I've been visiting Dr. Roma Kumar for almost 15 years for various reasons. Apart from feeling completely healed myself, I have sent so many others to be treated by her. Her personal care and interest in solving my problems is rare for a doctor. And being from another city, there are so many counseling sessions we have had over phone. She has walked the extra mile to make sure it matters to her. Thank you for all your support. I highly recommend her.

I've struggled with a lot of anxiety and depression in my day and with every visit with Dr. Roma I feel a lot better and more uplifted. What's crucial about her and the branch of psychology that she practices is that she gives you the tools to be able to cope and deal with the problems yourself - she is not there to make your own decisions for you, but to show that you can make these decisions for yourself. More importantly, she shows that you make them well. She's immensely attentive - there can be a story I told her weeks ago that she remembers today. There's never any disconnect. I've been to therapists before but I've never felt safer than I do with her. She also gives the impression that she actually cares for you, a rarity in today's world.
We have been visiting Dr. Roma for more than 20 years for a family member. I and My family didn't have much understanding of Mental Health issues which made whole situation very challenging for us. Dr. Roma not only helped with treatment but also guided my family to understand and cope with the situation. She builds a personal connect with impacted family which provides healing touch. Over past 20 years, her support has been invaluable for which we cannot thank her enough. I would highly recommend her.
