Therapy Discovery Day!

Therapy Discovery Day!

Take out a Sunday to prioritize your mental wellbeing!

The Therapy Fair is an event where you can learn what therapy is and how it works. You don’t need to know anything about therapy before coming. This is a space where you can ask questions, talk to trained professionals, and explore different kinds of therapy in a relaxed, friendly setting.

Who is this for?

• Anyone who is curious about therapy.

• People who are thinking about starting therapy but don’t know where to begin.

• Friends or family members who want to support someone going to therapy.

• Anyone who wants to understand how therapy can help.

What will happen at the event?

There will be different therapy stations, each showing a type of therapy. A trained mental health professional will be at each stall. You can walk around, read simple information, and talk to the professionals to understand:

• What is this therapy about

• What usually happens during a session

• How it might helpful to someone

Why is this being held:

• To help you find the right fit: There are many types of therapy. Some might feel more comfortable or useful to you than others. This fair helps you explore what suits you best.

• To support caregivers and friends: If you’re helping someone with mental health needs, this fair can help you understand what they might be going through.

• To show that there’s no one “right” way to get help: Therapy can look very different depending on the person and the method. That’s normal, and this fair helps you see those differences clearly.
  

Meet the professionals and what they'll share:

• Mitali Pawaskar (Psychometric Assessments): Psychological tests are tools used to assess a person's thoughts, feelings, and behaviours to better understand their strengths, challenges, and personality

• Jai Thade (Humanistic Therapy): Humanistic therapy helps people understand themselves, find their own path, and grow as individuals, focusing on their unique experiences and personal growth.

• Utkarsha Jagga (Narrative Psychotherapy): Narrative therapy helps people rewrite their personal stories, exploring new meanings and perspectives to shape a more empowering life story. 

• Anahita Bhandari: Helping people understand what therapy-related words and phrases actually mean.

• Ipsita Chatterjee (Couple & Family Therapy): Couple and family therapy helps loved ones communicate better, resolve conflicts, and strengthen relationships by understanding each other's perspectives.

• Labanya Ghosh (Play Therapy): Play therapy uses play and creative activities to help children express and process their emotions, thoughts, and experiences in a safe and supportive environment.

This fair is not for therapy sessions, it’s simply a space to learn. You can come, listen, ask, and leave with a better understanding of how therapy works and what might feel right for you or someone you care about.
