About Me
Greetings, I am Amita Risbud, Registered Social Worker (MSW), Psychotherapist at Mind Garden Therapy.
As an experienced therapist who has supported clients with trauma, anxiety, depression, and grief, as well as adult ADHD, I believe in empowering my clients using a strengths-focused and goal-oriented approach.
My practice is grounded in a strength-based, anti-oppressive, and trauma-informed approach, which is infused with warmth, empathy, and tranquillity. I offer culturally diverse and language-specific services in English, Hindi, Marathi, and Urdu (spoken) while integrating principles of CBT, DBT, EFT, ACT, IFS, SFBT, and mindfulness in my practice.
