Mphil, Clinical Psychology
A BIT ABOUT ME
I’m Akshita Kaushik, an RCI-licensed Clinical Psychologist with an M.Phil in Clinical Psychology and psychoanalytic training as a Fellow at the Washington Baltimore Centre for Psychoanalysis. I also practice as a Psychoanalytic Couple Therapist, drawing from psychodynamic, trauma-focused and relational frameworks. Over the years, I’ve worked across hospitals and clinical settings, supporting individuals and couples as they navigate identity, relationships, trauma, and the longing for deeper emotional safety.
WHAT DOES “WORKING WITH ME” FEEL LIKE?
Working with me is like walking through the different rooms of your mind with someone gently holding a lantern. It’s slow, curious, attuned work, a balance between being held and being understood, insight and warmth, depth and lightness.
WHAT MIGHT A FIRST SESSION LOOK LIKE?
Our first session is about finding your rhythm. We will explore what you’re needing, hoping, or longing for, and answer any questions about the therapy process. It’s gentle, structured, and at your pace, no pressure to tell everything at once.
WHO MIGHT I BE A GOOD FIT FOR?
A good fit for: Individuals and couples (ages 20–40) navigating relationships, identity, trauma, or a longing for deeper self-understanding.
Not the best fit for: Individuals below 20 or above 40, those needing purely solution-focused therapy, or crisis management.
