Akemi Malgonkar

I have been working for 23 years in this field and specialize in Trauma Work, Anxiety, Depression, Grief and Obsessive Compulsive Disorders.

I have a masters in Counseling Psychology. I like to see how patterns or early imprints in our lives impact us later in life for better or worse. I like to see the expressions in people's faces or the relief to know that they are not crazy but it is the brain and how it works that needs to be understood and worked with.

I like to explain to my clients how depression and anxiety have their own propagandas and can skew the brain but when understood one can reclaim their lives.

I like to work with people who grapple and struggle with grief and need help to deal with the complexity of grief in a world that is quite illiterate to it.

Lastly I like to scramble the OCD patterns in the brain so that once broken the grip on the person is lessened considerably and they are free to be who they are.

In short, I like my job and the fact that I can help people through it. It is a pleasure and a responsibility I do not take lightly.
