Anusree Menon ^(she/her)🏳️‍🌈

19. November, 2024.

The experience with center for Mental health has been amazing. Thank you to Anusree Menon for the sessions. I was not sure of what to expect or how to start talking in front of anyone let alone a therapist and it has been such a smooth conversation since the beginning. It took me a long time to get mentally ready and reach out to her and she has helped me understand myself much better. The way she has helped me open up about things without it feeling heavy or challenging speaks to her skills as a therapist. I am grateful for all the guidance and the sessions. View Google Review

Therapeutic Approach

Anusree is a Trauma-focussed, Narrative therapist with a Queer Affirmative lens.

She works with individuals coping with trauma and abuse and it’s effects, dealing with life stressors, strained interpersonal relationships, work-related stress, clinical depression, anxiety and overthinking, self-harming tendencies, poor self-esteem, building a sense of self, family discord, bullying behaviour and various other concerns. She believes in an inclusive world and that everyone irrespective of gender, sex, sexuality, ability, social standing can share space and that its our responsibility to make space for those around us.
