Alana Jeni Profile

I am a psychologist having worked in both hospital settings and with major corporate firms. This diverse experience has allowed me to hone my skills as a psychologist. Currently, I am a dedicated researcher pursuing a PhD in Neuropsychology. I am trained in individual therapy, group therapy, and wellness coaching, and I adopt an eclectic approach in my practice. I have experience integrating various therapeutic techniques, including cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), existential therapy, and mindfulness-based approaches.

My work in hospitals has provided me with extensive experience in diagnosing and treating a wide range of psychological disorders. In contrast, my time with corporate firms has enhanced my skills in addressing workplace-related mental health issues and promoting overall employee well-being. Additionally, I possess extensive multicultural exposure and experience working with clients of diverse gender identities and backgrounds, including individuals from both North and South India. My dedication to continuous learning and adaptability ensures that I am well-equipped to meet the diverse needs of my clients, fostering their growth and resilience.

    I’m now on my third session with Alana and I’m genuinely amazed at how much progress we’ve made in such a short time. Even though she is quite young, she is incredibly skilled, insightful and works with really effective tools and methods.

    I’ve previously been in therapy with two other psychologists (together more than 12 sessions) and never got nearly as far as I have with her already. She very quickly identified the core of my issues and we are now working concretely and purposefully with them using different techniques that really suit me.

    It feels safe, professional, and for the first time in a long time I actually feel that I’m moving forward. If you’re looking for someone who is sharp, committed and really good at what she does – book her.

    Great session!

     by Ritu Jasrotia Malhotra

    She was so patient and present to listen to all that I had to share, perhaps on repeat too! Felt really heard and seen. And suggested some useful interventions to help me with my hyper vigilance.

     by Noble Mathew

    This was my first therapy session and I felt very calm and safe. I really appreciate how my problems were heard

     by Amritha

    Good session

     by Sindhu Gaddam

    Session was good!

     by Anu Ann

    Alana is a wonderful listener. I've had two sessions with her, and the insights she shared were truly valuable. She explained things clearly and helped me to understand my situation in a better way. It made a lots of sense. I would love to continue taking more sessions with her.

     by Aiswarya Jahnavi

    She helped understand my thoughts and feelings. Suggested me how to move forward. The session went well and helped me feel better.

     by Avijeet Mohapatra

    In my experience of interacting with therapist, Alana did a commendable job in understanding me and my predicament right from the first connect.
