Welcome

Healing One Soul at a Time

Our jar holds everything—joy, pain, guilt, love, shame, and more. These emotions shape how we think, speak, feel, and live. That’s why at EmoJar, we focus on nurturing the positive and gently releasing the heavy—so your emotional jar can feel lighter, fuller, and more balanced each day.

Guilt, shame, hurt and a multitude of all the twenty seven emotions, will eventually decide our course of life and decision making. How we react, how we talk, how we feel and eventually how we lead our lives all depend on the jar of emotions we carry every waking moment. It's essential to thus hold on to what is positive and happy and unleash what may fill our jar with worry and distress.

Meet The Team

Dr. Ria Das
Founder, CEO | EmoJar
State President Women's Indian Chamber of Commerce (WICCI - CATWB

A Ph.D. and Gold Medalist in Clinical Psychology, Dr. Ria Das brings over 17 years of experience across therapy, education, training, and mental health advocacy. An alumna of Loreto and the University of Calcutta, her work brings together psychological insight with art, play, storytelling, and experiential approaches—making mental health support more accessible, engaging, and deeply human.

EmotionJar was born from a simple question: What if emotions could be explored before they had to be fixed? Years of working with children, adolescents, parents, and adults highlighted the need for mental health spaces that felt less clinical and more creative, relatable, and approachable.

This vision evolved into Speak It Out – Mind Wellness Studio—a space centred on expression, exploration, and connection, bringing together counselling, creative approaches, psychological assessment, workshops, and mental health education.

Alongside her practice, Dr. Das continues to work as a School Counsellor and High-School Mentor at The Newtown School, Kolkata. She has also worked with leading schools including Ashok Hall and DPS Ruby Park, and has conducted employee wellness programmes for organisations including Flipkart, HPCL, Titan, and Blue Star.

Her mission is simple: to help people feel seen, heard, understood, and empowered to author their own emotional stories.
