As a platform that believes closely in inclusivity and mental health, we thought this would be a good time to list a few mental health initiatives across India that work towards the same goal.
We’re only listing those organizations which have come via our peer referral system. Organizations that are known to us via our current network of therapists. We’ve only included those groups that have a team size of 3+. Some of them are legally registered entities, some are volunteer collectives.

This list is in no way exhaustive, but if you’d like for us to make a dedicated (curated) list of low cost therapy centers do let us know!
Counselling centers help you find therapists who are experienced, and includes the possibility of free/low cost therapy as they’re backed by an organization. If you’re looking to see a private therapist instead, our platform curates them here. Our curation tries to ensure everyone we list is inclusive, affirmative and tries to have a sliding scale.
If therapy, or the organizations listed above is inaccessible to you, you could try finding community support via the support groups we list, or the helplines we’ve listed here.
You got this. We got you.
