Dr. Raghavendra Kumar K

I had a really great experience interning at Mana Mandira. I got the chance to work closely with a multidisciplinary team including a psychiatrist, clinical psychologists, speech therapists, and occupational therapists which gave me a well-rounded exposure to the field. Dr. Raghavendra, the psychiatrist, is incredibly knowledgeable and insightful. He has a great deal of experience in working with children, and it really shows in the way he interacts with them. He was also a very good mentor; under his guidance, I was able to apply what I had learnt in theory to real-life situations, which made my learning experience so much more meaningful. The entire team at Mana Mandira is friendly and approachable. I appreciate how they were open to answering questions, explaining things, and helping me learn and never once made me feel awkward for not knowing something. They were very encouraging and supportive. Overall, it was a truly enriching internship, and I’m really grateful for the opportunity and the learning I received at Mana Mandira.

My internship experience at Mana Mandira Healthcare was truly enriching. I had the opportunity to learn a great deal and gain valuable insights into the mental health field. It was particularly interesting to observe the distinct roles and approaches of clinical psychologists and psychiatrists in a real-world setting. I would like to extend my heartfelt thanks to Ms. Pooja Lakshmi, Clinical Psychologist, for her patient guidance throughout the internship. She was always open to answering my many questions, and her support made a big difference in my learning experience. I’m also grateful to Dr. Raghavendra Kumar, Psychiatrist, for providing me with this opportunity and allowing me to observe sessions with a wide range of clients, which added depth to my understanding. That said, I believe the experience could be further enhanced for future interns through more structured communication. At times, I wasn’t entirely sure which cases I could take up for my case studies, and clearer direction would have been helpful. Introducing regular case conferences or briefings could be a valuable addition — they would not only provide more clarity but also open up space for collaborative learning and discussion. Overall, I’m thankful for the exposure and knowledge I gained at Mana Mandira, and I look forward to building on this foundation in my future studies and career.

I had the privilege of completing my psychology internship under Dr. Raghavendra Kumar K, a renowned Child and Adolescent Psychiatrist trained at NIMHANS, and the experience was nothing short of transformative. Dr. Raghavendra is not only deeply knowledgeable and insightful, but also incredibly patient and approachable as a mentor. Throughout my time at Manamandira, I was exposed to a wide range of cases involving neurodevelopmental, emotional, and behavioral issues in children and adolescents. His holistic, empathetic, and evidence-based approach to treatment taught me more than any textbook ever could. What truly stood out was the learning environment—supportive, intellectually stimulating, and grounded in real-world clinical application. I was encouraged to ask questions, reflect on observations, and actively participate in case discussions. I gained a deeper understanding of child development, diagnosis, therapeutic planning, and family psychoeducation. This internship not only enhanced my clinical skills but also reaffirmed my passion for working in child and adolescent mental health. I feel grateful to have learned under such a compassionate and skilled professional. Highly recommend Manamandira to aspiring psychologists and mental health professionals seeking meaningful learning in a nurturing environment.

The supportive environment and well-organized schedule made this internship highly rewarding and inspiring for my career in psychology
