy (QACP) and Trans Affirmative Mental Health Care Guidelines Manual. In our work together, my aim is to bridge the gaps within ourselves, fostering self-discovery and creating space for creating space for containment, and embracing holding and bearing what is unspoken, denied and unheard. My core expertise lies in working with queer and trans lives and identities and not limited to, while also supporting individuals from any background navigating questions of self, relationships, and belonging.
At its core, my practice is about making room for the whole self—embracing complexity, navigating life’s structures, and reclaiming desire, pleasure, and joy as part of healing.

I am Pouravi Khare (she/her), located in Mumbai. I have done my Master's in Psychology (Clinical specialization) from VES College, Chembur.
I came to Psychology from the need to heal my own feelings of emptiness and despair. So when I started formally studying it, it felt like a familiar world. I approach therapy as a collaboration between people who have a lot to teach each other.
Lived experience holds a high value for me and I firmly believe that each of us already has a map of their own healing, just waiting to be unfolded. I am passionate about social justice. Nobody is a "blank slate" and therapists are no exception. Keeping a systemic lens is very important to me.
I consider myself an introvert who loves to geek out about books (especially sci-fi!) and TV shows. I love working out, learning Japanese, and reconnecting with my inner artist!

I am Mansha Pati, I have completed my master’s in LifeSpan (counselling) Psychology from St. Xavier’s (autonomous) college, Mumbai.
As a child, curiosity always got the better of me. I was always asking questions about why things were the way they were, which grew into why people were the way they were; as time has passed my curiosity has become more refined but I still hold that curiosity as a therapist who wants to know more about her clients.
I have previously had the experience of working with people dealing with work stress, Identity issues, relationship conflict, work life balance, self image and body dysmorphia. I’m passionate about working at the intersection of care and context, supporting individuals while staying attuned to the larger systems they’re navigating.
Beyond therapy, I like reading cult classics, talking about pop culture, writing about anything and everything that I'm trying to make sense of. I love learning more about art, culture and history.
