Disha Mangsuli-Gehling

I am a trained psychologist with a Masters Degree from Christ University, India. I specialized in clinical psychology and have also studied culture and identity at WWU, Muenster, Germany. I grew up a third-culture kid, having lived in 4 different continents by the time I was 18: England, China, and the USA. Growing up in these cultures and being interconnected with all of them was both a joy and a challenge, but now, as an adult with psychological training, I have learned to see it from a 360 degree angle. I have also lived a large part of my adult life in India and am very invested in my culture. There is an intersectional line between the traditional and the modern Indian, and many Millennial Indians are right on it, easily going between the two based on who they are with. I can help issues that come with both sides of this spectrum. I have personally experienced the challenges of migration, diasporas, first-generation immigrant struggles, and identity issues that come with a ever-moving life. Moreover, as part of a intercultural marriage myself, I have faced and overcome a vast array of issues between couples that have to navigate major integral factors like race, religion, culture, and language.
