Home - Pause To Begin

Our Story

Two colleagues and friends, in their adjacent cubicles, begin toying with the idea of starting their own practice, doing things their way. As they work and hang out together, they realise how important it is to have access to ethical mental health professionals. Their chats on the road drive home the idea that integrity and expertise are key to giving folks the best care possible. As days go by, they start organically putting together their dream for what they want to offer. Finally, they decide to go for it and launch “Pause to Begin.”

Testimonials

Making A Difference

My husband and I have been taking couples therapy sessions with Prerna and it has been one of the things that has kept our marriage going. Prerna is a great listener, does not let her personal biases control any of her recommendations and always brings us to tangible action steps. I can safely say that because of these sessions, I understand myself as wife, my marriage and my husband much much better. I know what lies ahead and am able to prepare myself for it emotionally thanks to Prerna. I would highly recommend her for couples therapy

Anu has been a warm and supportive presence in a time of great distress. She guided me towards being in touch with my emotional self, something I hadn’t been for a long time.

This in turn empowered me to tackle difficult challenges on my own. I am glad to have her as my therapist and confidant. Thank you for bringing peace back into my days.

As a queer trans person, it is not always easy to find a therapist who is queer trans affirmative. I’d say I’m lucky to have found Janhavi, as she’s been nothing but understanding and empathetic. It’s been a year now and I can say for sure that she has been an excellent therapist. I can see that I’ve made progress with regards to the goals I had set in the first few sessions. I’m proud of the growth that I’ve had in the last year. And I’m also proud of all the lows as well, cause Janhavi helped me realise that growth is not always linear.

I have learnt a lot about myself in the last year and most importantly, I’ve learnt how I can show up for myself better. Janhavi helped me in this journey and I’m ever so grateful for that.
