Ms Nishigandha Date, MA

Psychologist

“My therapeutic approach is grounded in the Body-Mind connection and the deep interdependence of physical, emotional, and psychological well-being. Drawing from mindfulness, narrative therapy, and a trauma-informed lens, I view each individual as shaped by their past and present environments, family systems, cultural background, and lifestyle. This holistic perspective enables me to offer empathetic and comprehensive care. I use a range of evidence-based interventions tailored to the unique needs of clinical and non-clinical populations. My work integrates psycho-behavioral techniques with a strong emphasis on real-life application, aiming to foster sustainable well-being. I provide support for anxiety, mood & depression, postpartum mental health, adult ADHD and for relationship issues.”

About Me

I’m Nishigandha, a Psychologist with over a decade of experience in the field of mental health. I hold a Master’s degree in Clinical Psychology and I am trained in the Gottman method. I am the founder of Bodh MB and have worked across diverse settings in multiple cities of India. I am a mother and a passionate advocate for maternal mental health, I draw from her own experiences and training to support new moms in overcoming postpartum challenges and find their way back to themselves. I help individuals explore their experiences and work towards personal growth. I'm here to listen, offer support, and help people navigate challenges with newfound clarity.

Approach

When people bring anxiety, attention differences or relationship strain, I look closely at how everyday routines, roles and expectations shape what they feel and do. Working from Bengaluru and frequently traveling to Pune and Gurgaon, I offer sessions in English, Hindi and Marathi, meeting online or face-to-face so practical shifts fit your life. Sessions are collaborative and paced to your needs: we map patterns, try short experiments between meetings, and refine strategies that reduce overwhelm and strengthen connection. Those juggling work, parenting or organisational pressures often find this hands-on, steady way of working useful.
