Utkarsh Srivastava — Recruiter
I am a Counseling Psychologist with over five years of experience in mental health care, specializing in psychotherapy, student counseling, and psychological intervention. I hold an M.A. in Psychology and a Postgraduate Diploma in Counseling, Guidance, and Psychological Intervention from Banaras Hindu University, a premier institution known for academic excellence in the behavioral sciences. Currently, I serve as a practicing psychologist at The Psychologists and as a Counseling Psychologist under the Directorate of Education, Government of NCT of Delhi. My work involves providing therapeutic and counseling services to adolescents, young adults, parents, and educators, addressing a range of concerns including academic stress, anxiety, depression, emotional regulation, trauma, relationship issues, and career uncertainty. My approach is integrative and evidence-based, drawing from cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), person-centered therapy, mindfulness practices, and strength-based frameworks. I strive to create a safe, empathetic, and non-judgmental space where individuals can explore their inner experiences, build resilience, and develop healthier coping mechanisms. I am particularly passionate about working with students and youth populations, helping them navigate the complex intersection of identity, education, emotion, and future planning. In addition to clinical practice, I actively engage in mental health advocacy and psychoeducation. I have conducted workshops on emotional well-being, career readiness, stress management, and life skills in both school and community settings. I also work closely with teachers and school leaders to promote socio-emotional learning (SEL) and build psychologically safe environments for students. As a lifelong learner, I am committed to ongoing professional development and continuously update my knowledge to remain aligned with the latest advancements in psychological research and therapeutic techniques. My work is rooted in the belief that psychological well-being is essential to personal growth and societal progress, and I take great pride in contributing meaningfully to this endeavor.
