Therapists and Support Groups for Chronic Pain

Living with chronic pain can be an exhausting and isolating experience. Whether your pain is visible or invisible, believed or questioned by others, constant or intermittent, the emotional toll of living with pain is profound. At TheMindClan.com, we’ve built a network of peer-reviewed therapists and carefully curated support groups across India who understand that chronic pain is not just a physical sensation - it’s a life-altering experience that affects your mental health, relationships, work, and sense of self.

Every therapist in our chronic pain network has been peer-reviewed and selected through recommendations from existing network members. This community-driven approach means they’ve been validated by professionals who understand that chronic pain requires compassionate support that honors both your physical reality and emotional experience.
