About Me

Hi, I’m Muskan Tahalramani, a counseling psychologist with over 4 years of experience. At my private practice, The Therapy Couch, I work with teenagers and adults navigating emotional and psychological challenges with warmth and care. I believe healing isn’t about fixing what’s broken, but about reconnecting with the parts of ourselves we’ve lost touch with. My approach is grounded in empathy, self-awareness, and the belief that therapy should meet you exactly where you are.

My path into psychology began early, shaped by my mother’s mental health journey and a deep curiosity about how people grow through what they go through. This curiosity, supported by a reflective and spiritual upbringing, evolved into a clear vision: to understand human behavior deeply and create safe, informed spaces for healing. Over the years, I’ve worked as a junior psychologist, school counselor, and volunteer during the pandemic—experiences that deepened my understanding of trauma, connection, and growth.

Mental health is personal to me. Growing up alongside my mother’s Bipolar Disorder showed me how deeply it affects individuals and families—and how healing in one person can ripple outward. My commitment to this work is also rooted in my own growth, supported by therapy, spiritual practices, and a strong support system. Being a psychologist isn’t just my profession—it’s a way of life, grounded in service, reflection, and the quiet power of holding space for others to heal.

My Journey

My Approach

On my own spiritual journey, I’ve come to see therapy as more than just a tool for healing—it’s a holistic process that honors the interconnectedness of mind, body, emotions, and behavior. In our work together, we explore how these layers interact and shape your experience of the world, aiming to foster inner alignment that supports healthier relationships, greater ease at work, and a deeper sense of balance.

My approach integrates evidence-based and experiential modalities like Gestalt, Internal Family Systems (IFS), Emotion-Focused Therapy (EFT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), and Somatic practices—woven into a humanistic, trauma-informed framework. I meet you with empathy and respect for your lived experience. Therapy isn’t about fixing you; it’s a collaborative space where you reconnect with your inner resources, examine what’s holding you back, and build patterns that reflect your authentic self.

I also recognize that mental health doesn't exist in isolation. Together, we explore how systemic influences, social conditioning, and cultural norms impact your sense of agency—especially if you don’t fit into society’s neat boxes. My practice is a space to challenge those narratives, embrace your full identity, and be supported without judgment or pressure to conform.
