Introducing Celestina Samanta – A Passionate MPhil Clinical Psychology Trainee

Finding the right mental health professional is essential for effective therapy. Celestina Samanta, an MPhil Clinical Psychology trainee at Amity University, is deeply passionate about understanding the human mind. She blends Psychology, Philosophy, Aesthetics, and Spirituality in her approach to mental health and well-being. Committed to helping individuals navigate life’s challenges with evidence-based interventions, she is also an advocate for breaking the stigma surrounding mental health in India.

A Journey of Dedication and Exploration

Celestina’s therapeutic approach seamlessly integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy (REBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP), Behavior Therapy, Psychodynamic Therapies, Art Therapy, and Existential Therapy.

She believes that true healing goes beyond symptom management—it involves building resilience, fostering self-awareness, and embracing gratitude. While the journey toward well-being can be challenging, she remains steadfast in her belief that transformation is always possible.

Psychological Testing and Assessment

In addition to therapy, Celestina is extensively trained in psychological testing and assessment, providing comprehensive evaluations for a range of mental health concerns. Her expertise includes cognitive assessments, personality testing, neuropsychological assessments, and diagnostic clarification. She has gained valuable clinical experience through training at hospitals and rehabilitation centres in Mumbai, further refining her skills in assessment and intervention.

 The Intersection of Art, Spirituality, and Therapy

Celestina deeply values the role of visual, musical, and movement-based arts in mental well-being. She sees art not just as an expression but as a powerful therapeutic tool that fosters healing and uplifts emotional states. Additionally, she believes that spirituality can offer a sense of grounding, purpose, and inner strength, helping individuals cultivate deeper self-awareness and emotional balance. With a curiosity to explore all dimensions of the human mind and spirit, she aims to integrate creative and spiritual mediums into psychological practice, making therapy both transformative and engaging.
