What Our Clients Say

I was diagnosed with PTSD in 2021 after a series of traumatic incidents I faced. Suddenly I lost the desire to seek help. I approached almost 4 people for therapy and instead of helping me they made me feel guilty for my past & inability to move on. I had no hopes and I wasn't expecting any help when I contacted Tending Minds. But everything changed when I met Purva Kadaganchi Ma'am and she took my case very seriously and showed me compassion like no one else. Even at times I had given up on therapy, she reached out herself with so much care & compassion that I started seeing hope.

I didn't know anything about C-PTSD and she's been helping me a lot & now I'm doing better. Suicidal thoughts were a challenge and because of her help I am able to manage them.

The whole staff of Tending Minds is very gentle & caring. I will always be thankful to all the therapists who have such a gentle approach towards struggling people.

Working with Ms. Purva Kadaganchi has been one of the most important experiences of my life. From the beginning, she created a space that felt safe and honest—a place where I could bring my whole self, even the parts I used to hide or fight against. What sets her apart is her ability to shift how I see my struggles. Instead of viewing my challenges as obstacles to conquer or escape, she helped me see them as a part of my story—something to learn from, to integrate, and even to grow alongside. Doris Lessing calls learning an experience where “you suddenly understand something you've understood all your life, but in a new way”. She helped me ignite all my “new ways”. Ms. Purva's approach is never about quick fixes or surface-level advice; it's about deep, lasting transformation. She asks the questions that matter, offer the reflections that resonate, and, most importantly, she never rush the process. Through her guidance, I've learned not just to accept my problem but to find meaning in it, and even strength. I leave every session feeling a little more equipped, a little more hopeful, and a lot more at peace. I can't imagine where I'd be without her insight, patience, and unwavering support. I'm endlessly grateful for the partnership we've built and the growth it's made possible.

Over the last few years I have visited many psychologists with my same emotional issues. Every single time I used to come to the same dead end and I used to discontinue my sessions. But, something changed since I started my sessions with Purva Kadaganchi ma'am. She motivated me to continue my therapy. Purva ma'am comes from a very strong educational background and you surely experience it while sitting in front of her. She's not only extremely professional and insightful but she also has a vision to find out the exact nerve which is causing pain. Purva ma'am definitely makes you feel comfortable and you will never get the feeling of being judged while talking to her. Definitely one of the best psychologists in town!

Life was a struggle with OCD for the last 8 yrs. After a number of false starts with therapists & doctors, I found Ms. Purva Kadaganchi to address issues relating to anxiety and stress.

Ms. Purva really helped me to understand clearly and articulate the origins of a deeply embedded style of negative perceptions, which proved helpful in then working on developing strategies to counter them.

She is patient and compassionate while being proactive and challenging when she needs to be. I found this combination of empathy and robust testing of my negative perceptions immensely helpful. The whole process resulted in feeling better and being 80% OCD free, as of now, for the first time in my life. It feels great.

On one not so good day of mine, when I was feeling extreme emotional hurt, I came across this quote — "Mental health well being is a journey and not a destination". This quote made me think about psychology and therapy. I had my own prejudices and beliefs before I started therapy.

And I am glad that I met Purva Kadaganchi who has helped me persevere consistently in my mental health journey.

I have made good enough progress since I started therapy. I have been able to exercise regularly, practice mindfulness, developed a new habit of reading books, and have worked on improving my relationships with significant others. I am able to look forward into the future with promising long term intents. Thank you Purva!
