Arthy Jayavel Psychologist

My family and friends have had many virtual consultations with Dr Arthy over the years. She is the clinical psychologist we recommend. Note that she is not a consultant psychologist or a psychiatrist, but a clinical psychologist. It was quite hard to find a professional psychologist like her in Chennai. Most doctors are highly inexperienced when it comes to practical matters, and treat patients abnormally. Arthy J is different. She genuinely tries to make the patients' lives better. But is also honest about what she cannot help with. She regularly checks up on her patients long after regular consultations are stopped. Regarding chitra tilak's 1 star review below, I want to let everyone know that Dr. Arthy has only been doing online consultations for the past 2 years, as she has gone abroad. So, not sure which doctor the reviewer and others waited for in the hospital last year. And Dr. Arthy actually turns down a lot of patients because her schedule is full. She always takes only appointments. That too, 1 hr appointments. Yes, she will not take new patients based on priority when she already has a full schedule, is that not normal these days? Yes, therapy in general is pretty expensive and rare to find in Chennai. And she charges proportional to her diverse experience. She doesn't try to cheat patients out of their money, or prolong the number of sessions, she only has a standard fees for her time. She reduces it for some people as well, but don't plan for it.

Initially we reached Arthy for a diagnosis for my son who has mild autism. She helped us to understand what is autism and how to handle kids without pressuring the kid. By following her advice and doing simple activity as per her instructions I can see a lot of changes in my son behaviour. He can do his daily activity by himself without any help. Social communication also improved. He is 8 now. Still I get in touch with her through online consultation . She guide us very well without any false hope. I would recommend her to all.

Starting therapy with Arthy was one of the best steps I took towards taking care of my mental health. She is highly professional, holds work ethic and moreover she was always available for me whenever I needed help. I was skeptical about taking therapy since it could go either way, fortunately I selected a very good therapist. If you're looking for a therapist, you should definitely consider going to her.

I consulted Arthy.She was friendly and interacted with me for sufficient time. Usually psychiatrist don't interact much. They ask you few questions and directly prescribe medicine. Whereas, Arthy was kind enough to get my consent about taking medication. I told her that i need more counselling, and not willing to take medicines. She accepted without any hesitation. Also she suggested mindfulness techniques for me to practise it daily. After that, i attended Vipassana 10 days course. When i was getting better, i did not consult her properly. Still, she used to call me and ask how i am feeling. Also, she said to visit for consultation. I understood the importance of consultation and got back to her. Thanks to Arthy.

Arthy is a very good psychologist with a practical approach to solving the problems I have had as her patient. I felt very comfortable narrating my problems and issues and she actually comes with easy feasible doable changes which cause incredible changes in managing stress. She also acknowledges that the patient takes time to understand and change and doesn't force the change but ensures it happens. You are in good hands if you are under her care. Thanks.
