Lavanya Mathiyazagan
@lavanyamathiyazagan
Compassionate clinical psychologist specializing in assessment, therapy, and school counseling.
What I'm looking for
I am a dedicated M.Sc. Clinical Psychology graduate with hands-on experience across hospitals, research centers, and educational institutions. I provide individualized therapeutic interventions and combine evidence-based techniques with yoga and mindfulness to support mental well-being.
In clinical and internship roles I conducted behavioral assessments, administered psychometric and neuropsychological tests, and assisted advanced researchers with complex case formulations. I document therapeutic progress and produce clinical notes to inform ongoing care.
I have worked as a psychologist serving students with diverse disabilities, offered short-term and crisis counseling in university wellness programs, and supported families and clients with severe mental illness in community settings. I also facilitate psychoeducational workshops and therapeutic activities such as art and play therapies.
I am committed to integrating mindfulness, CBT, and supportive psychotherapy into practical interventions, and I seek opportunities to apply my assessment, intervention, and communication skills to improve client outcomes and contribute to multidisciplinary teams.
