How Dr. Mukherjee approaches treatment
Dr. Mukherjee draws on both her doctorate in counseling psychology and her background as a software architect to work with patients in a way most therapists cannot replicate. For clients dealing with tech industry burnout, high-functioning anxiety, or the specific pressure patterns of engineering and startup culture, she brings direct fluency in those environments rather than a generalized understanding of workplace stress.
Her sessions integrate CBT, DBT, and solution-focused therapy, selected based on what each patient's situation calls for rather than applied as a default protocol. She also brings particular sensitivity to immigrant family dynamics and cross-cultural identity pressures, and conducts sessions in English, Hindi, or Bengali depending on what the patient is most comfortable with.
Her patients also have access to SavantCare's 1:1 trauma-informed yoga sessions, which she coordinates alongside therapy to support nervous system regulation, particularly for patients working through trauma, PTSD, or chronic stress responses that talk therapy alone addresses slowly.
