Testimonials

After years of suggesting therapy to a lot of friends, I realized I should try my own advice. I never felt my mental health was at the stage where I would burst so I kept waiting till it took over me. On my 30th birthday, I realized that this was the gift that I owed myself, Therapy! I was fortunate enough to come across Diya’s profile on Instagram and the stories she shared gave me only an insight into the great guide and counselor she is. She has been patient with me, and helped me realize that nothing I’m saying or doing makes me difficult, rather I could use it for my benefit and speaking with her has definitely increased my confidence when I never realized that was low. She has been very structured and organized with her approach. Her techniques have helped me feel relaxed and calm. It has been a wonderful journey. I would like to add that please don’t think that her being younger than many of her clients is at her disadvantage. Her experience, EQ and empathy are way beyond her years! I would recommend therapy with Diya to everyone I know as I have!

It is hard to tell someone you are depressed, and it is harder still to tell yourself you need help. I think those two things pretty much describe my struggle with mental health. In India especially as a non-cisgender man, it is very hard to come to accept that there is a point after which you can’t cope on your own and I am lucky to have come across Mindtemple and even luckier to have been accepted as a client of Mr. Thakur. Over the past 4 years with the help of Mr. Thakur I have seen myself through new eyes and gained a deeper understanding of what I have gone through in my early childhood and what impact it continues to have on me as a grown man, and more importantly how to manage those feelings and respond to them in a meaningful effective emotional way. With Mr. Thakur and Dr. Anjali’s help, I have come to a point where I can look back and appreciate my journey till now and what I need to work on in the future to live a more fulfilled emotionally stable life.

I’ve been coming to Mindtemple for close to 5 years now. It was my first time doing therapy and I was understandably nervous about what to expect but Forum came highly recommended through a friend. From the first moment, I felt really comfortable and knew that I was in a safe space. She never made me feel I was just a client and I have been able to really understand and even enjoy the process, knowing there is always a solution. I have also never felt pushed to continue beyond what is necessary, and have been provided tools (and homework!) to cope with real life without constantly feeling the need to go back to therapy unless it’s essential.

I visited mindtemple when I was diagnosed with clinical depression. Dr. Anjali and Chaitali (psychologist) have been a very instrumental part of my life shift in my mental health journey. Their non-judgmental, empathetic, caring approach made me open up and develop a trusting relationship. Dr. Anjali holistic way of approach made me feel safe. Chaitali’s methods and ways to tackle the hardest to simplest problems made things look easier. Chaitali helped me put issues into perspective which made me feel more confident and positive. Also, the staff is incredibly supportive and loving.

Dr Prerna has been very kind and efficient in her work. We have been consulting her for more than a month now for my father’s smoking and alcohol dependence and she has wonderfully helped us manage the issue with medications and her counseling. She would guide my mother and myself on how to deal with the whole situation and gave my father various techniques and ways to curb his urges. She also went out of her way to find and suggest us a support group nearby our residency. I highly appreciate her approach, knowledge, and her willingness to get the best out of her patients and will always be grateful to her for her immense help! God bless you, Dr Prerna. I highly recommend her to all those who are looking for a great psychiatrist in Mumbai.

When I first approached MindTemple, I was attended to with utmost gentleness. All my concerns were not just listened to but were addressed effectively through the course of my treatment. Having suffered with anxiety and related problems for over 20 years, and needing to work on my own internal resistance to taking help, I got the right amount of counseling, therapy and treatment from the industry’s best practitioners. Words are not enough for me to express my gratitude, all I can say is “Thank you for giving life and hope back to me”. I thoroughly appreciate the professionalism Mind Temple brings to one of the most sensitive areas of human health. God bless you!!

I was advised by my friend from Chandigarh to consult Dr Anjali Chhabria at Mindtemple Mumbai.  Dr Anjali Chhabria is always professional and helpful. She is a wonderful and compassionate doctor who truly understands what her patient’s needs are. I am grateful to have her as my doctor. Her recommendations have been excellent. I highly recommend Forum also to anyone looking for an empathetic therapist.  She is truly concerned about improving her patients well being. At the same time, she is very professional and knowledgeable and I felt like I was in extremely capable hands. She has helped me overcome so much and I feel like my life and peace are both in such a better place since I started my treatment at Mindtemple.

The human mind is a plethora of emotions/ thoughts which when it becomes unmanageable, is very overwhelming! I found myself conflicted with such thoughts which deterred me from perceiving things around me in a normal way. This is where Dr Anjali and my therapist Ms Anisha intervened. They came in and helped me distinguish things/ situations that are toxic/unhealthy for me. I find myself fortunate that I came across both of them. They not only counselled me but also made me find a lot of positive things in myself that I wasn’t even aware of. Ms Anisha has always been patient and allowed me to ‘think about myself’ which I never really did before, she has also made me aware of a lot of things which I considered to be ‘not so important’. I am thankful to Ms Anisha & Dr Anjali for giving me a new lease of life where I can live confidently and independently. Kudos to ‘Mindtemple’ for creating a positive difference and making us aware that ‘Mental Health’ should not be taken for granted.

The Comeback is Always Stronger than the Setback I’m a mid 30’s woman residing in Delhi. I went through a breakup/separation towards the end of last year. The separation was extremely painful for me. I was left anxious, sad and extremely stressed. Heartbreak was not unfamiliar to me. But, this time, I knew I had to seek help to get over the relationship. I contacted Mind Temple and began therapy with Ms Kanan Kanakia. Over the last 8 months, I have steadily improved with therapy and my therapist’s support. What particularly helped me were the following aspects of therapy: Disruptions of my faulty assumptions/ cognitions by the therapist. Focus on the scheduling of activities. Customisation and alignment of interventions (quantity + type) to my needs and emotional states. Distressing events are part and parcel of everyone’s lives. However, seeking help can make the healing journey much more bearable. I seriously recommend therapy! Filled with gratitude, I want to thank Mind Temple and Ms Kanakia for the support provided to me during this difficult period of time. Today, I have negligible anxiety/ stress with regard to the event. On most occasions, I remain optimistic and happy. My improvement is not complete. But, today I know, I have the requisite armoury to take on life’s stressors.
