I have visited Mindful TMS for the treatment of Anxiety Disorder and Stress. Dr. Karthika R Nair is very friendly, kind and patient doctor. She will listen to your problem very calmly and will make yourself comfortable so that you can share your issues without any hesitation. I liked her willingness to listen and discuss on the same. She is not at all time constraint, she will give you enough time and will discuss on the same. Now coming on to the cost part of Mindful TMS, they charge very minimal amount and staff is also very friendly. I don't think any clinic can be better than this. I must appreciate their effort and I am thankful for each and everything whatever they did for me to make me feel calm, relax, happy, comfortable and much more. Basically, they ticked all the boxes. I must say they really help the people in need. Before posting any negatives about this Organization. Please visit and Experience it once. Thank You!!!

I was diagnosed with OCD for more than 5 years now and was having a very difficult time with it. Have been on medication since 2015 but had minimal changes. It started affecting both my personal and professional life.
I got to know about TMS and approached Mindful TMS Neurocare and there Ms Karthika assessed me and explained to me about my condition and the treatment required. Even during the treatment she was supportive
I started on TMS and it actually helped me a lot.
Thank you Karthika Ma'am and team MindfulTMS for the support.

In Ms Karthika we found the hope, guidance and therapy that we as a family needed to manage the problems our son was facing with his ASD. With Kartika's help we were able to understand why things were the way they were. We got clarity in how we should approach life with our son. Not just that, she built a good rapport with him and through the therapy and counseling sessions we have seen quite a few positive changes. His character has improved. His game addiction has reduced. He was not even confident in attempting one math problem. But he ended up getting a bunch of As and AAs in his final exams! (part due to therapy and part due to our and his tuition teachers efforts). It is kind of amazing to see how much could be achieved in behavior therapy sessions with very little medication.
When I look back at this past year, every little guidance from her has had a useful impact and at times a tremendous impact. Sometimes we have been quite frustrated, at times to the point of hopelessness and everytime she reinforced the whys, the whats and the how's and almost always got us back on track. We understand it's a long road ahead for us: we understand there is no silver bullet but we know that with her therapy we have the best chance to be able to make it through this
I will not recommend her .

Visited For Counselling And Stress Management

I consulted Ms. Karthika for stress management. She is extremely supportive and understanding of all issues. Karthika helped me see how my personal and marital issues and my own behaviour patterns were causing me anxiety, anger and depression. The personality assessment she suggested was an eye opener. She shared practical coping mechanisms and she has been a very patient listener. I feel much more balanced, calm and happy post my counselling sessions.

I met Dr. Kavitha few months ago, but i sincerely not believed or interested initially. As going forward i had 7 to 8 sittings which really helped me. She is user friendly and listens with patience. She didn't do miracle but gave real time examples. But now proudly i can say i am a better person, i changed my behavior like change in my habits. Thank you madam, Raju
Ms. Karthika was very helpful and courteous while counseling. She pays full attention and gives good life examples for one to understand the situations and deal with it accordingly. Each session was well defined with an agenda and focus to improve. It was definitely a fruitful experience.

Doctor Karthika is extremely understanding and patient. As a psychologist, she gives you enough time to open up and explain your problems. There was no room for hesitation when it came to expressing my situation as she was very warm and welcoming. I highly recommend Doctor without a doubt as her demeanor is very approachable. She greets every patient with a warm smile. My experience was completely healing since she understood every facet of my problem and helped me overcome everything step by step. I'm extremely happy with my decision to proceed with her for my treatment since it was the best decision I've ever made. Have no doubt in mind. She's one of the few gifted psychologists!

She is very comforting to talk with. I'm still in a relatively early stage of my treatment so I am yet to make a solid judgement. I find that the conversations end up sidelining a lot in the pretext of explaining the issues. However, the natural flow of the conversations allow for a more natural space for opening up. She tends to explain about her issues a lot in hopes that you can relate with her, which may or may not be suitable for someone.
In my experience, I find her to be quite understanding and helpful. But I wish the conversations didn't sideline as much and that she doesn't open up about her all that much.
