Get To Know Divya:

  • Why did you choose to become a counsellor?
    I was always drawn to studying humanity at a deeper, more personal level, passionate about uncovering what lies at the roots of the human experience, what drives us to be who and what we are, and how all of that can be changed if necessary in order to release all that which is no longer serving our purpose. Having experienced the benefits of therapy in my own personal journey, navigating through trauma, insecurities, and severe issues related to body image, I chose to become a counsellor to be able to create and hold that space for another being who could also be feeling stuck at a particular juncture in their life, and assist them in taking their story forward.
  • What excites you about your work as a counsellor?
    The most exciting part about my work as a counsellor is holding space for my clients as they navigate through their doubts, fears, anxieties, sadness, or denial, and learn to overcome their difficulties by being kinder to themselves and their world. Being their collaborative guide on this journey is my sheer privilege, and I feel really humbled to get that glimpse into their personal, innermost world.
  • What do you hope for your clients to experience after their first session with you?
    I hope that after their first session, the clients feel safe, understood, and heard. I also hope that they take the first step towards respecting and valuing themselves by trusting their own wisdom, and recognize therapy as a collaborative process that will help them on their journey of unleashing their true potential.
  • What would you wish to tell a client who is thinking about seeking counselling?

    Seeking counselling is an act of self-care. It’s okay to not know what to expect, or feel awkward, confused, and scared about seeking therapy. Reach out to a mental health professional and ask your questions. When going to a counsellor or therapist for the first time, it is alright to ask them about their qualifications and their attitudes towards receiving supervision and therapy for themselves (yes, therapists need to be in therapy too to ensure their own issues are not spilling over the client’s sessions!). If you find them evading your questions or not giving satisfactory answers, it is alright to seek another therapist. Also, not every therapist will be the right fit for you - and that’s okay. However, if you find yourself changing therapists frequently, sometimes, it helps to explore what’s really not working for you, and what is it that you are really seeking.

    Questions around the therapists’ experience, the fee they offer, are also valid. Curiosity is always welcome!

  • Describe the relationship that you would wish to build with your client in counselling.
    I wish for my clients to view me as a collaborative guide helping them on their journey towards discovering themselves, and I hope we share a relationship that is based on mutual respect, trust, and authenticity. I don’t wish to be viewed as an expert who has all the answers.
  • In your counselling work so far, what has been your greatest learning from your clients?
    I am in awe of each client of mine who drop all masks they’re wearing, and just allow themselves to be fully exposed in the session. The space we create together is something that I consider sacred and hold in the highest of regards. I feel my greatest learning from my clients has been the brave, courageous and difficult act of not just acknowledging and accepting my vulnerabilities, but actually showing them to the world.
  • What are some of your strengths as a counsellor that you value and appreciate?
    I am a good listener and I believe I have deep respect for all my clients. I really love knowing them for the wonderful people they are, connecting with them, and viewing them minus their labels.
  • What are some of the things you like to do in your free time?
    I love to read, watch movies and television shows. On weekends, I just love sleeping in, lazing around my house and watching reruns of some of my favourite shows. Food gives me joy and I absolutely love cooking hearty, comfort food.
  • What is the therapeutic approach you use? How would you describe it to someone who wants to consult you for therapy?
    I am an advocate for sensitivity, compassion, acceptance, and vulnerability. In my sessions, I use reflective questions to help people arrive at or make meaning of their experiences. My therapeutic approach is solution-focused, while helping clients process their unresolved emotions, reframe negative thoughts, and heal from their unpleasant past experiences. I use transactional analysis and a trauma-focused lens as well, which means I recognize how each one of us is a collection of multiple pieces of a jigsaw puzzle, and the interaction between these pieces shapes who we become as a complete unit. In therapy, we build the picture together, discovering new pieces along the way, realizing which pieces of the puzzle belong elsewhere, and explore the events in our life that made us believe at one point of time why we believed this piece of puzzle at that time felt like the perfect spot!
  • How do you make your therapeutic practice a safe and affirmative space for queer and trans* folx?
    My therapeutic practice is confidential. I always ask my clients to let me know their preferred pronouns, and I use gender-inclusive language. I also let my clients know that if at any point they feel that biases and judgments are coming in the way of the counselling-process, they can let me know when that happens.

Finding Support On TheMindClan.com

How It Works

1. Find Support

Browse our curated list of mental health professionals, support groups, and resources that resonate with you.

2. Learn More

Read detailed profiles, specialties, and approaches to understand if they're the right fit for you.

3. Connect Directly

We'll help you reach out and then step aside - your mental health journey is personal.

While we carefully curate our listings, we encourage you to make your own informed decisions. Take time to research, ask questions, verify credentials and choose what feels right for you. Your comfort and safety is top priority.

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.

1. Therapists / Support Groups Contact Us
We receive applications from therapists and support groups who want to join our community.
Therapists and support groups apply to join our community. We review basic qualifications - only suitable candidates move forward.
2. Peer Referral Confirmation
Feedback from within our community.
We reach out to trusted professionals within our community about the applicant. If we don't get confident feedback, we stop here.
3. Personal Interview
Our personal interview with the applicant.
We have a conversation to understand their values and approach to inclusive care. Those who don't align with our standards don't continue.
4. Curation Questionnaire
Our detailed assessment of the applicant.
Applicants answer detailed questions about working with diverse communities within our network. Inadequate responses, or a lack of experience with diverse communities, ends the process.
5. Final Decision
(Approx 1 - 2 Months In Total)
We review everything carefully within our community standards. Only providers who pass all stages join 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.

No Hidden Fee

To keep their services affordable, every payment happens directly between you and the support provider. We do not take any commissions, which means support providers don't need to inflate their fees to account for middleman costs.

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!
