Dr. Adhishri is one of the best couples therapist out there. Me and my husband have tried out other therapists over a period of time, but after starting our work with Dr. Adhishri we have really found a remarkable difference in our communication styles and our intimacy. She is very respectful as well and sets the goals for the sessions from the get go and defines the boundaries for each session which makes it easier for us to stay on the topic of discussion and come up with solutions which can truly work. Unlike other therapists out there I also really feel that she is truly very objective and doesn't take sides which I have often found out previous therapists to be doing.

Adhishri has been my therapist to help with my OCD since past year and a half. My symptoms had been so troubling that I couldn't bring myself to even work and I was very depressed and anxious and angry all the time. During our sessions I could really start using techniques and feel more in control and now I am symptom free since last year. I am forever grateful to her.

Adhishri Ma’am is truly wonderful. She is extremely kind, patient, and polite, which makes it very easy to feel comfortable during sessions. Her calm and understanding approach makes every session engaging, insightful, and genuinely enjoyable. Even in a short span of time, she has helped me a lot in understanding myself better and managing my thoughts more positively. She listens without judgment, offers thoughtful guidance, and creates a very safe and supportive space. I’m really grateful for her support and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a compassionate and skilled therapist.

Adhishri has been my therapist for more than 4 years and she has been amazing. I was struggling with depression and anxiety for a long time and her help was the number 1 reason why I was able to get better. I have seen other therapists and Adhishri is the best there is! She is very professional, very knowledgeable and amazing at connecting with me, helping and directing me in different ways I have needed through time. So grateful for her!

"When a part of the brain is missing - A strange case from Psychiatry"

"When a part of the brain is missing - A strange case from Psychiatry"

Privileged to have worked on the case report presentation titled "When a part of the brain is missing - A strange case from Psychiatry", guiding the incredibly talented Haya Ghassan to present a patient's Neuropsychiatric symptoms following left anterior temporal lobectomy due to recalcitrant seizures with another incidental finding of left frontoparietal chronic subdural hygroma. The first ever case I have seen in my 12 years of Psychiatry experience to have a combination of Mixed affective symptoms due to post surgical causation, OCD and delusional disorder. It was a nice sunny afternoon today on 3-7-25, attending the 4th DHA Medical Internship academic day organised by the HMS group at Grand Mercure Hotel in Dubai City. My sincerest acknowledgements to Canadian Specialist Hospital without which we could not have done this, and the referral of this patient to me by the phenomenal Neurologist Dr. Sasikumar Kallivalappil. I also want to mention the amazing contribution to this presentation done by the supremely talented Clinical psychologist Adhishri Yadav for confirming the findings of my initial diagnosis by doing the Y-BOCS and BPRS psychometric assessments. It was nice to be back to academics after such a long time, a much needed CME break from practicing clinical Psychiatry. This 1 in a million case report will appear in a journal soon! #Neuropsychiatry #Dubai #Internshipday #Casereport #Linkedinmedicine #clinicalpsychology #Neurology | 11 comments on LinkedIn
