Ananya Agarwal

I’m Ananya Agarwal, an RCI-licensed Clinical Psychologist (A). My therapeutic style is collaborative, relational, and insight-oriented — grounded in warmth, empathy, and psychological depth. I strive to create a space where clients can understand their patterns rather than just manage symptoms, balancing structure with emotional exploration. My approach blends evidence-based practices with a strong focus on self-awareness, emotional regulation, and boundary work, helping clients move from self-criticism toward self-acceptance. I believe the therapeutic relationship is built on safety, trust, and genuine collaboration. It’s important that clients feel seen rather than evaluated — supported while still being gently challenged. I value authenticity, emotional attunement, and mutual respect, where both therapist and client bring curiosity into understanding the client’s experiences and patterns. For me, therapy works best when it becomes a space that models the kind of secure, compassionate connection many people have long needed but rarely experienced. Growing up as a caregiver for my brother, I witnessed firsthand the emotional and practical challenges that families like ours navigate every day. That experience inspired me to support individuals and families living with similar realities — to create spaces of understanding, empathy, and community. Over time, this personal connection evolved into a professional commitment to make mental health care more compassionate, accessible, and empowering. I continue this work because it’s deeply meaningful to see people grow, understand themselves better, and find relief in their own way. Each client reminds me how powerful small steps and honest conversations can be. This work keeps me grounded, learning, and connected to what truly matters — helping people feel seen and supported. My practice is guided by values of compassion, authenticity, and collaboration. I believe people are inherently capable of growth when given a safe and non-judgmental space. Therapy, to me, is about fostering trust, curiosity, and connection — both within oneself and in relationship with others.
