‘‘My journey with Emoneeds started a year ago, and as I recall the past, I feel extremely grateful to the Emoneeds team. I remember when I started my first session with my psychologist (Amit), I had a different world going on in my head. I was into delusions and had started believing all that was imaginary. In such a situation, I had received such support and sessions from Amit that I really felt that I was heard well and that now I have someone who hears me without judging me.
With doctor consultation and regular counseling, I felt I was in safe hands, and it proved to be true within a month when my delusions had drastically reduced and I was more aware of my real world. During this critical transition time, Amit shared techniques and strategies to improve my condition, and I followed every word he said.
Nevertheless, the daily supervision by a very polite counseling psychologist (Manisha) made me feel that I was not going through all this alone, I had a friend to share all my thoughts and concerns with, and she would note my progress and concerns every day.
I needed a friend who would know about my condition and talk to me without judging my situation or pitying me. I found that friend in Manisha. I thank her for her patience with me. When I was doubting the whole world in my initial phase, I easily developed trust in her. Manisha has also taken therapy sessions where we have worked on my anxiety, and following her strategies was helpful.
Besides, I also loved the doctors I was assigned to. They did treat me like I was already fine, and that motivated me a lot. Emoneeds indeed addressed my emotional and medical needs on time. A heartfelt thank you to all of them.’’

‘’I embarked on my journey with Emoneeds in February, during a time when I felt profoundly lowand hopeless. Through their unwavering support, I was able to gain a deeper understanding of my mental state and gradually find my way back to a place of happiness and well-being.
My therapy sessions with Dr. Manisha were particularly transformative. Her empathetic and attentive approach allowed me to express myself freely, even when I found myself repeating thesame concerns. I felt comfortable sharing my deepest insecurities with her, which was a significant step in my healing process.
Choosing therapy was one of the best decisions I’ve made, and I am truly grateful for thecompassionate care provided by Emoneeds.’’

“I used to feel terrified to even step out of my house. The thought of going to crowded places, like a mall or even a nearby grocery store, would make my heart race, my hands shake, and I’d feel like I couldn’t breathe. For years, I was avoiding so many things just to stay safe at home. It was frustrating and exhausting, but I couldn’t control it. Then, I decided to get help and started therapy with Ms. Juli and Ms. Komal at Emoneeds.
During our sessions, they helped me understand what was happening to me and why. They explained how my anxiety was working and that it didn’t have to control my life. They guided me through exercises that slowly exposed me to situations I was avoiding. At first, it was scary, but they were always there, supporting me and helping me push through. I learned how to calm myself with breathing exercises and grounding techniques. I also learned to challenge the anxious thoughts that would pop into my head and make everything feel so intense.
Over the three months, I went from not being able to step outside to actually going to the mall on my own for short visits. It’s still a work in progress, but I feel like a new person now. I have confidence that I can go out without having a panic attack. I’m finally able to meet friends, shop for groceries, and enjoy life outside my home. Therapy with Ms. Juli and Ms. Komal has made such a difference, and I’m grateful to them and Emoneeds for giving me back my freedom.”

“Four months ago, as I was looking for someone to help me with my anxiety problems, I learned about emoneeds. After contacting them, I was accepted into the NVF program and met Nidhi Anand, a clinical psychologist.
A year ago, I had a serious accident that injured my legs and required bed rest, which caused me to struggle with my thoughts and worry. During that time, I began to realize what I was doing with my life because I had been addicted to substances for the previous five years, using drugs and alcohol. There was a time when I was drunk on substances most of the days. I left my job; I sold most of my mother’s jewellery to buy drugs. When I met with the accident, I started to feel withdrawal symptoms, but doctors helped me. My symptoms were better, but negative thoughts started coming, from which I used to think everyone was thinking badly about me, my parents were not talking to me, and I was not good enough. Through my sessions, I learnt how to tackle my thoughts, how to deal with anxiety, and how to regain my life.”

With simple exercises like breathing and grounding technique, I felt so much relief. We worked on my overall idea about myself, and she helped me with my marriage issues as well, which was also causing anxiety in me.
Today, I feel so much better with my anxiety; I know how to deal with my thoughts, and the frequency of the thoughts has become so much less.”

“I started noticing that something wasn’t right. It wasn’t just occasional sadness; it was a lingering sense of hopelessness, fatigue, and disinterest in things that once brought me joy. Simple tasks felt overwhelming, and I struggled with sleep and focus. I kept brushing it off, hoping it would pass—but it didn’t.
After months of silently struggling, I finally decided to seek help. It wasn’t easy; admitting I needed support felt like a personal failure. But deep down, I knew I couldn’t handle it alone. During my first session with Prerna, a kind and patient psychologist, I shared my symptoms, family history, and past events that might have shaped my mental state.
She explained that depression is a mental health condition, not a personal failing, which made me feel less alone.
Following the diagnosis, she recommended a treatment plan involving therapy and medication. I was prescribed antidepressants to help balance the chemicals in my brain and scheduled regular therapy sessions to address the emotional and psychological aspects of my depression. Although seeking help felt daunting, it was the first step toward reclaiming a part of myself I thought I’d lost.’’

Knowing that my depression is mild and seeing my growing ability to manage it has given me a renewed sense of hope and control over my life.

“Two months ago, I was in a pretty dark place. I was dealing with depression and anxiety, and my job felt like it was just making everything worse. I couldn’t focus at work, felt constantly stressed, and struggled to adjust to changes in my role. I didn’t feel like I could talk to anyone about it, so I kept everything bottled up, which only made things heavier for me. Then I found Ms. Komal at Emoneeds. In just eight weeks, she helped me work through a lot of what I was struggling with.
She taught me simple techniques to manage my anxiety, like deep breathing and breaking tasks into small steps. These might sound simple, but they made a big difference in my day-to-day life. For my depression, she encouraged me to set small goals for myself and reminded me to celebrate the little wins, which helped me slowly feel more motivated. At work, she helped me with tips on how to adjust better and manage my stress without feeling overwhelmed.
Through her sessions, I started noticing a big difference. I feel lighter, less anxious, and much more capable of handling work stress. I’m even able to communicate better with my colleagues and find joy in the little things again. I’m not saying everything is perfect, but thanks to Ms. Komal’s guidance, I now have the tools to keep improving and managing my mental health better. I’m so grateful to have worked with her, and I feel hopeful about the future.”

Her advice on recognizing and communicating my needs has been transformative, helping me establish a healthier dynamic in my relationship. Additionally, I now feel more confident in navigating difficult conversations and ensuring my voice is heard without causing unnecessary tension.

I have been living with bipolar disorder for over 15 years, and while I have been undergoing treatment with medication, my symptoms have become more complex and frequent as I’ve gotten older. It has been a challenging journey, but for the past 18 months, I have been in constant consultation and under the guidance of Dr. Amit at Emoneeds. The progress I’ve made during this time has been transformative.
When I first started with Dr. Amit, I was attending four video sessions per month, and I was struggling significantly with managing my thoughts, worries, fears, and emotions. However, with Dr. Amit’s unwavering support, I’ve traveled a long distance toward better mental health. This guidance has profoundly changed the way I approach my condition, helping me develop strategies to cope more effectively.
As I’ve grown stronger internally, we’ve reduced our sessions to two per month, and I’m now on a lesser dosage of medication. Despite the reduced frequency of our meetings, I feel more empowered to handle my day-to-day challenges independently. I know Dr. Amit is always there to listen and support me whenever needed, and for that, I am deeply grateful. Their help has been a beacon of hope in my ongoing journey with bipolar disorder.

“Thank you Emoneeds team for the wonderful work that they are doing. I took sessions with Dr. Neena and found the sessions very useful with respect to understanding the intricacies of Cognitive Behavioral therapy and applying the tools to address stress and anxiety.
Thank you, Dr Neena, for being friendly, compassionate and patient in our interaction and suggesting practical and logical tools for daily practice. I found the policy of using 4 sessions in a month to be a bit restrictive. Ideally, it should be valid for a much longer span of time at the client’s discretion.”

“I approached my health concerns about headaches and shoulder pain, while managing other aspects of my well-being and being aware of my mood swings. I am a retired person, currently staying at home.
Earlier I was diagnosed with Bipolar Disorder and it was very difficult for me to understand my mood, but now I am maintaining it very well. By regularly practicing relaxation techniques and incorporating a few basic exercises,I began to follow a structured routine.
I am now feeling significantly better, and I owe a heartfelt thank you to Emoneeds and Shweta Ma’am for their generosity, attentive listening, and proper guidance throughout this journey. Their support has been invaluable in helping me achieve this improvement in my physical and mental health.”

“I started noticing that something wasn’t right. It wasn’t just occasional sadness; it was a lingering sense of hopelessness, fatigue, and disinterest in things that once brought me joy. Simple tasks felt overwhelming, and I struggled with sleep and focus. I kept brushing it off, hoping it would pass—but it didn’t.
After months of silently struggling, I finally decided to seek help. It wasn’t easy; admitting I needed support felt like a personal failure. But deep down, I knew I couldn’t handle it alone.
During my first session with Prernna, a kind and patient psychologist, I shared my symptoms, family history, and past events that might have shaped my mental state. She explained that depression is a mental health condition, not a personal failing, which made me feel less alone.
Following the diagnosis, she recommended a treatment plan involving therapy and medication. I was prescribed antidepressants to help balance the chemicals in my brain and scheduled regular therapy sessions to address the emotional and psychological aspects of my depression. Although seeking help felt daunting, it was the first step toward reclaiming a part of myself I thought I’d lost.”

“I want to express my deepest gratitude to Emoneeds, my therapist Dr. Neena, and ShristI. I’ve been suffering from anxiety and panic attacks since school. Half of my life went by relying on medications, and I never thought of consulting a counselor or psychiatrist.
Even after marriage, I continued to experience panic attacks and reached a point where I felt like giving up. One day, while searching on Google, I came across Emoneeds. That’s when everything started changing.
They taught me how to balance life, control my mind, and turn negative thoughts into positive ones. I am still on my healing journey, but the years of fear are finally fading. I no longer experience panic attacks, and I feel a sense of relief and hope.
Everyone at Emoneeds has been incredibly supportive, and Dr. Neena is the best therapist I could have asked for. I’m thankful to God and everyone who has helped me. Let’s promise never to take our mental health lightly—because only a mentally healthy person can truly be happy.”

“A few months ago, I felt like I was drowning. Forgetfulness, stress and worry took over my thoughts, and sleepless nights left me exhausted. My career felt like an uphill battle, my personal relationships seemed fragile, and I was having constant throbbing headaches. I didn’t recognize the person I was becoming. That’s when I found Ms. Komal at Emoneeds. From our first session, she made me feel heard and understood. She introduced me to techniques that helped me break the overwhelming cycle of stress and anxiety. With her guidance, I began using practical tools to manage my thoughts, improve my focus, and regain my confidence.
Her approach was holistic—we worked on improving my sleep, managing my headaches, and creating realistic goals. Slowly, I began to notice changes. My memory improved, I felt lighter and more in control, and those relentless headaches became a rare occurrence.
Today, I’m in a much better place. I’ve learned how to handle stress, set boundaries, and take care of myself. Ms. Komal didn’t just help me recover; she empowered me to rediscover myself. I’m grateful for this journey and proud of the progress I’ve made with her support.”
