The Healing Story was created as a space where therapy is thoughtful, collaborative, and deeply respectful of each individual’s lived experience. At the heart of this practice is the belief that healing is not linear, and that every person’s story deserves to be understood in its full emotional, relational, and contextual depth.
My Story
I am Anikha Kumar, a Clinical Psychologist based in Pune, offering therapy to individuals and couples through both in-person and online sessions. I hold a Master’s degree in Clinical Psychology (Third Rank, Jain University), am a certified Clinical Hypnotherapist (Ekaa), and have completed Level 1 Training in the Gottman Method Couples Therapy from The Gottman Institute (USA).
With over 11 years of experience in the mental health field, I have worked with 1,000+ individuals across a wide range of concerns, including anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship difficulties, personality-related challenges, emotional regulation, and life transitions. My work is informed by extensive clinical exposure and a deep respect for the complexity of human experience.
My therapeutic approach is integrative, trauma-informed, and relational. Rather than relying on a single model, I thoughtfully integrate multiple evidence-based approaches, guided by careful assessment and case formulation. Each intervention is chosen with intention and a clear theoretical understanding, allowing therapy to remain both flexible and grounded. I work holistically, attending to the interconnectedness of mind, body, emotions, relationships, attachment patterns, and trauma history.
Clients often describe my presence as calm, attuned, and empathetic. I aim to create a safe, non-judgmental space where individuals and couples feel supported in exploring their experiences, gaining insight, and working toward meaningful and lasting change—at a pace that feels respectful and sustainable.
Alongside The Healing Story, I am also the co-founder of SwasthMind, a mental health platform dedicated to making psychological care more accessible, inclusive, and stigma-free.
Whether you are seeking support for emotional distress, navigating relationship challenges, processing past experiences, or looking for deeper self-understanding and growth, therapy here is centered on empathy, collaboration, and holistic healing.
