Know Your Therapist

I’m Ritika, a licensed psychologist and UNESCO certified expressive arts therapist committed to creating brave spaces where healing happens through creative expression. As both a mental health professional and a mother, I bring a unique blend of clinical expertise and lived experience to my work.

My approach combines traditional psychology with innovative expressive arts-based interventions, offering pathways to healing when words alone aren't enough. Having navigated my own identity shifts through motherhood while balancing professional life, I understand firsthand the challenges many clients face - particularly women struggling to reconnect with themselves amid competing roles and expectations.

My background in social work with projects like Skill India has deepened my understanding of how community and cultural factors shape our wellbeing. This perspective informs my therapy, recognising that healing happens not just within individuals but in connection with the world around us.

In our sessions together, you'll find a warm, non-judgmental space where your experiences are validated and your creative wisdom is honoured. Whether you're processing workplace stress, parenting challenges, or seeking deeper personal growth, I'm here to walk alongside you with compassion, practical tools and a belief in your innate capacity for transformation.

My practice, My Brave Space, reflects my core belief: that healing begins when we feel safe enough to be brave - to express difficult truths, explore painful emotions and imagine new possibilities through creative expression. I welcome you to reach out for a consultation to explore how we might work together on your journey toward greater wellbeing.

Mission

At the heart of my practice is the belief that healing emerges when we access our innate creative wisdom in a safe, brave space. Through expressive arts therapy, I create opportunities for clients to bypass analytical defenses that often block traditional talk therapy, revealing deeper truths about themselves and their experiences.

My mission is to provide a secure foundation from which clients can explore difficult emotions through creative expression, transforming abstract feelings into tangible forms that can be witnessed, understood, and integrated. I view each person as inherently whole, with their own inner resources for growth and healing, and I help them discover their unique creative voice while building upon existing strengths.

Vision

I envision a community where creative expression is recognized as a powerful pathway to mental wellness, personal growth, and authentic living. Through my practice, I aim to make expressive arts therapy accessible to diverse populations in Noida, helping individuals navigate life transitions, process emotions, and discover sustainable resources for ongoing well-being.

My vision extends beyond individual healing to community transformation, where creative approaches to mental health become integrated into schools, workplaces, and healthcare settings, fostering resilience and emotional intelligence across all life stages.
