Liva Pattnaik
Hello! I'm Liva, a mental health professional with 4+ years of experience supporting diverse age groups. Specializing in emotional wellness, behavioral concerns, and crisis intervention, I offer personalized psychosocial support. My practice integrates CBT, NLP, Gestalt, and Music Therapy alongside life skills training, aiming to create a compassionate, empowering space that fosters lasting resilience, self-awareness, and holistic personal growth.

Beyond my practice, I find peace walking in nature, reading about human behavior, watching movies, and spending time with friends. Daily meditation and chanting keep me centered. Therapy with me is a reflection of this grounded lifestyle: a calm, supportive, and compassionate space dedicated to helping you understand your emotions, process thoughts, and feel deeply empowered.
