Aryan Somaiya
Co Founder - Therapist, Facilitator, Psychodynamic Approach
Aryan Somaiya (he/him), Transman, holds a Master's degree in Psychology with specialization in Clinical Psychology. He is the winner of the FMES-IJME Ethics Awards for the year 2022-23 in the Category 1 (Advocate/ champions with lived experience of mental health issues)
I believe that symptoms are a representation of the suffering and not anything to cure. As much as oppressive systems exists so is the personal and private experience of these systems. These experiences play in our relationships hence I believe the potential itself lies in relationship as therapist and client to bring corrective experiences, build tolerance make unbearable, bearable and build self by building bridge with self as a whole. This I believe helps in developing a space where one can be aware of choice and agency while experiencing different structures as well as engaging in the wideness of self.
As a therapist I am curious about what is unspoken, denied, unseen, implicit but present and the internal and external experiences of psyche. I am also an Art based therapist in progress.
I am the co author of Trans Affirmative Mental Health Care Guidelines Manual
I also am the co creator of Queer Affirmative Counselling Practices Resources Manual (QACP)

tanvi walavalkar
Executive Therapist, Collaborative approach to psychotherapy
I am Tanvi Walavalkar (she/they) located in Mumbai. I have completed my Master's in Clinical Psychology from S.N.D.T. University, Churchgate. I took up Psychology because getting healed alongside being part of other's healing journey sounded comforting.
As a therapist I am curious about patterns and themes in how people relate to others, including recurring conflicts or ways they seek connection and validation. My approach is rooted in building insight rather than rushing for quick solutions and band-aid fixes.
I belong to queer and dalit community, so I hope to bring in my lived experiences in creating a safe and inclusive environment where clients can explore and discuss the complexities of their identities and experiences.
I would describe myself as someone who loves painting and art in general. I mostly spend my time binging K-dramas and animes. I like to read sci-fi, gore, and thriller genres.

Pouravi Khare
Executive Therapist, Collaborative approach to psychotherapy
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!
