The Mind Research Foundation

We contacted Ms. Diya & The Mind Research Foundation via a search on the Practo app for "Grief Counseling". We expected that there would be many people in pursuit of support to manage various emotions due to the many losses since the COVID started in 2020, but we did not expect that we ourselves would experience such huge effects of the deaths of our elder generation over the course of the past twenty-four months or so.

Ms. Diya provided an open-ended approach so that all of the feelings, beliefs and ongoing thoughts through the grief process could be fully explored. Also, Ms. Diya provided tangible techniques that could be utilized on a daily basis to manage the emotional effects of the grieving process. Moreover, Ms. Diya understood that expression of grief was the greatest need and it was wonderful to be in a closed environment during office hours to express those feelings without any fear that such expression would have any negative consequence. Ms. Diya ensured that privacy was guaranteed in every visit and this privacy reinforced the positive consequences that we needed to continue to grow.

We look forward to visiting Ms. Diya again very soon. Since the work/office schedules have resumed, it has been difficult to coordinate an appropriate timing, but certainly, we appreciate very much the counseling opportunity that Ms. Diya afforded us. Had it not been for her gifting of coping strategies and willingness to allow an open-ended expression of grief during office hours, perhaps we would not be ready and able to return to office now.

We appreciate very much the professionalism and supportive sincerity given to us by Ms. Diya and we look forward to visiting her again once schedules permit. Thanks very much to Ms. Diya and The Mind Research Foundation for helping us through our COVID grief. You have given to us a helping hand during a critical time of emotional need.

I got a slot for the same day that I approached The Mind Research Foundation. This was helpful.

Ms. Saniya has been my therapist. What I like is that there is a two way dialogue, whenever I need it. It makes me feel comfortable and helps me get another perspective on my thoughts. Also, I feel comfortable in discussing my thoughts and feelings because she is very objective about them.

She has provided a lot of ways to address my thoughts/ feelings, that have helped me in simplifying these. And in the process of doing so, I have started feeling confident and comfortable to handle them.

I've been talking to Dr Aditi Mahesh over the last month and I must tell you that it is going great. I have spoken to quite a few therapists in the past, but this experience stands out, cause it has been programmed around actionables and not just talk. Aditi is smart, thoughtful, empathetic and what I like the most about, is that she keeps it REAL! Ever since the first session, where she heard me out, we have been working on various techniques to deal with my situation and most importantly looking at a situation with a different lens. I feel at ease talking to Aditi and it is mostly because she makes me comfortable. If you are looking to have mental/emotional needs addressed, I would recommend The Mind Research Foundation. And if you get to talk to Aditi, I guess you are sorted. Thank you, Aditi!

Dr Aditi Mahesh is really professional. Her attention to details in our conversation is very impressive. Though I have just been seeing her for the last two months, there has been a significant improvement in me. She really makes me feel comfortable and its very easy to have a conversation with her. I was really nervous before starting counselling, but she has really made this processes easy and stress free. She has taken time on every topic i wanted to talk about, she has a lot of patience and does not rush through anything. I highly recommend seeing her if anyone has similar problems as me.

Ms Diya Kapur is my psychologist and I am having really impactful sessions with her every week. She have helped me with my anxiety issues, self esteem issues via many different methods like CBT. She have helped me in realizing repetitive patterns that I follow which leads to affecting my mental health negatively and also have helped me in working on them. Previously too I have taken counseling session but with Diya ma'am I feel my growth trajectory is more faster. I will highly recommend Diya ma'am!

I am happy I was introduced to Ms Shruthi. She has patiently listened to my issues and my problems. She has amicably and professionally explained what I can do to overcome such negative thoughts and stress. The exercises we do during the therapy sessions and during the course of the week have helped me tremendously. With the progress of each weekly session, I feel much at ease, more confident, and more mindful of my thoughts, reactions and decisions. I am happy I took this step and I am glad Ms Shruthi has helped me through my road of recovery.

It has been a pleasure having consulted Ms.Sanyuktaa. Her patience and empathy were striking throughout our sessions and she went above and beyond to make sure I understood my problems from a broader view. I feel I have become a more positive and hopeful person, understanding my strengths and shortcomings and how to work over my past which felt distant to me yet had a powerful presence in my present. It takes time to come out of emotionally draining situations, especially if you're working, and having someone like her listen, really helps navigate through life. I highly recommend her if one is looking for a real change.

I'm glad I chose this place. My therapist, Ms. Shruthi, was amazing and patient with all of my issues. She not only helped me gain confidence, but she also taught me how to deal with problems. I liked how, instead of telling me the solution, she helped me understand what I needed and what would be the best solution.

She has helped me understand myself and my behaviors better. When I first arrived, I had no idea what issues were causing me to act in this way. She is the reason I have improved so much since then. Highly recommend

Rachna Ma'am was very patient with me .She identified the problem and kept asking me whether her interpretation was right .Sometimes she would describe all the mess in my head with just two three words making me try to help myself in understanding the cause of the problem and change the stimulated effects of it .There was one class where I absolutely broke down she made me feel better telling me that it was OK. All the small but meaningful activities like mood chart,self esteem journal and meditation activity was something fun and new to try.I hope its left an equal impact on me too.Rachna ma'am listened to me giving me a different perspective of the problem which maybe my parents would have looked at with a slight bias .
