Pickles, Lemonade, and Lots of Mumbo Jumbo is a collaborative effort by three mental health professionals—Sanjyot, Shreya, and Rajeshwari—who have come together to create a unique prompt journal designed to encourage self-reflection and exploration.
Sanjyot follows an eclectic therapeutic modality, integrating her training in hypnotherapy, dance movement therapy, and Gestalt practice along with psychotherapy. She often relies on journaling prompts as a cornerstone of her therapeutic work, letting clients do the work of self-discovery. Sanjyot likes to call herself a “lazy therapist” because she believes the most profound healing happens when clients find their own answers. Her background as an actor and dancer gives her a unique perspective on movement, expression, and the human experience, which deeply informs her approach to dance movement therapy and the creative processes she incorporates into sessions and prompts. It was from her passion for open-ended questions and creative self-discovery that the idea for this prompt journal first took shape.
Shreya: That kind of a therapist who will offer you a space where thoughts once tangled finds a patient listener who delicately teases them apart, not imposing meaning, but helping you find your own. Imagine a therapist who feels less like a doctor and more like your supportive, non-judgy friend. That’s how Shreya would relate. She understands that life can be messy, and she's all about making you feel safe and comfortable, no matter what you’ve been through.
A clinical psychologist with a Trauma informed approach, her practice revolves around the philosophy of “ No size fits all” She believes that therapy is a collaborative process where both the client and the therapist draw insights from one another and carve out their unique healing journeys. Her non-linear style of therapy inspired her to be a part of curating this prompt journal, because hey, Healing happens in all directions.
Rajeshwari takes a flexible and personalized approach to therapy, tailoring her methods to suit each client’s unique needs. She draws from a client-centered approach, Behavioral Therapy, and Humanistic principles, while also incorporating her expertise in graphology - to gain deeper insights into personality.
As someone who enjoys quiet moments, Rajeshwari has always found comfort in journaling - a practice she embraces in her own life and brings into her therapy sessions, believing it helps clients develop a deeper sense of self. For her, real change often unfolds in those quiet, reflective spaces.
Inspired by her love for journaling, she helped curate this journal, hoping it would serve as a friendly companion for anyone looking to reflect, grow, and explore their thoughts at their own pace.
