Hello! I am Vartika
your story matters
At Unfiltered Self, as the name suggests, I believe in accepting all stories of people and giving them a space to explore themselves without judgment. My role is to guide you in your growth with empathy, and you can expect to be heard, accepted and supported.​
For me, it's always the life that is messy and chaotic and not the person coming for therapy - they are just figuring out how to row their boat in the river of life.​
Concerns I work with
Relationship Issues
Anxiety and Overthinking
Depression
Self
Awareness
Self-esteem Issues
And a lot more...

The students will be required to mention the specific concerns to be addressed in brief before the session.

Client testimonials
It takes courage to reach out to a psychologist for help and that's exactly what she said while replying to a query. This encouragement is valuable! I truly felt heard and supported while talking to her.

She is incredibly helpful and takes the time to walk you through each step of the process. Her strategies are effective in helping you understand and manage your feelings. She has been empowering me with valuable skills.
- H.J. (22)
Vartika could understand how I truly felt, she could pick up on my thought process and understand my perspective on things quickly. She also prompted me to think deeper which in turn helped me understand myself.
- T.R. (24)
The first session really felt comfortable and was able to open up easily. Vartika was very professional (in a good way) in her approach. I thought it was very easy to talk to her about my feelings and thoughts.
- V.K. (24)
Loved that she is such a good listener and was able to deduce my problems and the underlying fears. Her patience and way of understanding was also helpful for me along with her knowledge of various things.
