“From studying law to delving into the fascinating world of psychology, my journey has been a captivating exploration of the human mind and its intersection with the legal system. I pursued a BA LLB degree. I realized the importance of understanding the intricacies of human behavior in the pursuit of justice after acquiring a solid foundation in law.

Driven by curiosity, I embarked on a new academic path, immersing myself in the study of psychology and later finishing a Masters in Psychology. This captivating discipline provided me with invaluable insights into the complexities of human cognition, emotions, and motivations. I discovered how psychological principles can shed light on the decision-making processes of individuals involved in legal cases.

By combining my knowledge of law and psychology, I gained a unique perspective that allowed me to approach legal issues with a deeper understanding of the human element. Whether it’s assessing the mental state of individuals, analyzing witness testimonies, or providing expert guidance, my interdisciplinary background empowers me to navigate the intricate nuances of the legal system with empathy and insight. “The COVID-19 pandemic, which struck in 2020, highlighted the urgent need for mental health support. The State and Mind, founded in 2019, found itself aligned with the evolving needs of the community. We stepped up to provide therapy during the pandemic, offering solace and a safe space for healing.”

Our belief at The State and Mind is to find solutions that prioritize healing and growth, even when a couple is seeking marriage counseling and contemplating divorce. We assign lawyers to guide them through the legal process, but our main focus is to resolve their underlying problems, fostering understanding and communication.”

I am honored to be at the forefront of this movement, advocating the cause of mental health and breaking down barriers between disciplines. Together with our dedicated team, we strive to make a lasting impact on the lives of countless individuals across India and abroad. I’m incredibly proud of the work we are doing at The State and Mind, but what truly drives me is the impact we are making on people’s lives. Witnessing the positive transformations and knowing that we’re breaking down barriers between law and psychology is incredibly fulfilling.

Remember, you have the power to shape your destiny and I am here to support you every step of the way. Let’s embark on this journey together!

We, as people, tend to avoid situations in life out of fear, convenience or because we are too afraid to step out of our comfort zone. But maybe, stepping out of that zone is what’s best for us, for our family & for our future.

Talking to a mental health counsellor/legal aid professional about your troubles will help find a path that meets your needs and protects your future.

Let’s work together the right way!
