Dr. Varsha Choudhari Profile

I provide professional counseling services to clients from all walks of life and all age groups. With more than 15 years of thriving practice, I specialize in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy (REBT), Relaxation, Yoga, and Breathing techniques. My clients are assured of full confidentiality during therapy sessions.

I address various psychological issues such as anger, fear, anxiety, and depression with empathy and effectiveness. Additionally, I offer therapy and counseling related to women empowerment, pre and post-marital counseling, parenting, and child and adolescent issues.

The satisfaction and relief I witness on my clients’ faces at the end of a session is the driving force that motivates me to serve society with renewed enthusiasm. Every day, I am amazed to see how counseling and therapy open doors to a life of transformation. The peace and smiles I see on my clients’ faces at the end of counseling sessions are a constant source of inspiration for me.

I am now looking to step into the field of online counseling to reach a larger group of people and contribute to the well-being of our society. By expanding my services online, I aim to make a positive impact on even more lives, helping individuals find their path to mental and emotional well-being.
