    Navigating the teenage years with my child was challenging, and Chatura Nagarjuna helped me gain tools to connect better with my teenager. She had practical, realistic advice that really worked for us. Now, our relationship is much stronger, and there’s less conflict. I’m grateful for her help and guidance.

    I sought couple counseling from Chatura Nagarjuna after struggling with communication issues in my relationship. I’am from Kerala looking for a Tamil psychologist, I was thrilled to find Chatura. She understood our cultural background and the nuances that can affect relationships.
    Her insights helped us see each other’s perspectives and find common ground. We’ve made significant progress and feel more connected now. I highly recommend her to anyone in need of couple counseling.

    Chatura Nagarjuna was exactly who I needed to talk to. I was dealing with perfectionism that was leading to burnout, and she helped me see things from a healthier perspective. She’s down-to-earth and made it easy to open up. Now, I’m learning to let go of unrealistic standards and feel much more at ease.
