Smrithi Priya

Smrithi Lakshmi Narasimhan is a Consultant Psychologist and PhD Scholar specializing in adolescent mental health, with a particular focus on gaming addiction and behavioral interventions. As a therapist, she adopts an integrative and evidence-based approach that blends elements of cognitive-behavioral therapy, mindfulness, and positive psychology. Her practice is rooted in empathy, collaboration, and a deep respect for each client’s unique life story. Smrithi believes that therapy is not merely about resolving distress but about empowering individuals to rediscover their inner strength, develop resilience, and lead more balanced and fulfilling lives. Her sessions are warm, non-judgmental, and reflective, creating a safe environment for clients to explore thoughts, emotions, and behaviors. She works with adolescents, young adults, and parents, offering guidance on issues such as stress, anxiety, self-esteem, emotional regulation, and technology use. With a strong academic foundation and clinical experience, Smrithi bridges the gap between research and practice. Her ongoing doctoral work — focused on developing and validating an integrated intervention module for combating gaming addiction among adolescents — reflects her commitment to promoting psychological well-being in the digital era. Smrithi also engages in training, mental health awareness initiatives, and research dissemination through presentations and publications. Her therapeutic philosophy centers on the belief that lasting change emerges when individuals feel heard, understood, and supported to take charge of their own healing journey.
