Ms. Amrita Chakraborty

My experience with Amrita mam has been extremely good since day 1. Initially i was seeing her for anger and family issues, but it boiled down to deeper problems. Her experience and expertise helped me identify the root cause and in turn explain why i behaved or felt a certain way all these years. Her structured method of therapy made it very beneficial and i would be referring to all that she taught me, throughout my life. What i admire most about her is her non-judgemental nature because of which i could share anything and everything without any hesitation. And not to forget the faith she put in me...she treated me as her own child and guided me in times of confusion and rebel...even outside the sessions. I have taken some very significant life decisions under her guidance and her faith in my abilities increased my own faith in myself. I have got not just a therapist, but a guide and confidant. I am extremely thankful to her.

I was going thru a problem of excessive fatigue through out the day resulting into excessive sleepiness during the day time even after adequate sleep. I used to feel extremely tired all the time. It's going on for 6-7 yrs now. I had consulted many doctors and they did all kinds of experimentation on me. But instead of solving my problem, the problem kept aggravating. In the process, in late 2020, I got diagnosed with severe sleep apnea. The doctors said that start using CPAP machine. You will start improving within 3 months. Nothing happened even after 1 year of using the machine. Then the problem started aggravating so much that I was struggling to focus on my daily work. If I tried to focus for 10 minutes on my work, I felt restless. I started loosing on memory as well. I kept searching for options what to do. Then as a last resort I thought I should talk to someone to check whether my lifestyle is the issue and something needs to be done. It is when I came across Ms Amrita Chakraborty.

I didn’t have high hopes from an Indian therapist, but I was pleasantly surprised by Ms. Amrita’s insight into my problems. She is one of the few persons in my life who understood my situation and correctly identified the root causes of my problems while patiently listening to my troubles. Her kind, non-judgmental, empathic nature and welcoming personality put me at ease immediately and we had extremely friendly sessions that didn’t feel like a client-therapist relationship for once. The fact that she holds her face to face sessions at home instead of in an office setting is one of her USPs. I could only manage 4 sessions with her due to paucity of time. I hope to continue my sessions with her in the future, this time online. While I am capable enough to solve my problems myself, I needed an outsider’s perspective on my issues and the pearls of wisdom that she dispensed have helped enhance the quality of my life. One might need to modify the strategies and advice she provided as she spoke from a very urban Indian context and I am based in Canada where life is totally different and involves a lot of complexities & hardships. But even then, I feel grateful to her for believing in me & lending me a patient ear instead of dismissing me like my own family members. That in itself felt therapeutic and erased part of my heart ache. Her professional opinion also confirmed the strong suspicions I had regarding something, adding to my mental peace. What I found most refreshing was that she was honest enough to point out certain aspects of my personality on which I need to work in order to improve my communication skills. I would gladly recommend her to anyone who is seeking advice, guidance, counselling or a little direction in life. Best possible location in South Calcutta. Great ease of getting appointments/2 hour double sessions.

I had the privilege of being guided by Dr. Amrita during a particularly difficult phase of my life, and I’m deeply grateful for the support, insight, and healing she offered. From the very first session, her warm, friendly nature and the calm, comforting energy she radiated, along with her beautiful, genuine smile, made me feel at ease and safe to open up.
