That Desi Psychologist: Bridging the Gap between You and Mental Health

I’m a Clinical Psychology masters student at Christ University, a proud alumna of Indraprastha College for Women, and a full-time mental health advocate. With over six years of academic grounding in psychology and three years of teaching it, I’ve built my professional life out of learning, sharing, and mentoring! My leadership journey has had more stages than a Broadway show! I’ve helped organise global championships, hosted national level summits, danced my way through policy dinners, and advocated for inclusion. My experience spans across the psychological spectrum; quite literally. I’ve interned at prestigious institutions like Fortis Healthcare, Lady Hardinge Medical College, Special Olympics Bharat, and many more, diving deep into clinical observations and psychology.

I am a chirpy girl with huge dreams and a strong zeal to prove haters wrong. I’m like a cup of coffee: a little bit strong, a little bit sweet, and guaranteed to energise your day!

I have completed my graduation in Psychology hons from Kamala Nehru college, University of Delhi, and I’m currently planning to pursue my masters. I am writer and one of my articles got published in a magazine. I have practical exposure and experience working at NGO’s and hospital.

I’m an enthusiastic, emotional soul who wears my heart on my sleeve. I find joy in the little things, whether it’s the warmth of a sunrise, the sound of laughter, or the comfort of a good book.I’m a wordsmith at heart, with ink flowing through my veins and a head full of stories waiting to be told. Writing is my
superpower, and I love crafting worlds, weaving tales, and playing with words to create magic on the page.

Hi! I’m currently pursuing my Bachelor’s in Applied Psychology Honours from the University of Delhi and serve as the Head of Graphics at That Desi Psychologist. I like to call myself a graphic artisan. From HR intern to R\&D intern, I’ve dipped my toes in many roles, but creativity is where I thrive.

When I’m not making pixels dance or decoding human behavior, I’m either binge-watching The Office (yes, I quote Michael Scott way too often), vibing to music, or hoarding cute stationery like it’s a full-time job. I live where psychology meets design, with a sprinkle of Dunder Mifflin energy and a whole lot of washi tape.

1. I am currently pursuing BSc Psychology Hons from CHRIST (Deemed to be University), Delhi NCR. 2. I have a podcast on Spotify, called DETOX, where I talk about mental health. It has been streamed in over 10 countries. 3. I’m a rather introverted person who is passionate about coffee and the cozy ambiance of cafés!

I am a second-year undergraduate student pursuing a Bachelor’s in Media and Public Affairs. I draw energy from both solitude and social interactions. I am a multitasker and you will always find me switching between projects and priorities. One of my key strengths is effective communication. Whether it’s public speaking or engaging with peers, my roles, including my involvement with TEDx Christ Delhi NCR as a Curator and Dainik Bhaskar as an intern, have provided me with practical insights into managing large projects and working under pressure. Fueling my journey is a steadfast belief in the power of manifestations; I find that envisioning success and setting clear intentions often brings them to life, guiding my steps with purpose and optimism.

I hold a degree in Psychology and Philosophy from Daulat Ram College, University of Delhi, and am currently enrolled in a master’s program in Clinical Psychology. With two years of experience teaching Psychology, I have also gained practical training in clinical and counseling settings through various internships. Beyond my academic and professional pursuits, I am a dancer and have been awarded scholarships in my senior secondary school.

When I am not lost in my world of a 7.1-inch screen, you’ll probably find me reading, cooking, dancing, or singing. Known as the life of the party, I balance my social nature with a love for solitude and solo dates. I effortlessly embody many roles for those around me while maintaining a strong sense of self. From exploring old-school museums and poetry nights to dancing at techno concerts, I have a vibrant spectrum of experiences and passions.

I’m currently pursuing a Bachelor’s in Applied Psychology (Hons.) with a Minor in Management Studies from Ramanujan College, University of Delhi. Alongside academics, I work as a tutor and co-founded a social impact project that’s close to my heart. I’ve explored diverse roles through multiple internships across clinical, organizational, research, and HR settings, and I’m also an active core member of my college societies, where I’ve grown as both a learner and a leader.

Outside of work and academics, I find joy in experimenting in the kitchen (with surprisingly delicious results!), reading fiction to ground myself, and dancing like nobody’s watching. I thrive in fast-paced environments, often racing deadlines with a bit of chaos and a lot of coffee. If you ever need a supportive friend who brings both snacks and serotonin—I’m that person!

I have a bachelor’s degree in Psychology and Journalism from Mount Carmel College, and I’m pursuing my Masters in Clinical Psychology from Christ University (2024-2026). I’m passionate about the mental health field and I’ve completed observerships, internships and courses to further my knowledge in Psychology. I love learning new things and I’m easily fascinated. When I’m not lost in an internet rabbit hole, you can find me crocheting, reading, writing or dancing. I’m a strong believer in having silly craftsy hobbies, touching grass often, and going on solo dates as mental health gamechangers!

I’m a counselling psychologist with over two years of hands-on experience in the field. I hold a Master’s degree in Clinical Psychology from Amity University, where I graduated with a silver medal and was honored with the all-rounder trophy for my holistic contributions.

My journey in psychology has been deeply shaped by my work at rehabilitation centers and hospitals, which only strengthened my passion for mental health and healing. Alongside my professional path, I’ve been an active member of Rotaract for several years, driven by a deep commitment to social work and community impact.

Outside the therapy room, I bring the same energy and enthusiasm to everything I do. I can sing my way out of any tough situation and never back down from a good old Bollywood dance-off. Guilty of being a workaholic, but that doesn’t stop me from being the most energetic presence at any outing or party.

I have completed my Bachelor’s degree in Psychology (Honours) from Jagannath University. Over the past two years, I have also been actively involved in teaching, which has become one of the most fulfilling parts of my daily routine. I am deeply passionate about continuous learning and committed to spreading awareness about mental health. To further explore the field of psychology, I have taken part in various internships and programs that have helped me gain practical exposure. In addition to my academic and teaching pursuits, I am also a writer and have co-authored four anthologies. A thrill-seeker at heart and an avid reader, I find strength in my resilience and prefer to embrace life as it comes, going with the flow while staying grounded in purpose.

I run my own dance studio, where I have been teaching Kathak and other dance forms for over three years.

I am passionate about blending my academic interests with my love for the arts, and I believe in creating meaningful learning spaces that celebrate both discipline and creativity.

I am currently pursuing my Master’s in Neuropsychology from NFSU, Gandhingar. My interests lie in the intersection of brain and behaviour, that is, how neural activity translates into thoughts, emotions and actions. Outside academia, i will be found overconsuming music and indulging in a bowl of mac & cheese.

I’m currently pursuing my Master’s in Psychology from Banaras Hindu University. I’m deeply passionate about mental health and love expressing that through creative design. A cute fact about me? I collect tiny notebooks even though I hardly ever write in them—they’re just too adorable to resist!

Hi, I’m Niyati Sood, HR Manager and Team Coordinator in the Academic Guidance and Mentorship (AGM) department at That Desi Psychologist. I’m in the final year of my B.A. (Hons.) Psychology with Research at Chandigarh University. I’m passionate about understanding human behavior and applying it to create real-world impact. Whether it’s supporting underserved students, leading HR initiatives, or developing content and research for grassroots projects, I love contributing to work that’s meaningful, socially driven, and full of learning.

Currently in the third year of my bachelor’s in Psychology. I hold a strong academic record and have a passion for speaking, which led me to multiple opportunities and stage experiences at my school and college.

I’m a curious blend of peaceful and chaotic, often both at once. The propoganda I keep falling for? coffee and good music and spontaneous thoughts about life. I have a growing love for philosophy, and often wonders whether Plato and Freud would’ve gotten along over a cup of coffee. (Spoiler: I think not.)
I want to learn everything I possibly can, and like making people feel very special, especially on their days. I trip over nothing. Frequently.

I’m someone who enjoys the comfort of solitude but also meaningful conversation. Life confuses me, excites me, scares me, and fascinates me… which is probably why I’m studying Psychology at heart.
