About Ms. Shweta Mahajan

I am a Clinical Psychologist deeply passionate about understanding the complexities of the human mind. My journey is grounded in research and a commitment to using evidence based practices to drive meaningful change. I believe in the power of storytelling – whether in therapeutic settings or thourgh my writing – to connect, heal and inspire. I am experienced in assessments, diagnosis and creating personalized treatment plans with a commitment to continuous learning and mental health advocacy for marginalized communities.

Beyond Psychology, I am a performer and advocate for arts, bridging the gap between creativity and psychological well being. As a lifelong learner, I am dedicated to continuous growth, exploring new ideas and sharing knowledge to foster mental resilience in diverse communities. I aim to become a value-driven professional with a queer – affirmative foundation, grounded in ethics, an eclectic approach and research driven practice. I work with and for social and community settings, striving to build accessible mental health systems that cater to everyone blending empathy, evidence, and advocacy to build a world where mental health is a right, not a privilege. With a commitment to national security, I aim to contribute psychological insight toward resilience, well-being, and the protection of human potential in service of a safer, more equitable society.
