Ms. Samiksha Manchanda

When I first came to Samiksha, I was in a place of deep survival. My PTSD was so heightened that something as simple as seeing a white car would send my body into panic and freeze mode. I had no boundaries, was constantly gaslit, overworked, and still surrounded by abusive dynamics. I felt immense guilt for even thinking about setting boundaries—so much so that I had become disconnected from life itself.

Samiksha helped me navigate through all of that with compassion, patience, and steady support. She created a space where I could finally start to understand my trauma, listen to my body, and rebuild a sense of safety and worth. Through our work together, I’ve learned how to set boundaries without guilt, how to care for myself without sham e, and how to reclaim my voice and my space.

Today, my PTSD, vaginismus, and anxiety are manageable. I no longer live in constant fear, waiting for the next bad thing to happen. I can finally breathe again—without panic, without dread. I never imagined I’d get to this place, but with Samiksha’s help, I have.

I’m incredibly grateful for her guidance, and I wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone dealing with trauma, anxiety, or the weight of feeling powerless. She helped me come back to life.

Samiksha has been my CBT therapist for a long time. She has helped me with a lot of my mental health/personal issues with life-changing guidance, tools and tips

She is a very patient listener and completely non judgemental. The way she listened to my issues made it very easy for me to feel safe and comfortable sharing difficult, personal stories with her.

Her demeanour is very friendly and she focuses on whatever you want her help with. I got very lucky to have found Samiksha. I would highly recommend her for anyone looking to work on their mental-health/life issues through cognitive therapy.

Samiksha has helped me overcome anxiety that had greatly affected my quality of life. From feeling breathlessness and severe physical pain throughout the day to being able to live without my thoughts overwhelming me, I came a long way with her support. She is a very patient listener and is absolutely non judgemental. I feel complete ease discussing issues with her. I cannot recommend her enough. I have taken sessions with three other psychologists before her but she is the only one I could stick with.

I have been seeing Samiksha for over four years now, and overtime I have seen significant improvements in my anxiety levels, and have been able to build effective coping mechanisms, and ability to withstand situations I used to crumble under. She has equipped me with strong mental and emotional skills to navigate through situations in life. She is really calm, patient, non judgmental, and provides a safe space to discuss vulnerabilities and helps in navigating through them effectively. Her kindness and patience make the sessions feel safe and comfortable.

I am incredibly grateful to Samiksha for her guidance and support in helping me navigate anxiety, life’s uncertainties, and imposter syndrome. Her compassionate approach, patience, and insightful advice have truly made a difference in my journey toward self-confidence and clarity. Each session provided me with valuable tools to manage my thoughts and emotions more effectively. Her encouragement has empowered me to trust myself and embrace my achievements. Thank you, Samiksha for your kindness and dedication. Your support has been life-changing, and I deeply appreciate all that you have done for me.

I started seeing Samiksha almost a year back and she has been extremely instrumental in helping me overcome a lot of the issues I struggle with. She is very easy to talk to and has helped me understand the root cause of many issues through our regular virtual sessions. She has also always been flexible with sessions, which really helps someone who has a very hectic and unstructured work life. All in all, it has been a pleasant experience and I would strongly recommend her, especially for lawyers.

Samiksha has been my therapist for the last 4 years, on and off. Every complex issue I've had difficulty dealing with she has helped me with. Be it a deeply dysfunctional childhood, or trying to navigate financial rockbottom, or the death of a parent or even left activism, she has helped me lay my thoughts out with zero judgement till i could process it all. If I've survived life so far, a huge part of it is because of her sessions. Whenever we have been out of touch, I've never felt any hesitation in reaching out to her. *** ***** ** *** ** *** **** ************* *** ***** *** *** ** *** **** ****** * **** ****

Samiksha has been a wonderful therapist—warm, empathetic, and incredibly understanding. She creates a safe space where I feel truly heard and supported. Her insights have helped me gain clarity and handle challenges with more confidence. I'm really grateful for the progress I’ve made with her guidance.

I have been working on anxiety and stress management issues through online counselling with Samiksha for over a year now. She has been a safe space, an honest doctor and continues to support me in my journey through practical advice, simplified explanations and healthy encouragement.

If you’re looking for help with relationship stuff, Dr. Samikha is amazing. Super easy to talk to and great at helping with communication, resolving conflicts, or just figuring things out together. I have never been a super open person but I realized I needed some help with emotional intimacy and she helped me ease up and relax and just talk about it.
