Dr. Sarika began her career as a clinical psychologist at the Ranchi Institute of Neuro-psychiatry and Allied Sciences in Ranchi, Jharkhand. She received formal training in treating organic mental and behavioural disorders across different age groups, which culminated in a Ph.D. where she examined the efficacy of a self-developed paradigm of cognitive behaviour therapy for individuals with obsessive, but not clinically compulsive, behaviours. In addition to her work in clinical psychology, Dr. Sarika has also gained valuable experience in the fields of defence and education. Her diverse experience across multiple domains has provided her with a well-rounded perspective in her work.
