Switching her career from banking to psychology, Garima founded a mental therapy and counseling services center.

Garima Juneja is a Psychologist and founder of “Lightroom Therapy & Counseling Services”. She has been working in this field for the past seven years. Before getting into this field, she was working as a banker after getting her MBA.

Garima says she was going through a difficult phase after having her first child, and only then she decided  to join the field of psychology. She took a master's degree in it and decided to become a full-fledged psychologist. According to Garima, she chose the name "Lightroom" for her therapy and counseling services center as a metaphor for bringing light into her patients' lives after she helps her clients come out of their dark times.

Describing her childhood, Garima says she was born in Chandigarh, but because of her father’s transferable job, her family moved to different places in Punjab. She says she had a very good childhood, and her parents were very supportive. Her parents gave her and her siblings complete freedom and direction.

Speaking about her professional journey, Garima says that she was working with some NGOs when she got the opportunity to work with underprivileged children who had immense psychological issues due to their parents being alcoholics and abusive. She gained a lot of confidence while counseling these kids, and it was a great experience.

Talking about her mistakes, Garima says that in the early days of her professional career, interrupting or criticizing her clients while counseling them was her biggest mistake.

Garima advises those who want to pursue careers in psychology, to do so by first becoming aware of their own personalities rather than just being fascinated by the subject. She says that a good psychologist needs a lot of patience; you have to understand, show empathy to the patient, and diagnose his problem.

When asked about her role models, Garima says that she considers her late mother as her role model. She has learned a lot from her. She learns from almost everyone who comes into her life. She also considers famous psychologists like Viktor E. Frankl and their books as her inspiration.

Garima has only one mantra: What has gone is gone; what is happening now and what will happen tomorrow is important.

In her free time, Garima likes to do fun activities like Zumba and meditation. She likes to read books, and she likes to learn something new every day, which makes her happy.

Garima advises people to love themselves, strive to evolve, and not place too much value on external validation.
