About Nuvia Therapy
Complete care, wherever you are
Living abroad brings freedom and opportunity — but also distance from the people and context who understand you best. Nuvia Therapy brings decades of clinical depth to a space built specifically for the NRI experience: homesickness, identity, family expectations, and the everyday weight of building a life far from home.
33 years of clinical depth
Evidence-based methods — CBT, ERP, ACT — adapted to who you are, not a script.
Care that fits your time zone
Flexible scheduling built around wherever in the world you're calling from.
Culturally attuned, always
No need to explain Indian family dynamics from scratch — that context is already understood.
Your privacy is never negotiable
Strict confidentiality, always. What's shared in session stays in session.
"Distance from home doesn't have to mean distance from understanding. My work is to meet you exactly where you are — geographically and emotionally."
— Dr. Rakhi Anand, PhD, Consultant Clinical Psychologist
What I Treat
You don't have to explain it perfectly. I already understand.
A general practice with particular depth in four clinical areas — built around individual, one-on-one work.
Anxiety Disorders
Generalized anxiety, panic disorder, social anxiety, and phobias — often heightened by distance from home and family.
CBT · Exposure-based techniques · Relaxation training
Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder
Structured, evidence-based treatment for intrusive thoughts and compulsions, paced to feel manageable, not overwhelming.
ERP · CBT for OCD · Mindfulness-based strategies
Major Depressive Disorder
Support for persistent low mood, loss of motivation, and hopelessness — working toward small, sustainable shifts.
Life transitions, identity, self-esteem, grief — the ordinary difficulties of building a life far from home.
Person-centered · Solution-focused approaches
Please note: this practice does not currently offer treatment for substance use. If that's what you're looking for, reach out anyway — I'm happy to help point you toward the right referral.

Questions
Got questions?
Here are answers to what NRI clients ask most often.
Is online therapy as effective as in-person sessions? +
Research consistently shows that online therapy achieves outcomes comparable to in-person care for most concerns, including anxiety, depression, OCD, and trauma-related work.
How do you handle time zone differences? +
Sessions are scheduled around your local time zone — just note your country/time zone on the appointment form and we'll coordinate a slot that works for both of us.
What do I need for a session? +
A stable internet connection, a private space where you won't be interrupted, and a device with a camera and microphone. Sessions are held over Google Meet — no account or app download is required.
What's the difference between CBT, ERP, and ACT? +
CBT addresses unhelpful thought patterns broadly; ERP is a specialized form used specifically for OCD; ACT focuses on accepting difficult emotions rather than fighting them. The right approach is selected based on your specific concern.
What if I need to reschedule or cancel? +
48 hours' notice is required to reschedule or cancel a session. A reappointment is not guaranteed for cancellations made with less notice.
Do you accept insurance? +
No insurance is accepted at this time.
Is this a crisis or emergency service? +
No. This practice is not equipped to respond to emergencies in real time. If you are in crisis or in danger, please contact your local emergency services or a crisis helpline immediately — see the footer for resources.
