Voices

Reflections from alumni of our earlier cohorts.

The intention behind the program, the cohort size, the space to absorb, and the caring teachers — it genuinely felt like the IIT of psychotherapists. I came in unsure and left grounded.

A truly transformational journey. The training surfaced the nuances of real-time client distress that no textbook captures. Astha Ahluwalia is a dedicated, knowledgeable, and accessible trainer and supervisor.

All modules were taught in a detailed, practical, and easy-to-understand manner. The DBT teaching was engaging and full of practical learning. The best part was the pro-bono sessions with supervision — that's where confidence really comes from.

I so wish I could enroll for the program earlier — it was all paisa vasool. I can never get tired of hearing and revisiting the sessions. I hope to become an amazing therapist Astha ma'am is someday.
