Children First ExpertDr Kavita Arora
Reg. No.: DMC-10517
M.B.B.S, MD Psychiatry,
25 years of experience
I offer psychiatric services for individuals up to the age of 25.
I love connecting with children and young people, with their stories of life and the meaning they make of life experiences. I find that working collaboratively with the child as well as the family is enriching and the most effective way in mental healthcare. Beyond clinical work, I am actively involved in supervision and training programs, and public discussions on child and adolescent mental health. I firmly believe that today's young generation is far more insightful, adaptable, and quick to learn than ever before. I am always eager to explore new perspectives, valuing questions more than definitive answers. Outside of my work, I enjoy exploring rhythms and art, travelling, poetry, and—most of all—a good joke!
