Shobhika Jaju: Psychologist

At Silver Linings, we firmly believe that Mental Health is more than just the absence of mental illness. Physical health and mental health are two sides of the same coin.

Being healthy refers to a state of well being in which every individual realizes their own potential, can cope with the normal stresses of life and can contribute to society constructively. Just like physical illnesses hamper the process of leading a fully optimal life, any form of mental upset can also prohibit us from leading a well-balanced life.

Psychotherapy and/or Counselling is meant for all those who want to enhance the quality of their life and move from their current state of functioning to a well balanced and optimal stage of functioning. Conditions such as anxiety, depression, thoughts of suicide, relationship issues, issues with academics or friends, and others, are just a manifestation of the imbalances in life and can be easily addressed through effective counselling by trained professionals. In Goa, a lot is happening in the field of mental health and as inhabitants of this beautiful state, we are truly blessed at that front. However, most of the work in mental health in Goa is centred in North Goa.

Over the years, Shobha through her exposure in the mind care field has noticed that there is a dearth of quality mental health care in South Goa. People of various age groups; whether they are students, housewives or even businessmen, have to travel for a couple of hours at times, to seek effective psychotherapy. Silver Linings has been started keeping in view the lack of good quality counselling services in South Goa. We aim to bring effective counselling strategies to benefit adults and children alike, not only in Margo but also in all nearby areas. Silver Linings, Goa, offer varied services including psychometric assessment, psychotherapy, play therapy, remedial education, and workshops, etc.,
