Mindful Centre For Mental Health

I have been in therapy with Dr. MSA for a while now and my life has changed for the better. I came to get my anxiety treated, but with the diagnostic procedure, i found out that I have a personality disorder. I questioned it throughout the process, bombarding MSA with my 'buts' and 'what ifs' and he took his time to explain everything to me. What I really appreciate about him and his process is that i was never supposed to accept something just because a professional told me so. I was given the space to ask questions, fight over them, and with time, form my own understanding of them. When things got a bit difficult, I even bailed out of therapy, vowing to never go back. Infact in the span of this one year of therapy, i stopped going for sessions twice. But what made me go back there again was the faith that I can just trust my therapist to understand my fears and that he can actually help me navigate through my life. From a technical point of view my symptoms have gotten better. My anxiety is reduced, my mood swings are less extreme. I am not just able to manage the mundanities of daily existence but sometimes even do the things that used to scare me so much. I am better at regulating my emotions and the frequency of my anxiety attacks are way reduced, so much so that it has gone down from multiple times a week to maybe once a month or two. And from an emotional point of view, I have started developing faith in the scope of healing, that maybe I could actually have a fulfilling existence without a constant battle with myself. I once told MSA that it seems like I have reached a plateau, that even though I feel 20-30% percent better, it doesn't seem like I could get any further and he told me that it might even be just 10% but see how much change it has brought in you. So yeah, if it's a long journey for you then therapy might feel redundant after a while but please keep going. The frequency of my sessions have decreased but I still go there as I know that there a lot of things that I still need to work on. Another important detail is that you might have to wait a bit before you actually get an appointment with him. Maybe a few weeks but if you can wait that much than its going to be worth your time. He would explain everything to you from the first session onwards. And I can assure you from my own experience that he would not only patiently listen to your issues but also explain it in an honest manner so that you could get more awareness of your own patterns. After questioning him and doubting him for months, and him patiently explaining everything to me multiple times, I can finally say that I trust his process now.

As we all are heading towards a new year (2024) I want to thank the almighty that I met Dr Mir Shahid Ali & he actually made 2023 a life-changing year for me! So, I met Dr Shahid, a clinical psychologist based in Delhi, 3 months back at Mindful, Saket. And today I can proudly say that, if the word 'Savior' had a face it's Dr Shahid.My experience with Dr. Shahid has been highly rewarding. His insightful guidance left a significant impact on my well-being in both the personal & professional front.Dr. Shahid's empathetic demeanour and professional aptitude helped me in unravelling my innermost self. His unwavering patience showcased his compassionate nature and expertise in the field, thus providing me with the much-needed support and a push that filled me with strength.Shahid sir helped me delve deeper into my personal worries & the best part about him is that he wasn't forcing those cliche therapist techniques and was actually letting me be me.Recollecting my initial meeting with him- Well I was struggling for almost 4 years in a stuck situation and ended up meeting him with a give-up attitude but little did I know that he's not just a therapist but a magician (at least for me). I was going through a personal crisis & my 4 years of struggle actually vanished in just two months that Shahid sir had said( rather vouched for) in our very first meeting, thanks to his systematic approach.In our initial sessions I actually used to blabber anything and everything but Dr Shahid being Dr Shahid used to give me takeaways that actually turned out to be life changing for me. Like they say 'you are your best judge' all I can say today is that 'life's good'.I can write an entire book on my experience so far but just in case you are struggling with any issues that you can't discuss with anyone big/small, just meet Dr Shahid once you can always thank me later ;) P.S: You start feeling better the moment you enter Dr Shahid's cabin, that I now call the manifestation room 😇

Dr Shahid is very humble and nice۔ I was going through relationship issues and had lost all hope۔ I was taken to doctor by my friend۔ I was not willing for any counseling may be because I was hopeless۔ it was that one initial session when Dr Shahid explained me about my problem and the way he explained the process of therapy۔ I took 6 sessions and there was a significant improvement۔ I am still in therapy but life has completely changed with better relationships۔ I am not sure if all the therapist behave the same way but I must say for me yes doctor is next to God۔

Thankyou a ton doctor۔۔۔

I was going through depression and obsessions for many years. Consulted lot of doctors and psychotherapists in Delhi but the improvement was not satisfying. Luckily I came to know about Dr Shahid through a random person while traveling in metro. My first visit to him was so informative and reasonable. It was the first session I understood the reasons for not improving much. I started feeling better and with 12 sessions of CBT I got major improvement. Life is on full go, I am fully functional. All thanks to Dr Shahid and mindful team for arranging appointment time to time.

Thankyou
