Hello! I'm Chaitanya Muppala, a psychologist, software professional (product manager), and the founder of Samatva, a clinic dedicated to fostering mental well-being. My passion for understanding the human mind extends across multiple disciplines – I hold degrees in Computer Science, Psychology, and Law. As a full-time employee at Microsoft, I explore the cutting edge of technology, while my free time is dedicated to supporting individuals and families on their journeys toward emotional well-being as a practicing psychologist.

My current research explores the intersection of AI, psychology, and design thinking, seeking to develop tools that empower mental health. This dedication to innovation inspired me to create "Akshagna's Mindful Adventures" – a book series designed to spark meaningful conversations about feelings, promote self-awareness, and empower children with the skills they need to thrive.

I believe in the transformative potential of combining creativity, science, and real-world experience to support mental health. My goal is to make a positive impact on the lives of children and families through my clinic, my writing, and my advocacy for early emotional support. I'm excited to share Akshagna's stories with the world and inspire a generation of children to embrace their emotions and grow into their strongest, most resilient selves.
