Therapy that connects your story with your strength.

At Contex & Cortex, we explore the interplay between your life's experiences (context) and your mind's inner workings (cortex) to foster genuine insight and lasting change.

Portrait of Ishita Kwatra

I’m Ishita—a therapist who believes healing begins with being fully seen.

With roots in both clinical research and hands-on practice, I offer therapy that meets you where logic meets emotion. My work is grounded in evidence-based methods like CBT, shaped by each individual’s unique context, and delivered with care and clinical insight.

My practice, Contex & Cortex, reflects a belief that healing begins where your personal story and psychological understanding meet. It's a calm, confidential space to feel seen, understood, and supported.
