Changing Minds
Healing Hearts
Therapy rooted in CBT—offered with depth and compassion
Meet Naumita- Therapist. Author. Thought Collaborator.
Hello, I’m Naumita Rishi—a CBT therapist and author who believes that healing begins with clarity, curiosity, and collaboration.
At Cheshtha Counseling, I support adults, parents, teens and pre-teens in understanding their inner world and making lasting change through evidence-based therapy and reflective tools.
Psychotherapy is not about fixing. It’s about understanding.
Untangling the Patterns That Hold You Back
These patterns can show up as anxiety, overthinking, low mood, self-doubt, grief, chronic stress, burnout, or simply feeling stuck and disconnected.
Thoughts can be noisy. Emotions can get tangled. And stress can quietly settle into the body without us even realising.
Using a CBT approach, I will support you in gently untangling the thoughts, emotions, and patterns that may be shaping your experience.
Together, we’ll make sense of what’s happening, shift what no longer helps, and bring more clarity, calm, and choice into your everyday life.
Anxiety
Do you feel like your mind rarely slows down—constantly worrying, second-guessing, or preparing for what might go wrong?
It might show up as restlessness, trouble sleeping, overthinking, or a sense of being on edge.
You might not call it “anxiety”—you’ve just learned to live with it.
In CBT therapy, we gently explore these patterns together. CBT offers practical tools to help you understand what’s happening beneath the surface and how to respond with more calm, clarity, and choice.
Depression
Some days, you might feel heavy without knowing why.
It’s hard to find energy. Harder to feel hopeful.
Things that once felt meaningful may now feel distant or dull.
Depression doesn’t always look like sadness. It often feels like disconnection. From others. From your goals. Sometimes even from yourself.
In therapy, we create space to gently explore what’s underneath the fog.
Using CBT, we’ll uncover the thought and feeling patterns that might be holding you down. and find ways to reconnect with clarity, energy, and a sense of self again.
Grief
Grief doesn’t always follow a timeline.
It can be sharp, quiet, heavy, or invisible.
Sometimes it comes after losing someone. Sometimes after losing a season, a role, or a version of life you hoped for.
You may find yourself pulled between sadness, guilt, numbness, or even anger.
In CBT, we explore the thoughts and beliefs that may be complicating the healing process—so you can honour what you’ve lost while gently rebuilding what still matters.
Stress
Stress builds slowly—then suddenly feels like everything.
You might be holding too many responsibilities, constantly on alert, or feeling like rest is a luxury you can’t afford.
Even “small” stress can take a toll when it never lets up.
In therapy, we untangle the thoughts, expectations, and demands that are keeping your system stuck in overdrive.
Together, we’ll work toward a steadier nervous system, more sustainable boundaries, and a calm that doesn’t feel like a fight.
