We are a team of humans united by a common care and empathy for people in pain. It is not easy to live a human life. Each day millions of people wake up and shoulder the humongous burden of uncertainty, doubt and painful emotions attributable to psychological, physical, social, personal, work, financial and other reasons. They need help and often reach professionals. We believe people are in greatest need for supportive conversations during such times.
Saarathi recognizes that people in pain often reach professionals. This meeting is a potent space for positive change to occur. With faith in the healing power of therapeutic conversations, Saarathi’s goal is to help professionals master the leading of insight inspiring conversations with clients and patients in their roles as therapists, doctors and coaches – to meet people where they are and help them achieve acceptance, clarity and direction. Saarathi puts kindness and care above all other things.
and for those we love; the freedom to make our lives as we will;
our ultimate aloneness; and, finally, the absence of any obvious meaning or sense to life.” -Irvin Yalom
We empanel professionals based on their alignment with Saarathi’s values, train them on helping skills and support them as they help people in pain find peace. We leverage technology for all of these so that anyone struggling with the burden of unresolved pains can have access to high quality, cost-effective online and in-person therapeutic conversations with Doctors, Therapists and Coaches which can be accessed from anywhere, anytime. Saarathi also aims to be a place of work for people primarily seeking meaning through work.

Benefits of Therapy
Psychotherapy is a general term for treating mental health problems by talking with a psychiatrist, psychologist or other mental health providers.
During psychotherapy, you learn about your condition and your moods, feelings, thoughts and behaviors. Psychotherapy helps you learn how to take control of your life and respond to challenging situations with healthy coping skills.
Life Coaching
Life Coaching is a form of engagement in which an experienced person, called a coach, supports a learner or client in achieving a specific personal or professional goal by providing training and guidance. The learner is sometimes called a coachee. Occasionally, coaching may mean an informal relationship between two people, of whom one has more experience and expertise than the other and offers advice and guidance as the latter learns; but coaching differs from mentoring by focusing on specific tasks or objectives, as opposed to more general goals or overall development.
Benefits of Life Coaching
Life Coaching can help teens, adolescents, adults and couples who are seeking support to find clarity in their lives or in dealing with a specific issue. Some of the benefits of life coaching are that you find clarity and commitment towards your life goals. You are able to choose your path in the face of competing priorities and constraints involving goals and relationships
