Dr. Ishina Choudhary is the Founder of ‘Insight Alchemy’, a Counselling Psychologist, a Cognitive Behavioral Therapist and most importantly, a human who has gone through self-doubt, depression and emerged as an achiever with acceptance, like us all. She went from wanting to become an Air Force Pilot to MBA (Human Resources) to being a psychologist. It was a roller coaster ride for her, both professionally and emotionally.
There was a point in her life where she lost it all. She has applied for and attended hundreds of interviews but all she faced was rejection. Even the strongest bodies wear off and the strongest minds give in, sometimes. She too gave in to self-doubt and started doubting that she probably isn’t capable of much, that she’s not cut out for greater things and that she’s not going to get higher things.
One Day, she happened to listen to a song whose lyrics translated to “Whenever there is a mess, there is a message” and “Sometimes, when things are falling apart, they may actually be falling into place”. Those lines embedded themselves deep into her mind. She believed it to be a kind of signal that the Universe is trying to communicate. Sometimes, when you seek things, they are granted in an uncertain way, we just have to just keep slight presence of mind and keep on putting efforts.
Dr. Ishina Choudhary started reading books on Psychology, Spirituality etc. which helped her cope up with her depressing thoughts and was moving towards the light. She realized that her journey has helped her get out of depression and then decided that she would serve the society with the knowledge gained in the process. She embarked on a journey to help people overcome their fears, anxiety, depression etc. and help them live a life they want to. She has worked with Indian as well as International Clients.
She believes and preaches that CBT (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy) is the most effective tool for addressing the common psychological difficulties encountered in life. Her role as a Cognitive Behavioral Therapist involves a deep exploration and diagnosis of the root causes of issues, aligning, managing and directing clients’ day-to-day thoughts for enhanced effectiveness and productivity.
She guides her clients towards transformative change by equipping them with long-term coping strategies and tools to break free from detrimental behavioral patterns. She wanted to establish a dedicated centre for treating people with compassion, which led her to founding ‘Insight Alchemy’, a venture focused on helping individuals struggling with mental well-being. Her work has earned her recognition on national news channels, in print media, and on various digital platforms.
