Psychodrama

Have you ever said, “one part of me feels this way and another part feels this way?” We have many different parts of ourselves that make up the whole of who we are, and how we present ourselves to the world. I will work with you to identify and work with various “parts” of yourself to help understand internal struggles and congruencies we present ourselves

Drama Therapy involves the practice of embodying different roles in real-time that are therapeutic. For example, if a person dislikes their job and wants to leave, but is fearful to take the next steps, this is an example of two parts of a person that are at odds. My approach depends on the comfort level of my client, but I often use this method by helping people identify these conflicting parts of themselves, and express themselves from those different points of view.

As a drama therapist, I use psychodrama techniques to help you explore and resolve conflicts through role-play and creative expression. Psychodrama allows you to step into different roles and perspectives, offering powerful insights and emotional release. This active, experiential approach helps you gain new understanding of your relationships, emotions, and behaviors, leading to deeper healing and transformation.

I have completed training at Onsite Workships Psychodrama institute.

I have 400+ hours of training in psychodrama from Centerwood Institute, and currently hold the title of Assistant Director of Psychodrama. Psychodrama is an action method in which individuals use spontaneous dramatization, role playing, and dramatic self-presentation to investigate and gain insight into their lives. Psychodrama can be used to explore parts of self, as well as interpersonal relationship dynamics.

Throughout my career continually use and have seen success in psychodrama. Psychodrama is a type of experiential, action-based therapy in which people explore issues by acting out events from their past or current events in their life.

I specialize in drama therapy and psychodrama, intentionally using theatre techniques and theory to explore roles, relationships, healthy dynamics, and life transitions.

Psychodrama often applies roleplay as a tool for exploring traumatic experience or working on challenging situations in a safe and solutions-focused way. I have a Masters in Applied Theatre from the City University of New York and employ many other theatrical interventions for group and individual therapy. Techniques I often use are: - image theatre - improvisation - forum theatre - theatre games

I have completed psychodrama training hours both in the Indian and U.S contexts.

I have extensive training in Psychodrama. Let's get up on our feet as we process our emotional and bodily responses!

I have have enhanced my work with a number of individual and group drama techniques, especially Forum Theater, in which participants get to generate and try out their own solutions to challenges in a safe setting, before attempting change in the rest of life.

Working under a supervisor, I provide safe and professional therapy. In my practice, I follow both the Code of Ethics of the institute of Psychodrama and Statement of Ethical Principles for the European Association of Psychotherapy. I always strive to further my abilities as a therapist and psychiatrist, making it my professional duty to attend international workshops regularly.

Role playing can be used in so many ways. It can help us take ourselves out of our own mind and think about things from a different perspective and challenge our current way of thinking.
