Ami Patel: Trauma, PTSD, Anxiety, Panic, OCD, Grief, Loss, Stress Counselling Psychologist (Therapist) in Pune

Hi, I’m Ami, and I’m so glad you’re considering therapy. I am a trauma-informed therapist since 2018. When I first started therapy as a client, I was really nervous. I knew the therapist was experienced, but I was still worried about how it would go. Even when the session started, I couldn’t shake off the nervousness because they seemed so serious. They didn’t smile or acknowledge my awkwardness, which made me feel even more uneasy. That experience really shaped what I wanted to do. I knew I wanted to create a warm, comforting, and very human space for my clients. A place where they’d feel at ease from the very first session. Therapy already faces challenges like stigma and fear, so my goal is to make it simpler and more approachable.  

When it comes to mental health, we all tend to operate across three main areas-our thoughts, emotions, and behaviors-but each of us leans into these in different ways. Some people are more action-oriented and respond to challenges by doing, while others are more emotionally driven, making sense of the world based on how they feel. In the early sessions, I like to get a sense of where the client naturally sits along this spectrum, and then tailor the approach to fit their needs.  Whether you’re navigating stress, overthinking, anxiety, body image issues, relationship issues or trauma, or simply feeling lost- I’m here to support you, every step of the way.
