I’d like to start by saying that the decision to start therapy can be a difficult one, but I acknowledge and appreciate your efforts regarding the same.
My philosophy about therapy is a simple one: “Therapy is there to make one better” - we can be in a bad space and want to get better; similarly, we can be good and still want to get better. Thus, therapy is a means through which we can strive for improvement and growth.
It is a carefully curated space, where both - you (the client) and I (the therapist) work towards your goals. To do this, it is essential that you experience a sense of safety, for growth and flourishment can only happen when we are feeling safe, in our mind and bodies. While I may provide some structure, the pace and flow of the session are determined by you. Working through one’s concerns can sometimes feel daunting and exhausting, and may occasionally involve breaks; thus, you decide when to slow down or pause.
When you feel overwhelmed, we may pause and focus on regulating the self to bring back a sense of safety, when you feel like you are ready, we resume.
Its scary because it is unfamiliar, not because you are incapable. Being nervous is part of the process. Give yourself grace as you grow.

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.
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!
