Hello, I’m Deeksha Upadhyay, I believe therapy is deeply human a space where we can slow down, become curious about ourselves, and understand the experiences and relationships that have shaped who we are.
Approach - integrative, relational, and depth-oriented, drawing from psychodynamic, humanistic, trauma-informed, CBT, ACT, narrative, and transpersonal approaches.
Concerns - navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship difficulties, emotional overwhelm, identity, and life transitions.
Focus - I am particularly interested in understanding what lies beneath the presenting concern, the patterns, adaptations, beliefs, and relational experiences that influence how we move through life.
For me, my relationship with my clients is the most important thing. First foundation I set is to have a strong alliance, a kind of relationship they have never experienced before.
My work has also led me to become increasingly curious about human potential and what it means to move beyond simply coping or recovering, towards functioning, living, and experiencing life more fully. This curiosity has shaped my growing interest in wellness, nervous-system regulation, and neurowellness, and in exploring how psychological work can be enhanced through the body, breath, attention, sensory experience, and other pathways of regulation.
Here to create a possibility of fully becoming who you are!
Hello, I’m Smriti Agrawal, a passionate and empathetic psychologist who believes in the unique strengths each individual carries. I hold a Master’s degree in Applied Psychology (Clinical and Counselling Practice) from the Tata Institute of Social Sciences (TISS), Mumbai.
My approach to therapy is integrative and tailored to your unique needs. I work from a trauma-informed lens and draw from various modalities including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Internal Family Systems (IFS), Humanistic and Narrative approaches, as well as solution-focused and strengths-based techniques. I am also a queer-affirmative and neurodivergent-friendly practitioner.
Therapy for me is a powerful space where people can formulate their own stories, build emotional resilience, and move toward meaningful change. I believe therapy holds the potential to help you feel grounded in your self-worth, make informed choices, and navigate life with more clarity and self-compassion. Through the therapeutic space, I hope to offer you the deep knowing that "I am not alone in this." You deserve to be heard, to feel safe, and to be met with empathy and understanding.
Hi I’m Riya, an RCI-licensed psychologist & Associate Psychologist at UpLife.
I see therapy as a collaborative and supportive process, one that helps you reconnect with your inner strengths, make sense of your experiences, and move forward in ways that feel meaningful to you.
I believe that every person carries inner wisdom, even when it feels buried, confusing, or out of reach.
My approach is warm, integrative, and flexible and shaped around your needs. I strive to build a therapeutic space rooted in safety, compassion, and collaboration, where we can work together at your pace, toward healing, insight, and meaningful change.
