Approach

Maitri’s therapeutic approach is rooted in positive psychology, focusing on an individual’s strengths and potential rather than solely on problems. She integrates the wisdom of Indian psychology with evidence-based methods like CBT and SFBT, creating a personalized approach that encourages practical, action-oriented solutions. Her experience with children and parents allows her to create a safe and nurturing space for younger clients while guiding parents to understand and support their children’s growth.

Maitri also specializes in meditative and relaxation techniques to help individuals manage stress, reduce anxiety, and enhance self-awareness. These practices complement her solution-focused approach, providing clients with tools to achieve a deeper sense of inner peace and emotional regulation.

Maitri believes that therapy is not just about addressing difficulties—it’s a way to enhance one’s quality of life, discover purpose, and add value. Her approach encourages individuals to become better versions of themselves, striving for growth, self-awareness, and resilience. Counseling, to her, is a journey of exploration, whether to overcome challenges or to simply add more meaning and direction to life.

Personal Note:

I believe that every person carries the potential for growth and fulfilment. Therapy is not just about fixing problems; it’s about understanding yourself better, developing resilience, and creating a life that aligns with your values. My goal is to help individuals discover that potential and navigate life with confidence and purpose.
