With over 9 years of clinical experience and training at India's premier medical institutions, she brings a rare depth of expertise to every consultation.
Her approach combines rigorous clinical assessment with genuine empathy — understanding each patient as a complete person, not just a set of symptoms. Whether treating a child with ADHD, an adult battling depression, or a family navigating a mental health crisis, Dr. Ritika designs treatment that is truly personalised.
Academic & Clinical Background
Dr. Ritika began her medical career at Mahatma Gandhi Medical College, Jaipur, where she earned her MBBS. Driven by a passion for psychiatric medicine, she pursued her MD in Psychiatry at Lady Hardinge Medical College, New Delhi — one of India's most prestigious medical institutions — where she trained extensively in adult clinical psychiatry, mood disorders, anxiety management, and emergency psychiatric care.
Recognising the urgent need for specialised child mental health expertise, she completed an advanced post-doctoral Fellowship in Child and Adolescent Psychiatry at Topiwala National Medical College (TNMC) and BYL Nair Charitable Hospital, Mumbai. This makes her one of the very few fellowship-trained pediatric mental health specialists practicing in Rajasthan.
Patient-First Philosophy
At Blooming Minds, every patient receives a thorough, unhurried diagnostic evaluation. Dr. Ritika examines lifestyle variables, family dynamics, and behavioural patterns before designing a treatment plan. She believes in using medication minimally — deploying pharmacotherapy carefully and only when clinically indicated — alongside supportive counselling and evidence-based therapy.
"Mental health treatment must be precise, compassionate, and deeply personalised. At Blooming Minds, our goal is to create a safe, supportive space where adults and children can receive the highest level of care and confidently regain control of their lives."
