Patient Stories for Dr. Reena Sharma (PhD)
Happy with: Explanation of the health issueValue for money
Some experiences affected me so deeply, that I started questioning my ability to make decisions. My confidence was at all time low and I became socially awkward and disconnected. Nothing was going right anymore.
And I was totally ignoring the good things in life.
Even though I am generally very honest about my problems and feelings, I waited till I couldn't handle my thoughts anymore. Frustrated, I finally booked an appointment with Reena Sharma.
From the first session, she laid out things in steps, starting with my diet, deficiencies, habits & lifestyle - You see, they are all connected. Once physical health was taken care of, she went on to help me understand my thoughts, fears and start looking at them from a different perspective.
I really appreciate the patience and kindness with which she explained where was I going wrong and highlighted the things which I already understood and should be happy about.
I've usually come out of the sessions feeling happy and hopeful. This has helped me focus and work harder and most importantly live in the present. All is well. I'm dealing with everything, calmly.
For anyone who feels, stuck, helpless, generally unhappy, grumpy, weepy or already feels exhausted in life - I urge you to take a few sessions with Dr Reena Sharma. Keep patience with her and more importantly with yourself - You'll feel differently.

Dr. Reena is a kind, patient, and friendly person, which makes it easier to open up in front of her. There was an ease in talking right from the moment I met her. I had faced depression/ anxiety issues for over 14 years, starting from age 7, due to multiple reasons - growing up without a lot of friends, going through PCOS, having a critical father. The sessions with her made me come back to my core self, helped me rediscover my confidence, and have given my personal and professional life a new lease.

Visited For Anxiety Disorder CounsellingPsychological Problems

I had been suffering from anxiety issues for the last few years but had never really faced the problem. However, when the anxiety started worsening, I decided to start therapy. Visiting Dr. Reena Sharma was the best decision I made. Initially, I was sceptical about how would I initiate the conversation, however, she made me extremely comfortable starting from the very beginning. The ambience of the room is also extremely positive. I have been visiting her for the last 7-8 months now and I am doing so much better. She made me think, connect with my inner self and actually embrace my issues. I’m finally better in terms of my sleep cycle, issue of emotional eating, panic attacks, social anxiety and the fact that I’m actually now more connected with my feelings. I am now able to respond to situations better and all thanks to Dr. Reena’s support for that.

I found her online and booked session with Dr Reena Sharma,She was very friendly and helpful from the start of my therapy. In start she listened to my problems attentively and explained me what I was facing dealing with . I was not able to get out of it on my own. i was in depression and was not able to control my thoughts. I thought I would never be able to get out of that dark phase but as I took sessions it started seeming possible and now currently I am at a much better place than I was a year ago, I have started to feel things and feels like growing out of that bad phase, Yes the Dr knows more than the patient, she guided me with good intention according to my understanding, and I am feeling so much better now after the sessions. Her guidance is what I needed. I think that for anyone in depression or anxiety issues where they don't know what to do or are in a bad place should definitely give a visit to Dr Reena Sharma, I am glad that I took the step of getting therapy with her.
Thankyou very much Ma'am 🥺.

It's 3 sessions and I am discovering my shortfalls. She is helping good to recover from problems. She listens with patience and helps by answering questions through discovery. The best part is she slowly helps to discover problems and shows path to handle them. You simply need to trust her for getting solution.
