My seven year old son needed chemotherapy and was terrified of every procedure. He would scream before every blood draw and we dreaded each hospital visit. Ms Sushma Gopalan at Manipal Hospital Yelahanka changed that completely. She used play therapy and simple storytelling to help him understand what was happening to his body. She taught him coping techniques that actually worked. Within a few weeks he was walking into the procedure room himself. I cried watching that. She gave my son courage when he had none.
My daughter was hospitalised for a long time and became very withdrawn and anxious. Ms Sushma provided consistent emotional support throughout her stay. She used art therapy and helped my daughter express what she was feeling. By the time we went home my daughter was smiling again. Very grateful.
My daughter went through bone marrow transplant and the emotional toll was immense for our entire family. Ms Sushma supported not just my daughter but our whole family through that journey. She helped my daughter cope with isolation and helped us as parents stay strong. Her care went far beyond what we expected.
When my son was seriously ill my younger daughter was struggling with the change in family attention. Ms Sushma recognised this and provided sibling support for my daughter alongside supporting my son. That thoughtfulness meant everything to us.
My autistic son used to have severe meltdowns before any medical procedure. Ms Sushma used play therapy and preparation techniques that helped him understand what to expect. His meltdowns during procedures have reduced significantly. Very skilled and patient specialist.
Ms Sushma has a natural way with children. My son who refuses to open up to anyone was talking freely with her within the first session. Her approach is gentle creative and completely non threatening. Best child psychologist near Yelahanka.
Booked Ms Sushma through HexaHealth for my son's anxiety and bullying concerns at school. Got appointment quickly at Manipal Hospital Yelahanka. She connected with him immediately. Very satisfied.
I had severe postpartum depression after my second delivery and felt completely alone. Ms Sushma provided compassionate therapy and helped me understand that what I was feeling was real and treatable. Her support during those dark months was invaluable. I am so much better now.
Going through IVF is emotionally exhausting. Ms Sushma provided psychological support during our treatment journey. She helped me manage anxiety and grief after a failed cycle. Her warmth and practical guidance made a very difficult experience more bearable.
