A Life-Changing Experience: Dr. Shefali Batra, an Oasis of Hope
I consider myself incredibly fortunate to have had the opportunity to meet and receive guidance from Dr. Shefali Batra. From the moment I stepped into her office, I knew I had found the most effective doctor I've ever encountered. With her unique style and approach, Dr. Shefali creates an environment that immediately puts you at ease and empowers you to take charge of your life.
One of the most remarkable qualities of Dr. Shefali is her exceptional listening skills. She gives you her undivided attention, making you feel heard and understood. It's evident that she genuinely cares about her patients' well-being. Furthermore, her remarkable intellect enables her to provide answers to even the most challenging questions, making her a true expert in her field.
Dr. Shefali's passion and empathy are truly transformative. Her unwavering commitment to her patients' success consistently leads to breakthrough moments. She strikes a delicate balance as a trooper, offering unwavering support while also being direct and honest in guiding you towards the necessary changes. With her guidance, I have found the courage to face my obstacles head-on.
What sets Dr. Shefali apart is her role as a life coach. She goes beyond traditional therapy, providing effective and life-changing solutions to the problems we face. Without her support and intervention, I honestly don't know where my life would be headed. Dr. Shefali's wisdom and guidance have been instrumental in my personal growth and happiness.
In a world filled with selfishness, Dr. Shefali stands out as an oasis of hope. Her dedication and professionalism know no bounds. She goes above and beyond to help those in need, truly exemplifying what it means to be a thorough professional. Her unwavering commitment to her patients' well-being is a testament to her character.

Visited For Child and Adolescent Problems
Happy with: Doctor friendliness
I had always been inspired reading self-help books from my teenage days & always thought how wonderful it would be to receive guidance like this in person, & not through the pages of a book. It took me years later with a teenage son, to come across such a person in Dr. Shefali Batra.
I would not have imagined that a Dr carrying the designation of a 'Psychiatrist', could portray the image of a guide, a mentor, a shoulder to ease the parental stress while being an equal friend to a teenager.
I have been pleasantly surprised to discover that this designation should rather more comfortably & aptly be described as a life coach, to give way to inhibitions that parents/people like me have in bringing their kids or self to people like these who can enhance the quality of your life.
What strikes out the most, is Dr Shefali's super sharp insight. From day one, I was left without words, how someone who doesn't know you, can understand and see through the situation with such cutting accuracy.
She doesn't just focus on the 'problem' and it's causes , but extends herself into the deep understanding of the complete environment settings involved.
Rather than it being a repetition of the dark areas, it becomes a conversational approach.
She always lays the truth as it is, yet she stands by with full support. She takes you through the uncomfortable zone, with a comforting finesse.
What is highly notable is that her 'work' is not restricted from session to session, but covers the period in between too, which gives so much of fluidity and makes it a wholesome process and not just a 'visit to the doctor'!

I was very satisfied with my visit (repeated visits) to Dr Shefali. I have been to her office a few times and anytime I have needed she has been available on the phone for audio and video appointments. What I feel helped me best is her empathic style and her care for how I felt. She is a good human being first, and then an excellent doctor. I cannot imagine how it would have been without her. I have seen so many doctors and nobody understood me because I guess nobody had the time to understand me. She discussed every problem in great detail and suggested a solution for even the smallest issue of mine. She is an excellent doctor - both in terms of the medicine she prescribes as well as her therapy.
Before I met Dr Batra, my life was an emotional mess with bipolar disorder. I was drowned in an unnecessary cocktail of medicines, suffering recurring episodes of mania and depression; and I was not really living my life. Through the sessions she identified my mood switch triggers and delved into the root cause of my emotional conflict. Soon the mania and depression episodes diminished in magnitude and intensity. I became more self-aware and mindful. She got me the most stability with the least medicines ever. It’s lovely that she works with her patients in such a collaborative way. I know I will have a better life ahead thanks to her support and guidance.
Visited For Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD)
Hoped for better: Doctor friendlinessExplanation of the health issueTreatment satisfactionValue for money
I have been suffering from ptsd from past 10 years and I consulted many doctors but nothing helped. I had undergone rtms therapy but it didn't help. Finally I contacted Dr shefali batra. Her assistant contacted me so many times. Requested me to try dr shefali's therapy. I refused initially since dr shefali's fee is way to high. She charges rs 4500 per session so the assistant gave me a discount and asked me to pay 3000rs. Finally, I attended her half an hr session. She was so rude. She shared with me few tests and asked me to fill the excel sheet. I listed all the traumatic events that I had gone through. Week passed there was no response from her. When I contacted her assistant, she asked me to check excel sheet in which dr asked me to fill how I feel daily and why I feel so. I was so surprised. This is how her therapy works. First she will not listen to your story. She doesn't care if you are in pain . Then she has created some tests. ***** **** * ******* *** ********* *** **** ******* Then, she doesn't care to call you back to give your reports. Instead, she would write in 2 lines, write down your emotions on daily basis and why you feel so. I did that task also but she didn't reply. She is busy making youtube videos ** ******* ******* ******** This is how her cbt treatment works and yes she shares with you tedx videos , again another way to gain popularity and mindfulness audios. ***** *** ********* *** **** ** ******** I have met so many psychologists. **** **** **** ******* *** **** *** ******* ******* *** ** **** ********* ****** ** ******* ****** *** ********* *** **** *** ** ** **** ***** *** *** ******* ** ****** **** ******** She has kept an assistant who calls repeatedly and request people to try dr shefali's therapy. And yes , I was also told initially that she regularly follow up her clients and engage them in mindfulness based therapy. Her assistant called me and wrote derogatory comments to me, when I posted my review on some website. ****** * **** **** ** **** **** *** ***** ** ***** *** ******** ****** ** ******* *** ** **** *** *** ***** I am not a supporter of any organisation. I request people not to fall prey ** **** ********** There are many ngo's which support depressed people and there are many clinics where cbt is rigorously followed
Pls note my experience was very painful.
Dr Batra has very good understanding of the symptoms of each type of mental illness and knows what specific medicines and therapy to recomond. For me on my second visit itself there was tremendous releaf from an illness that was haunting me for 35 years. Dr Batra is very focused when you meet her. She is also very professional and takes patients by appointments, which is very convenient. When I was in the hospital for pulmonary hypertension leading to blessing, and she came to know about it, she visited me in the hospital to see me. When she went to USA she continued to treat me by tele-conferancing. Dr Batra has all the qualities that one would wish any doctor should have.
Visited For OCD TreatmentAnxiety And Depression
Happy with: Doctor friendlinessExplanation of the health issueTreatment satisfactionValue for moneyWait time
I feel odd saying this publicly, but after seeing Dr Shefali's TED talk on the stigma of mental illness I wanted to come out in the open with my OCD so that others like me can seek help and get the benefit from CBT Experts like Dr Shefali.I had very gruesome sexual, religious, fetish and vulgar thoughts and this would make me feel very guilty. I was getting so anxious and depressed that I couldn't study or focus on friendships and relationships. These thoughts had no connection with my life but they just kept coming. It was terrible. Dr Shefali used a combination of medicines and CBT approaches like ERP to help me think and feel differently. I have been seeing her for a long time and finally I'm now relieved of these thoughts. I completed my engineering and I got a great job and I'm so happy about this. Thank you Dr Shefali!
Visited For Anxiety And DepressionAssessment and treatment of problems related to low self-esteem, stress and anxiety
Happy with: Treatment satisfaction
I have been consulting Dr Shefali for anxiety, depression, and low self-esteem. I had been in misery for more than 15 years. However, her professional acumen enabled
her to pinpoint the root cause within couple of sessions, as her vast knowledge and experience enables her to read minds precisely. The therapy that followed, including the mood tracker, instant response to messages, mindful audios, relaxation exercises,
medication, and, definitely, the humane touch and compassion, enabled me to LIVE
more, and not just exist and perish. It has not just brought relief to me and my family but even added colours of Gratitude, Joy, Happiness, Content and Fulfilment to our lives. My family and I shall be ever grateful to Dr Shefali for bringing such a wonderful
and beautiful transformation to our lives. She turned out not just being a therapist, but a saviour, an angel who healed me from the core. She is more like a Life Coach to
me!
Complete team at Mindframes is very polite, positive, helpful, and understanding.
Never ever there has been a moment that I have felt ignored or left out. The team has always been forthcoming in all possible ways.
It is evident that Dr Shefali is working for a larger social cause by empathetically understanding and resolving problems faced by individuals in their lives. Thus, offering
better life to the humanity.
In my opinion if anyone needs therapy, she is the One, she is amazing *** *** *****

Dr is an amazing sounding board but she won’t just listen. Initially I was like why is she asking me so many questions and making me do homework on my mind like a child. Now I realize that just by venting my heart I was not going to get better. Her professional advice has been my guiding light and I am a transformed person. Thank you Dr Shefali. From the bottom of my heart.
Visited For Personality Assessment
Happy with: Explanation of the health issueTreatment satisfaction
Dr Shefali was a great listener and was very patient with me. She listened (actually actually listened) to my problems and was very empathetic. She was not pushy in her approach though she was assertive of course. She gave good suggestions and connected with me everyday in moving forward with a plan. I would recommend her.
