Presence
The Story
Behind ARTMA
ARTMA is a reflection of my own unfolding journey with over 20 years of experience. From geophysicist, to artist, to psychotherapist, to educator, to mentor and beyond.
What began as a psychotherapy private practice has emerged into a broader exploration of human growth and development. Each chapter has shaped the philosophy behind ARTMA that is now an eco-system that explores presence. It recognizes that presence is woven into the fabric of growth, development and change.
The word ARTMA captures the power of creativity in presence. It’s derived from ATMA, an ancient sanskrit word meaning authentic Self or our true essence.
Work With Me

Welcome. My name is Anand and I’m the founder of ARTMA.
Working with me is an exploration of a pathway toward cultivating authentic presence. Whether that pathway is through psychotherapy, executive leadership development, artwork or community, presence is at the heart of the work.
Research supports what I have also come to understand through my own journey across multiple fields. That greater embodied presence can shape how we navigate decisions and complexity, how we relate to ourselves and others, and how we grow, develop and lead.
