Dr. Kavita Sagarkar

I cannot be more thankful for finding Dr. Kavita! I first approached her for my issues with severe dysthymia, social anxiety & induced attacks. She has a very strong work ethic, is patient in listening to the issues and meticulous in analysing the problem source. On the face of it, it might seem that paying 3000 bucks for an hour is a lot, but from my cumulative experience with her for 2 years, I can more than confidently say that it is worth it. What particularly sets her apart is her approach to imparting therapy. I have had my share of therapists at one of the most reputed hospitals in India, and unlike their textbookish knowledge and mechanical methods, she is very natural in communicating some of the most complex psychological aspects to laymen like me. She won't ever give a biased opinion/ answer- neither affirm nor oppose my views and actions- and that's what I really like about her. I am still a WIP but I have come so far in my journey towards self-empowerment in these two years, thanks to Dr. Kavita!

Well to start off with I had no idea for 2 months that i had major anxiety problems, since my symptoms were quite weird. i had a constant pain in my chest, felt very nausea-tic, would throw up at times, had tremors all over my body at night, my vision was hazy, was getting jerkzss at night, would feels chills all over my body and could hardly sleep for 4 hours at night. I went to every doctor possible the Cardiologist the ENT specialist, Gastroenterologist, as every cramp over my chest over my heart was increasing my anxiety and i had no idea it was anxiety.

I have been visiting Dr. Kavita for the last 4 years. I had been to around 5-6 therapists before I was referred to her by a friend and for the first time in forever it felt like a psychiatrist was giving me some concrete information to work with as opposed to telling me that 'oh it's okay to be angry' and things like 'maybe you should write about it.' Sure those methods might work for some people but I would much rather have an insight into my thought patterns and have someone equip me with the tools to deal with them. Dr K gives me just that. She's empathetic and yet will never indulge your maladaptive thoughts. She will give you the space and comfort that is required to overcome those thoughts and behaviors. She works with logic and provides reasoning for everything. What I love about therapy with her is that she never got me to take meds unnecessarily. Previous psychiatrists had flung meds in my direction without even speaking to me properly. She, on the other hand, has been patient with me and has always listened to my needs and requirements. Through out my therapy with her, she has always come to the conclusion that my predicament did not warrant medication. I have improved drastically in how I process things. I still have my low days but because of her I know I'll get over them. I have always recommended her to my friends, who have benefitted from her as well.

Short story: consulting with Dr. Kavita for over 6 years dealing with major depression, self harm, anxiety, panic attacks. She has been exceptional in her therapy and medication. My search for a cure with her became my accidental journey to finding fulfillment in life - which is something I couldn't absolutely fathom.
