## About

I’m Sakshi Kakkar, a counselor and social worker with over 9 years of experience in the field of social work\. Over the years, I have worked closely with people from diverse backgrounds — encountering different mindsets, emotional states, belief systems, and life philosophies\. Through this journey, one common pattern stood out to me: many people are constantly running to fulfil unmet desires, expectations, or responsibilities, and somewhere along the way, they lose their inner peace\. In this race, anxiety quietly builds — around decisions, relationships, and even one’s own identity\. I have witnessed this not only in others, but also through lived human experiences that deepened my understanding of emotional struggles\. These experiences motivated me to move towards counselling — to become a support for those who feel unheard, overwhelmed, or emotionally burdened\. I believe everyone deserves a space where they can be themselves freely, without pressure, judgment, or fear\. Through Rise & Thrive Counseling, my intention is to offer that safe, calm space — for individuals who are in need of being heard, understood, and supported as they reconnect with themselves\.
