VENKATESH

I am a Behavioral Psychologist with an MSc in Psychology and over 6 years of experience in counseling, emotional support, and mental health advocacy. As an RCI Licensed Special Educator (Intellectual Disabilities), I specialize in inclusive and individualized care for diverse needs. Currently with Voice That Cares (Heartfulness), I provide counseling interventions, emotional support, and manage call assessments & escalations. Since 2019, I have contributed to helplines, NGO initiatives, and clinical internships—supporting individuals through challenges, including extensive volunteer work during COVID-19 for organizations like RSS Seva Bharati, KCVT, LLL Foundation, Barefoot Group, and Vandervala Foundation. My expertise blends evidence-based approaches—CBT, art therapy, play therapy, mindfulness, yoga, and sound healing—with strong skills in developmental & behavioral psychology. Being multilingual in 8 languages (English, Hindi, Kannada, Tamil, Telugu, Malayalam, Gujarati, Sanskrit) allows me to connect with clients from varied cultural backgrounds. I hold certifications in Forensic Psychology, Career Guidance, Therapeutic Arts, Yoga Teaching, and Alternative Healing, reflecting my belief in continuous learning and holistic care. Passionate about fostering resilience and well-being through empathy, creativity, and cultural sensitivity, I am seeking opportunities to collaborate with organizations that value inclusive growth and mental health accessibility. 📧 venkatblr74@gmail.com | 📞 +91 7411770473
