Vartika came highly recommended from a friend of mine who had seen her briefly for anxiety-related issues. I was dealing with various mental health issues at the time, including depression, anxiety and trauma. Over the course of our first few sessions, Vartika listened to my problems with a great deal of patience and kindness, occasionally asking questions only to clarify certain points and to get a better understanding of my issues. She made me feel comfortable and gained my confidence through her extraordinary ability to listen without judgement, and her overall empathetic and methodical approach. My positive impression of her has only been reinforced since then, and I trust her completely with my problems.

From the outset, my experience with Vartika has been satisfying. This is the first time I sought therapy and embarked on a journey of self awareness and overcoming depression, and there are countless ways in which Vartika has facilitated and supported me in this journey. First and foremost, I was made aware of the clinical symptoms and made to develop an in-depth understanding of how depression hijacks the cognitive system. This helped me immensely in viewing my mental condition 'without judgement' as one would for any unconcealed physical injury, like a fractured bone. Post this understanding, my therapist provided me with adequate tools to combat the state. We sat together and identified my cognitive distortions and worked on them one-by-one together. It's crucial to mention here that I was also made to understand the significance of patience in this journey and constantly made to believe that I can better my life. She promotes 'thriving' instead of merely coping. What readers/mental health warriors can find useful here is that my therapist leaves ample room for flexibility in topics of discussions, is empathetic, does a good job at understanding and interpreting my verbal outpourings. What personally works best for me, perhaps because I am a scientist myself, is that she incorporates into our discussions, the current research topics and technical terms from psychology(with adequate explanations) which relevantly apply to the thoughts/situations I mention. This not only helps me assess that she interpreted me correctly, but also helps me associate the thought/incident to a specific topic which in turn facilitates me to gain additional knowledge and understanding on it, on my own. I truly feel the freedom to bring anything on the table and we then try relevant tools/techniques to come to a viable solution. This is a fairly long review and I have consciously chosen to dive deep instead of giving simplistic qualifiers like 'good communication skills', which obviously still apply. So anyone in need of help can definitely get in touch with Vartika.

I was a bit sceptical before starting my therapy sessions, I believed that everyone is saying the same thing what difference can a therapist make?but after meeting Vartika I understood what difference a right therapist can make. She is so patient, calm and will listen to you with empathy. She will become a friend with whom you won't fear to discuss your problems. I would highly recommend it if you are going through anything and you need help,She can help you and I can firmly say that because of my experience.

I had a very positive therapy session. The therapist i.e., Vartika Modi Maam listened attentively and created a space where I felt safe to speak openly, without fear of judgment. What stood out most was that she didn’t just comfort me — she challenged my thought patterns in a constructive way, which helped me see my situation from a clearer and more realistic perspective.
