From Personal Struggles to Professional Purpose
MY JOURNEY
My parents wanted me to pursue medicine, but during my entrance exam preparation, I realized that I wanted to help people with their life stories and real-life struggles. This realization led me to psychology, and with a mixture of determination and luck, I managed to enter college and start my journey toward becoming a mental health professional.
My journey into mental health began with my own struggles. As a teenager, I battled severe anxiety and low self-esteem. My mental health issues also took a toll on my physical health, causing frequent pain and a profound sense of feeling lost. I often wished for help but couldn’t find it. Mental health was—and in many ways, still is—a taboo subject in our community.

Mental health was—and in many ways, still is—a taboo subject in our community.
To make a meaningful impact, I studied psychology and gained hands-on experience through internships at hospitals in Delhi. When the COVID-19 lockdown began, I felt a profound urge to support those who were feeling isolated and anxious. Recognizing the widespread struggle, I started creating videos on Instagram to offer support and encouragement. Initially, I wasn’t sure how to make a significant impact, but the positive feedback from viewers showed me that my efforts were resonating. People shared that my videos helped them feel better and motivated them to seek help.
Making a Difference
After earning my degree, I worked in clinical settings by day and offered private therapy sessions in the evenings. I kept my fees flexible to ensure that I could assist as many people as possible, regardless of their financial situation. As my work gained recognition through various platforms and media, I became increasingly driven to address a common concern: many individuals were struggling to find the right support.

This realization inspired me to take action. I founded "The Mind Home," a platform designed to connect individuals with the right mental health experts. Our mission is to help people live a life with a holistic health approach, as I believe that our physical, mental, and emotional health are interconnected. We aim to reach and assist as many people as possible.
