We'd love to understand where you are in your practice journey and whether this cohort is the right fit.
NoteThis program does not position participants as therapists. All interactions are guided, supervised, and aligned with ethical boundaries appropriate to each participant's level of training.
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.
I was struggling with the transition from student to practitioner. This space gave me room to learn, explore, practice, and grow — with steady support and encouragement throughout.
