Our Approach
At our practice, we as therapists embrace a therapeutic approach that is tailored to meet the unique needs of each client. We draw from a diverse range of modalities, including mindfulness-based approaches, narrative-informed therapy, cognitive-behavioral therapy, existential therapy, solution-focused brief therapy, client-centered therapy, and psychodynamic psychotherapy.
Central to our approach is empathy, a strong focus on social justice models, and the agency of the clients. We deeply value and address the impact of intersectionalities on mental health and the dangers of a single story.
We approach our work with curiosity and openness, acknowledging that it is an ongoing journey. We understand that we may not have all the answers, but we are committed to continuous learning, growth, and refining our understanding. It is our unwavering dedication to taking a stance and remaining receptive to new insights that enable us to better serve our clients and advocate for positive change in the mental health field.
At our practice, we are here to support you with compassion and respect, recognizing the unique challenges and experiences you bring. By recognizing and validating the complexities of your identity and the systems of oppression you may face, we strive to create a therapeutic space that promotes inclusivity, equality, and empowerment and is responsive to your needs, ensuring that you feel seen, heard, and valued throughout your therapeutic journey.
As Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie said “The single story creates stereotypes and the problem with stereotypes is not that they are untrue but that they are incomplete, they make one story become the only story. When we reject the single story, when we realize that there is never a single story about any place, we regain a kind of paradise ”
About Us
Janani Rao
Founder
&
Psychologist

From a tender age, I embarked on a profound journey that solidified my unwavering commitment to the mental health profession. Driven by a wealth of lived experiences, I recognized the immense significance of support and the transformative power of life's trials and tribulations. Despite perpetually feeling like an outsider, I have come to embrace and celebrate my unique identity, finding solace in the knowledge that it allows me to provide a safe haven devoid of judgment or bias for those in need.
​
Over the years, I have diligently pursued education and professional growth, augmenting my knowledge base through diverse avenues. My academic pursuits encompass a Bachelor's degree in Psychology, Literature, and Mass Communication, followed by a Master's degree specializing in Clinical Psychology. Additionally, I further honed my skills by completing a Post Graduate Diploma Course in Counseling, alongside gaining invaluable practical experience through internships at multiple esteemed institutions to be able to be the therapist i am today.
​
For me, this journey is an ongoing evolution, wherein I steadfastly uphold my core values of respect, inclusivity, social justice, agency, and empathy. It is my unwavering belief that everyone should have access to mental health services, and I am resolute in my mission to provide such vital care to all who seek it. Through community-building efforts and the promotion of mental health awareness, I strive to create a society where the barriers to seeking help are dismantled, ensuring that individuals from all walks of life can attain the support they deserve.

​I’m not just a therapist—I’m someone who has lived through the challenges many of my clients face. After spending years in senior roles at global corporations like Google and Microsoft, I found myself battling depression behind the scenes. That personal journey taught me a powerful truth: while our careers may bounce back, our mental health and relationships—like fragile glass—need our deepest care and attention.
Therapy became a turning point in my life. It offered me the space to pause, reflect, and reconnect with who I truly am. Inspired by that transformation, I pursued formal training to support others on their healing journey. I hold a Master’s degree in Counselling Psychology, a Post Graduate Diploma in Counselling, and have trained at leading mental health institutions.
My approach is eclectic and flexible—drawing from various evidence-based methods to meet each client’s unique needs. I offer therapy that is tailor-made, grounded in empathy, and held within a completely non-judgmental space. Whether you're navigating anxiety, burnout, life transitions, or relationship struggles, I provide a safe environment to explore and grow at your own pace. You don’t have to have it all figured out—just a willingness to begin.
