BOOK AN APPOINTMENTAltMindShift was established in the serene Himalayan town of Mcleodganj, Dharamshala, after being founded in Mumbai, where our Founder's journey in mental health began as early as 2008.
What started as a vision to make psychological wellbeing accessible and practical through online, on-the-go sessions back then, has since grown into a trusted organization supporting individuals, families, educational institutions, professional groups, workplaces, organisations and crisis centres alike.
AltMindShift offers care and support to help people navigate life with clarity, resilience, and hope—to revive joy and meaning—and actively works to reduce stigma around mental health, raise awareness, provide resources, and offer trauma recovery programs through its collaborative partnerships.

Q: What is counseling or psychotherapy and how can it help?
A: Counseling—or therapy—is a confidential, collaborative process with a trained professional typically using structured psychotherapeutic tools, designed to support emotional healing, improve self-awareness, and help you reach your goals by developing coping strategies tailored to your needs.
Q: Is therapy right for me?
A: If you're feeling stuck, anxious, often overwhelmed or mostly underwhelmed, or simply want to grow personally, therapy can help. It's also a safe space for exploring deeper emotional patterns, setting goals, or processing trauma.
Q: What actually happens in a typical therapy session?
A: Sessions often begin with identifying your current concerns in the first session and exploring their roots. After your goals are understood by the therapist, they may introduce techniques to help manage emotions, change behaviors, dysfunctional basic attitudes and deepen self-understanding.
Q: How long does therapy usually take?
A: It varies based on your needs and goals. Typically people attend between 4 to 6 sessions, each lasting 45 minutes, often scheduled weekly, although it is a flexible range depending on the gaps taken between sessions, individual pace of the client and the goal of therapy.
Q: Will what I share remain confidential?
A: Yes, absolutely. Everything you discuss is private and secure. Exceptions include situations like self-harm or other-harm risks or abuse disclosures, which may legally require action to inform an authority or a trusted loved one.
Q: How do I know if a therapist is a good fit?
A: A good fit feels safe, supportive, and aligned with your needs and goals. It feels like it is goal-directed, helping you with the skills you need to face your challenges and is not simply focused on talking about events.
It’s okay to try different professionals until you find the right match. Some research on which therapy they practice (Eg- REBT, CBT, ACT, DBT, Behavioral Therapy etc), checking their online reviews, educational credentials and whether it is an evidence-based model of treatment or not in psychotherapy can help.
Q: How does online therapy work at AltMindShift?
A: Online counseling is conducted via Zoom video —offering flexibility and accessibility from anywhere pan India, also working with time zones for overseas consulting.
Q: Is it secure and private?
A: Yes— we uphold strict privacy policies to safeguard your conversations and data. Your identity is never disclosed outside and your data is not sold to other platforms.
Q: How can I book a therapy session directly?
A: You can request for a session with us directly through our website’s Request an Appointment Form or reach us on Whatsapp - +91-9967035943 for appointments.
Q: What issues can I bring to therapy?
A: Therapy at our end is equipped to help with a wide range of concerns such as anxiety, depression, thoughts of self-harm, clinical conditions, trauma (both PTSD & C-PTSD), grief and coping with loss of a loved one, relationship issues, stress, loneliness, self-esteem and confidence issues, life transitions, gender and sexuality, adjustment issues, identity based issues, exhaustion and fatigue, parenting, interpersonal issues, work-life balance, job stress, low motivations, panic or other concerns, job loss stress or financial stress, overwhelm from on-going socio-political events and more.
Q: Can therapy really make a difference?
A: Yes. Many of our clients have reported not just feeling better but also getting better in time - gaining clarity, improving relationships, developing authenticity in expression, feeling more hopeful, and initiating positive changes in life.
Q: Is therapy always the best approach?
A: While therapy supports personal growth and healing, some situations (like immediate crisis or risk) may require emergency interventions or specialized services.
