Dr. Shraboni Nandi
“Understanding the mind, helping the heart.”
A Journey Rooted in Curiosity and Compassion
“Environment around us influence/affect one’s perception, cognitive or emotional well‑being, as well as behaviour”
Driven by early questions about human behavior and a passion to support individuals through psychological struggle, Dr. Shraboni Nandi earned her Ph.D. in Psychology and is registered with India’s Rehabilitation Council of India (RCI). Over the past 20 years, she has worked with clients of all ages to promote emotional wellbeing. “I chose to become a psychologist because I am very curious to know human behaviour… I want to help people overcome effects of trauma, mental health crises and to bring difference in lives,” she shares.
Creating a Safe Space for Healing
Known for her empathetic, non‑judgmental manner, Dr. Nandi provides a therapeutic environment where clients feel seen and supported. As one client testified,
“Dr Shraboni Nandi has been a guiding light in my journey toward understanding myself better. Her insights into my personality and behavioural challenges made a significant difference in my life.”
Therapeutic Philosophy & Techniques
At the core of her practice is Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), often blended with behavioral therapy, humanistic psychotherapy, applied behavior analysis, and art therapy. She emphasizes that “the environment around us influences one’s perception, cognitive or emotional well‑being, as well as behaviour,” guiding each therapy plan to be realistic and context‑sensitive.
Common areas of treatment include anxiety, depression, trauma, personality and behavioral disorders, ADHD, autism spectrum, stress and anger management, family and career counseling.
Three Client‑Permissioned Journeys
1. Anand: Healing Anxiety and Finding Clarity
Anand, a young professional, came to therapy overwhelmed by work-related anxiety and self-doubt. Through CBT, Dr. Nandi helped him identify “catastrophizing” patterns and guided him to challenge such thoughts. Anand built realistic coping steps—like gradual exposure to fears and self-monitoring diaries—and reported a significant reduction in panic episodes and improved workplace confidence.
2. Meera: Rebuilding Trust After Trauma
Meera experienced lingering trauma after a painful personal loss. In therapy, she navigated emotional recurrence through structured behavioral experiments and mindfulness-infused CBT. Dr. Nandi supported her in developing a safety plan, grounding strategies, and stronger emotional regulation. Over a few months, Meera regained her capacity for close relationships and began reclaiming joy in daily life.
3. Aarav (Parents’ Account): Managing ADHD and Emotional Dysregulation
Aarav, a 7‑year‑old with ADHD symptoms, struggled with impulsivity and emotional lability. Under Dr. Nandi’s guidance, his parents implemented daily reward systems, calming routines, and emotion-coaching. Sessions also included play-based ABA and art therapy to increase self-awareness. Over time, Aarav’s outbursts lessened, his focus gradually improved, and he began expressing himself more calmly at school and home.

The Heart of Her Approach
Dr. Nandi emphasizes her therapeutic philosophy succinctly:
