I had an idea that I had anxiety and depression, but bipolar was definitely news to me. Dr. Kakul broke it to me very well, and helped me understand it’s manageable. At the same time, she did not give me any false hope and was quite candid with me.
My sessions with her have been very fruitful as she breaks down everything, lets me talk and vent, and also provides solutions that are practical and easy.
She also, time and again, mentions a balanced diet, a little exercise and some sun goes a long way!
I was totally clueless when I had my first panic attack and thought I was dying. Dr. Kakul shared sone grounding skills (in the form of PDFs as well), so the next time I had the attack, I didn’t let the discomfort overpower me so much.
I’d been to about 5-6 psychologists before her, but my sessions with her were the most comforting, comfortable, and fruitful.
Kakul has been my therapist for the last 4 months. I'm really happy to say that my experience has been so positive. Kakul is very empathetic and professional at the same time.
