Hi! I am Kritika Premnath Amin, an occupational therapist with over a decade of experience in facilitating children and adolescents towards appropriate social interactions and emotion regulation through behaviour therapy. I have completed my Bachelors and Masters of Occupational therapy (specialized in mental health and psychosocial rehabilitation) from Manipal University. I have a certification in ‘psychological first aid’ from John Hopkins University and research papers on child and adolescent psychiatry.

I firmly believe that these children have a voice, unique needs and are small adults who need to be heard, understood and communicated in their own language.
