Anupama Kotiankar

I’m a mental health professional who transitioned into this field after spending nearly a decade in the corporate world. My journey into mental health began while volunteering at a suicide prevention helpline — an experience that deeply moved me and helped me recognize my true calling. It was there that I witnessed the profound impact of simply being present with someone in their most vulnerable moments.

My approach to therapy is grounded in compassion, empathy, and respect for each individual’s unique path. I strive to create a safe and non-judgmental space where clients feel seen, heard, and supported. I believe in empowering individuals to recognize their inner strengths, build emotional resilience, and navigate life’s challenges in ways that honor their autonomy and self-determination.

I bring with me not just formal training in mental health, but also the lived experience of transitioning careers and redefining purpose — something that allows me to connect with clients in an authentic and relatable way. Therapy, for me, is about walking alongside someone as they find their own path to healing and growth.
