About Anamika
Starting therapy can feel like a big step. You’re welcome here.
Anamika Rawlani is a clinical psychologist and the founder of Rooh Mind Care. She completed her M.Phil in Clinical Psychology at the Ranchi Institute of Neuro-Psychiatry and Allied Sciences (RINPAS) in 2014, at one of India’s most prestigious mental health institutes, founded in 1925, and worked as a Research Officer on an Indian Council of Medical Research (ICMR) project at NIMHANS, Bengaluru. ICMR is a Government of India medical research body; NIMHANS is India’s leading mental health institute, often called the AIIMS of mental health, and an Institute of National Importance by Act of Parliament. During her training she assessed and treated more than 500 patients at RINPAS and the All India Institute of Speech and Hearing (AIISH), Mysuru, India’s premier institute for speech and hearing, under the Government of India’s Ministry of Health.
She works with adolescents, young adults and adults who are trying to make sense of their experiences. Many of her clients come with concerns related to overthinking, career, self-doubt, bullying, feelings of inferiority, personality patterns, emotional difficulties, social isolation, shame, burnout, dating, trust issues, relationships, marriage, family dynamics and past experiences that continue to affect them.
Her work focuses on helping clients understand their attachment patterns, relationships and the challenges that come with adolescence and adulthood. She explores how past and present experiences shape one’s sense of self, relationships and ways of being in the world.
She also works with women dealing with body image concerns, low self-esteem, past trauma, anxiety and depression. She supports clients in learning how to set boundaries and feel more stable and secure in their relationships. In addition, she works with parents, women in the postpartum phase and working women managing multiple roles and responsibilities.
Her approach
Therapy is not about advice or someone else making decisions for you. It is a space where we work together to understand what is going on and find ways to move forward.
Anamika’s approach is humanistic and reflective, integrating CBT, MBT and trauma-informed care with a psychodynamic framework. The aim is a safe, culturally sensitive space that supports insight, stability and meaningful change.
