Women’s Mental Health

“Your hormones are not the problem. The silence around them is.”

We hold space for your emotions — not just your symptoms.

What is Brhdhi Vidya?

Brhdhi Vidya was founded by Dr. Lakshmi T K as a result of her extensive research and practice for more than 20 years of studying and experiencing various Indian psychological sources that remained obscure to Indian literature.

Brhdhi Vidya – the Indian psychotherapy (BV-IP) is a time-tested psychotherapeutic approach given by ancient Indian thinkers, This approach is widely used in the ancient Vedic and pre vedic civilizations for a healthy and harmonious integration of the sense organs, emotions, intellect, and thereby of the regulation of the mind.

Brhdhi vidya comes from the root words Brh + Dhi + Vidya. Brh in Sanskrit is the root word for brahman, meaning ‘to grow’ or ‘to expand’. Dhi is the root word for buddhi meaning ‘mental vision’. And vidya means ‘knowledge’. Hence Brhdhi Vidya means knowledge to expand the mental vision.

Why a Culturally Rooted Psychotherapy Matters

  • Therapy that recognises culture, identity, and lived experience

  • Works with emotional patterns shaped by our upbringing and values

  • Moves beyond coping to deep emotional healing

  • Helps unlearn conditioning that creates inner conflict

  • Healing that feels authentic, grounded, and sustainable

  • “Because therapy works best when it understands where you come from.”
