Akhila Mahesh, Associate Therapist at Munn Health

Passionate about psychology, I entered this field with a singular purpose: helping people. Having experienced therapy myself, I recognize the significance of a compassionate therapist who facilitates the exploration and integration of different aspects of oneself. My eclectic approach tailors to individual needs, with a focus on humanistic, mindfulness-based, and trauma-informed care. I have experience providing emotional and psychological support to individuals during highly challenging times.

I hold a Master of Science in Clinical Psychology from Christ (Deemed to be) University in Bangalore, India. My specializations include trauma-informed therapy, where I am knowledgeable in approaches that recognize and respond to the impact of trauma, and queer affirmative therapy, where I am trained to provide inclusive and affirmative care to LGBTQ+ individuals, understanding the unique challenges they face.

My areas of expertise encompass anxiety, coping skills, depression, grief, self-esteem, stress, trauma, relationship issues, academic stress, self-harm, social anxiety, and body image issues. I am dedicated to helping my clients develop the tools and resilience needed to overcome these challenges, aiming to guide each individual towards a life that is not only more balanced but also deeply fulfilling.

I am here to provide guidance and support every step of the way, offering a hand to help you navigate through your journey. I strive to create a compassionate and effective therapeutic environment where you will feel safe, understood, and supported. My ultimate aim is to restore hope, foster resilience, and guide you towards a more fulfilling and balanced life.
