Let’s be real.

Your pet is your world. They bring endless cuddles, hilarious chaos & the kind of love that rewires your heart. But loving deeply also means carrying deeply. And sometimes… it’s exhausting.

This Group is for you if:

  • You’ve ever cried in your car after a vet visit
  • You love your pet fiercely, but feel quietly depleted
  • You wonder if you’re doing enough
  • You’re tired of carrying the mental load alone
  • You need someone to tell you (and mean it)- “You are doing a good job”

Session Info:

This is an online support group for Pet Parents to connect, share, and grow through shared experiences. Our group focuses on a pet parents & their emotional rollercoaster which is facilitated by two trained professionals - Maitri Das (Counselling Psychologist & Drama and Movement Therapist Facilitator) and Dakshita Sabharwal (Counselling Psychologist & Expressive Arts Therapist).

Every Sunday, we’ll meet online to discuss a particular aspect.

Here is the lineup for all 4 weeks:

  • 15th March- The “Empty Bowl” Syndrome
  • 22nd March- Sensory Overload & The “Always-On” Nervous System
  • 29th March- The Guilt of the “Good Enough” Parent
  • 5th April- Decision Fatigue & The Isolation of Advocacy

We will explore these areas through different creative mediums of expression like art, music, movement and writing.

Our curation process

Find someone who understands you, in just a few clicks.

We've developed a curation process over 7+ years, which allows us to carefully curate each inclusive and affirming mental health provider listed on our platform.

We have come a long way since we started in 2018, and have been adapting our curation process every day. From the time a therapist or support group reaches out to us, it takes about 1 - 2 months to complete the process.

Inspired By Our Own Struggles.

We launched TheMindClan.com because we know firsthand how challenging it can be to find support for ourselves and our loved ones. We know that experiences of neurodivergence (like dyslexia, ADHD, autism, etc), or being from a marginalized community (LGBTQIA+, etc), can make it especially challenging to find support.

We understand the overwhelming feeling of scrolling through endless lists, wondering whom to trust, and not knowing what to expect.

For Everyone

Whether you’re coping with anxiety, depression, stress, trauma, relationship issues, grief, or any other mental health concern, we’re here to help you find the right support.

Inclusive by Design

If you are queer, neurodivergent, or are from a marginalized community, your experiences are at the heart of what we do.

Handpicked with Care

Support providers are handpicked after personal interviews and a rigorous curation process.

For context: From 442 therapist who wanted to join our platform (Oct 2020–Mar 2025), only 168 made it through our curation process.

Not Just Therapy

We also curate support groups 👥, create digital exercises 📱, and work on corporate partnerships 🏢 that help make mental health a priority in more spaces.

No Middlemen. Take Things Ahead Directly

We provide you with direct contact details of support providers, empowering you to reach out, ask questions, and schedule sessions

Access Their Story

Get to know your potential therapist or support group’s background & journey, helping you find someone who feels right for you.

Confidential

Your conversations with support groups, therapists, and others remain completely private. We never ask them for any information about the concerns you have shared with them.

Your Relationship, No Interference From Us

If the therapist or support group you choose is not a good fit, you can use our platform to find someone else you feel more comfortable with. We’re not here to interfere with your relationship with your support provider.

If you appreciate our mission of making mental health care accessible and inclusive, and would love to bring this to your organization or collaborate with us, we'd be delighted to hear from you!
