Sukriti Dua

I am a trauma-informed psychologist and a dance/movement therapy facilitator. Having done my post graduation in Clinical Psychology, I have also completed certifications in Dance/Movement Therapy (CMTAI) and Trauma Informed Care (TISS). Having an experience of 7 years, I have worked with children and adolescents of various needs via schools, NGOs and intervention centers through counseling and Dance/Movement Therapy. I currently have my own private practice through- Mentally Yours, and also offer consultancy through other mental health organizations, catering to individuals across the ages: from adolescents to adults. I take an eclectic approach to therapy which helps me attend to varied client needs on a time to time basis. My presence in the therapy space is based in the Person-Centered Therapy approach and is queer friendly. The work from mind-body practices, relational and trauma approaches is also at the centre of my therapeutic framework within sessions. Keeping a non-diagnostic lens in my counseling work, I try to build a collaborative approach with clients and am open to feedback as well.

For my child clients, I take a mixed approach comprising play, arts, movement, stories and more, to utilize mediums that are most relatable for them. Giving appropriate agency and providing optimal safety in sessions are priorities to build healthy therapeutic relationships with them.
