I consulted Reach Psychiatry over a year ago when I was going through a rough patch in my life. I was referred to Ms. Smitha by Dr. Meena for psychotherapy sessions to treat depression, anxiety, ADHD. During the sessions, Smitha has been insightful in identifying my issues and providing clear and rational explanations. She is very attentive, empathetic and non-judgemental for what I have to say and poses thoughtful questions to make me understand better the issues and myself. She focuses on the root causes of a problem and provides strategies to work with them.
I could see that I have started looking at my issues from different perspectives and with less negative emotions. I’ve noticed significant improvement in my mood and behavior over the past one year, thanks to Smitha for her help, support and valuable counseling.
I highly recommend Ms. Smitha to anyone who needs help and assistance in dealing with mental health issues.

I visited Smitha with problems in focusing on a particular career for over 7 years. I was feeling underconfident, confused, and stranded about my approach in life. She helped me understand that I have moderate ADHD and has been helping me shape my life since the last 2 months.
She worked with me to help me understand my interests, skills, and my goals. I became more aware of trying to achieve the goals I'll enjoy and have been working towards them. I am gaining confidence and am excited about the journey, thanks to Smitha!
She ensures a comfortable and relaxing approach that makes it easier to open up. If you consult with Smitha for therapy, you're in great hands!

I've been undergoing psychotherapy and counselling with Dr Smitha for the last year approximately. I visited her for anxiety, depression and attention issues. She was very helpful, patient, understanding and supportive throughout. She was non-judgmental, understood my issues and raised several self reflecting points which further helped me understand and better myself. She is friendly and easy to talk to, points which make her a great counsellor. I have noticed a huge improvement after coming to her and highly recommend her as a qualified and experienced therapist.
Visited For Marriage/ Marital Counselling
I would recomend Doctor Smitha to anybody seeking couple / marriage related counseling, without a doubt. She professionally approaches a situation right from identifying the problem to giving a suitable solution
I initially felt uncomfortable approaching a psychologist...but she made me feel really welcome and at ease
She is humble, approachable and makes herself available whenever needed. She does not mince words and is clear about her opinion.
Her theraphy works wonders to stabilise a disturbed mind and provides a clear perception.

Ms. Smitha is generally patient with me and she’s very good at keeping the energy in the room light in the way that you feel safe and free to talk about whatever is it you’re dealing with. She respects my boundaries which makes me less nervous to be vulnerable and she is very encouraging. I have achieved great progress in the time that I have been in treatment with her.
