Our Atmosphere

We believe that healing flourishes in a space of warmth and safety. Our therapy sessions provide an emotional space built on openness, authenticity and non-judgment.
We aim to create a supportive environment where you can explore your thoughts and feelings freely, fostering genuine connections and meaningful growth.

Our Approaches

At our practice, we use a systemic approach to therapy. This means we don’t just focus on individual challenges but look at how different aspects of your life—such as your relationships, family, work and social connections—are all interconnected and influence your well-being.
We believe that no one exists in isolation. The way we interact with others and the patterns we develop in these interactions can shape how we feel, think and behave. By understanding these patterns together, we can identify what’s causing difficulties and make meaningful changes, not just for you, but also for the relationships and environments that matter most to you.
This approach helps uncover the bigger picture of your experiences, making it easier to understand what’s holding you back and to build healthier relationships and a more fulfilling life.

Testimonials

Dr. Manjula is a dependable professional. The sessions with her reflect her knowledge and experience. This is not to say that she follows a set pattern, instead, she is very aware of the client's needs. I have been to several therapists and Dr. Manjula was the first ever therapist I felt so comfortable with. She has a judgement-free approach and is very solution-oriented in a way that she helps you find solutions or address the issues you're facing on your own.

I had a feeling sometimes three people were not given equal opportunity to talk and process. I would have preferred some tooling or exercises like nvc or dtr for us to take with us and continue healing. Overall the intro and conversations were valuable for our family.

She has professionally helped me deal with problems that I had in the past. She was extremely helpful in helping me find solutions to various problems I have faced. Through the excellent help from my therapist, it is now possible for me to have a different and healthier approach to various situations. I would like to thank her for this excellent help and support that she has given me.

My internship with CFRT was an invaluable experience. It provided meaningful insights into couples and family therapy practices and offered a supportive environment for professional growth. My mentor, Dr. Manjula Madam’s guidance made this an enriching opportunity. Thank you, CFRT, for the valuable experience.
