Nandita Esswari

Greetings to the hiring team, my name is AR Nandita Esswari, and I am a postgraduate in psychology who is genuinely interested in building a meaningful and ethical career in mental health care. I am applying to Mantracare because I strongly resonate with your mission of making mental healthcare accessible, stigma-free, and client-centered across India. As a fresher, I am very aware that therapy is a skill that develops through training, supervision, and reflective practice. I have a solid academic foundation in psychology and theoretical exposure to approaches such as CBT, DBT, and Solution-Focused Brief Therapy. While I am still developing my clinical confidence, I approach this phase with curiosity, humility, and a strong commitment to learning. I am particularly interested in working with concerns such as stress, anger, emotional regulation, relationship and sexual-health-related concerns, and general adjustment issues. I believe in practicing strictly within ethical boundaries — seeking supervision when needed, being open to feedback, and making referrals whenever a case is beyond my current scope. I see this as an environment where learning is encouraged and quality care is prioritized — which is extremely important to me as a developing practitioner. In terms of future goals, I am keen on formal training and certification in evidence-based therapies such as CBT and DBT, as well as continuous skill development in assessment, case formulation, and online therapy best practices. I also hope to gain deeper experience working with diverse populations and gradually build competence in handling more complex presentations under guidance. I am comfortable with virtual therapy settings and strive to offer clients a safe, empathetic, and non-judgmental space. I may be early in my journey, but I bring sincerity, ethical awareness, and a strong willingness to grow. I would be grateful for the opportunity to learn and contribute as part of the Mantracare team.
