About

Hello! I am Srushti Shah, I have completed my Masters in Clinical Psychology from Sir Parashurambhau College, Pune, I have a keen interest in Indian Psychology, Clinical psychology, Counselling and building Interventions based on positive psychology. I am deeply fascinated by the integration of Indian psychology and positive psychology, as they provide frameworks to approach emotional well-being and my experience includes designing interventions, working on empirical studies, and presenting findings in academic settings. My goal is to contribute to creating evidence-based mental health programs that promote mental well-being and resilience. A quote that resonates with me and shapes my work is: 'Every emotion has a purpose; we only discover it by feeling it fully.' I believe in the importance of acknowledging and understanding our emotions rather than avoiding them—as this process fosters healing and growth. Feel free to connect with me if you’re interested in collaborative research, mental health initiatives, or simply sharing insights on psychology
