Meet Our Team
Ambika Srikrishnan
Senior Psychologist and Director
“Experiencing emotions deeply, navigating through my own emotional turmoils and finding a lot of empathy around me amiss, I found my anchor while diving into the world of mental health. In an attempt to understand the ever so dynamic play of emotions, ‘I hope to play a small part of the change I wish to see’
Priyanka Srikrikrishnan
Certified Movement Therapy Facilitator, Classical Dancer and Founder
Expressing through dance and realizing that Movement is not just to tell a story but also to find one of your own added a lot of meaning to my craft. According to me “Movement/Dance is the most powerful & non-invasive medium of catharsis. Expressing through dance always resonated strongly with me and I feel fortunate to be able to pursue it. I’m associated with Movement in a way that can bring about a Movement within oneself; primarily through Kwintessentials
Akila Srikrishnan
Visual Artist, Interior Designer and Co-Founder
While most gravitate towards a conventional medium of expression, my muse always remained with colors and paints even as a child.
I used them as a creative tool to express myself. I would draw my dreams and paint my own patterns of thought and weave stories of local folklore. I can quite honestly say that my passion has made my life colorful and I hope to add color to the lives of people around me through Kwintessentials
Frequently asked questions
Who needs therapy?
Everyone! We all grow up with vulnerabilities and parts of ourselves that we struggle with. Talking to a professional to understand your emotional health better is something everyone can benefit from. It’s about time we look at therapy as emotional hygiene.
Answer this with our question – “Can physical fitness be only for people who need to lose weight?”
Is something wrong with me if I go to a therapist?
Absolutely not! We can always learn better and healthier ways to process certain aspects of our lives and a Psychologist uses evidence based theoretical approaches to work around your emotions.
What exactly is Mental Health?
Mental Health is a part of our overall health which includes our emotions, thoughts, behaviors and the way we perceive ourselves along with people around us
What is the role of arts in Mental Health and Healing?
Sometimes, we may find it difficult to talk about our emotions and truly express ourselves because it may get overwhelming; arts then, help us to navigate through our emotions and express freely
Do I need to have any background in arts to use any techniques?
This is different from your regular art classes in school! Here we allow freedom, exploration and in fact love to have you draw/move/sing/ talk freely! This would be a safe space, with no pre-requisite or expertise required in any artform!
