Our Belief
At Pause for Perspective, we believe everyone deserves spaces where they can be themselves, be held, validated, and accepted for who they are.
Embracing Support
Psychological counseling and psychotherapy provide opportunities to find ourselves and heal from difficult journeys. Reaching out is an act of courage, self-care, and a desire to live more fully.
Services Offered
Our counselors offer space and presence for the unfolding of human experience. We provide:
- One-on-one counseling and psychotherapy
- Group counseling
- Family and couples counseling
- Counseling for children
- Community Support
These services are available at Pause for Perspective in Kundan Bagh, Begumpet, Hyderabad, and online via Google Meet/Zoom . We also collaborate with various institutions and organizations nationwide.
Therapeutic Approach
Our approach combines multiple counseling and therapy modalities:
- Mindfulness-Based Approaches
- Narrative-Informed Therapy
- Cognitive Behavioral Therapy
- Existential Therapy
- Solution-Focused Brief Therapy
- Client-Centered Therapy
- Psychodynamic Psychotherapy
These modalities are grounded in deconstructing dominant discourses and working within social justice models that consider intersectionalities and their impact on mental health.
Commitment to Social Justice
We proudly affirm neurodiversity and place Mad Studies at the core of our understanding. We are grateful for the Narrative Practices perspective and the Embodied Social Justice approach that shape our work. We listen to lived experiences and interpret lives and bodies as platforms for liberation, protest, and resistance.
Impact of Oppression on Mental Health
In today’s world, casteism, patriarchy, cis heteronormativity, ableism, neuronormativity, and Islamophobia impact mental health. Our mission is to foster communities of care and solidarity, guided by the belief that “Nobody’s free until everybody’s free.” This commitment is central to our work at Pause.
Continuous Learning
We recognize our stance and vision with humility and openness to learn. As Adrienne Marie Brown states in “Emergent Strategy,” we believe, “We will not wait to be perfect, because we believe the time is now and we would rather be held accountable for our mistakes than forgiven our inaction.”
