About Me
I am Kashish Kataria, the brain and soul behind Understood. Welcome to my private practice!
Working in the mental health space was something I connected with since I was 14, out of curiosity and need. So I chose to align my life with my purpose and passion.
I create spaces where people feel seen, inspired, and UNDERSTOOD, whether through therapy, writing, or community-driven spaces. My work is rooted in connection, authenticity, learning, creativity, integrity, and exploration.
Currently, I am:
- Running my private practice, UNDERSTOOD, with 1200+ sessions of experience, using Gestalt therapy, Relational, and Somatic work to support young adults.
- Building spaces for community, learning, and creativity through workshops, support groups, collaborations, and events.
- Promoting mental health accessibility through campaigns and offline community in Chandigarh
I believe in making an impact through beauty, whether in the way we connect, create, or build something meaningful. If this resonates, let’s connect!
