Psychologist Vartika Mutha recognizes that every person has a different set of needs, and believes her role as a therapist is to facilitate the healing process by helping her clients tap into their inherent capacity to heal. Her approach involves co-creating a safe space with her clients where they can slow down and take a break from external demands. The overarching goal is to allow for an integrative growth process to take effect and to live life from a place of empowerment. Dr. Mutha draws on meditative techniques and principles of Somatic Experiencing to attune to her clients’ nervous systems as she listens closely to their narratives. As the therapeutic conversation unfolds, we can begin to identify and address core issues that get in the way of leading a more fulfilling life.
