Welcome to KindSpace
We are a center for mental health. We offer individual and group therapy, conduct academic research & build awareness about important issues in mental health through our writing.
Thoughtful mental healthcare
We are a group of researchers-clinicians, who aim to bring culturally responsive knowledge to support our individual and group therapy efforts. We read, research and innovate the ways in which mental healthcare can be delivered more accessibly, more effectively and more supportively to the many who need it.
Research for impact
We are actively involved in multiple research projects that range from exploring the lived experiences of those who were emotionally neglected in childhood to assessing their long term impact to understanding young parents in rural India. If we see the potential for an impact where intervention with the mental health of one person effects the many around them, we pursue that.
Our therapy
Our aim as clinicians to support you intimately till you feel better able to navigate your world. We usually undertake long-term therapy with you, to ensure that we reach the heart of the matter. We take a non-diagnostic approach to therapy, focusing instead of the ways in which you have been coping and living, what matters to you now and how you wish to ‘be’, going further.
We work primarily with adults, and have a deep focus on those who experienced childhood emotional abuse or neglect, such as parentification. We also work with grief and bereavement. We offer both in-person and remote therapy options, and conduct individual and group therapy for both these concerns.
Our research
As academics, we design and execute studies that have the potential to change our understanding of important aspects of your daily lives. We specialize in understanding the lived experiences and narratives of various experiences, across cultures and demographics, and pay due attention to the historical, political and cultural nuances.
For us, research is meant to drive impactful action. Please get in touch if you’d like to propose a collaboration or seek a consultation.
Our writing
We disseminate information so that we can take our knowledge outside of the therapy room, jargon-free. We write based on our clinical experience and research as well as put out our opinions on mental health and current affairs. We publish across journals, newspapers and other significant publications.
We also have a collection of writings - The Shrinking Couch (TSC) - which brings together narratives of mental health.
If you read our work, we’d love to hear your thoughts.
