Manassa Shrikanth

Manassa is a mental health writer and partnerships lead at TYHO. She has written more than 50 articles for TYHO since 2025.

Manassa is passionate about words, animals, and mental health. Her forte is creative writing and long-form writing, including blogs and newsletters. She writes on relationships, women's wellness, anxiety, and more. Her writing process involves reading peer-reviewed literature and speaking with TYHO Therapists so she can accurately represent the topic at hand.

Where a topic is more nuanced than it first appears, she says so, rather than presenting one source as the full picture. She writes for people who may be looking for support for the first time, so she keeps the language simple and avoids clinical jargon. She also takes care not to imply a diagnosis from everyday experiences. Every article she writes is reviewed by a clinical psychologist before it is published.

A typical day will find her deep in the writer’s cave, with a cup of warm tea and a comforting read by her side.
