Bio

Hi, I'm Achakra and I am a trans girl and I study psychology. That doesn't mean that I'm a qualified therapist, although I hope to be someday. What it does mean is that I have a basic understanding of mental health, and do not think that things can be fixed by merely wishing for them to be fixed. I know that I cannot solve all of your problems in one conversation, but what I can try to do is to listen and to understand what you're going through.
I'll include a little bit more about me, but feel free not to read it:

I enjoy playing guitar, but am not very good at it. I've also started trying to learn the drums. Also, I love playing soccer. I'm from India but I go to school in the US. I also try to be an agent for social change as often as I can.

Also, I have a couple things that I wanted to share in terms of resources: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9Az5InKdKV0 < communicating in a crisis situation and https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wZ60mGovDzU < telling people about mental health.
