The Edge

You're in great hands! Your supervisors and instructors bring a wealth of experience to this course. They hold PhDs, M.Phils, and Master's degrees from some of the most prestigious universities around the world and in India. With backgrounds in universities, hospitals, program development at organizational and community levels, and extensive work with diverse individuals, they've supervised therapists like you who have become experts in the field.

Together they bring perspectives from diverse sets of therapeutic orientations including CBT, DBT, ACT, Narrative, TA, MBCT and so much more. And of course, it's a given that they're trauma-informed, queer-affirmative and culturally sensitive. So don't hold back and hit them with your toughest questions- they've got you covered. They are all a part of Kaha's leadership team (we've only got the best lined up for you). They've been there, done that, see the gaps that exist and are well-equipped to guide you through all of it.
