Pooja is a therapist, supervisor and teacher in Private Practice. She sees therapy as a community practice to resist systemic problems and nurture space for navigating life with humor, gentleness and presence. Her therapy practice is informed by Mindfulness based psychotherapy and Narrative practices.

She graduated in 2016 with a Bachelor’s in Psychology Honors from Christ University and in 2017 with a Post Graduate diploma in Psychological Counseling skills from St. Francis College. Additionally she holds certifications in Mindfulness based psychotherapy, Narrative practices and Queer affirmative practice.

In her 6 years of work, beyond seeing clients in individual therapy, she has also facilitated group therapy spaces, created training programs and community projects. She is also a supervisor and supports therapists in their own journey through work in individual and group supervision spaces.

Her work is rooted in trauma-informed, anti-oppressive and social justice principles. She believes deeply in the power of listening to the body as a way to reconnect with one’s values and dreams of gentler, embodied and slower ways of life.

When not working, she enjoys reading, staring at trees, napping and wondering what to make for dinner.
