Let us build the field together.
Good mental health care for Indians, in India and across the diaspora, is still being figured out. Much of the research we rely on was built elsewhere, around other populations and other contexts, and the gaps show up in the room every day. We would rather help close those gaps than work around them quietly.
This page is an invitation. If you are a researcher, clinician, institution, or builder who cares about the same problem, we would like to hear from you.
This is not our service for employers and institutions looking to offer care to their people. That lives on our For Organisations page.
This page is about collaboration: research, shared learning, and building things that make care better for everyone, not only the people we happen to see. If you are looking to bring therapy to a workforce or campus, start there instead.
We would rather partner deeply with a few people than shallowly with many.
Researchers and academics
Studying mental health in Indian and diaspora contexts, where good data is still thin and the questions are real.
Clinicians and training institutions
Developing, testing, or teaching affirming and culturally grounded practice.
Community organisations
Working with queer, trans, neurodivergent, or otherwise underserved people who deserve care built with their realities in mind.
Builders and technologists
Working on the hard, unglamorous parts of making care more accessible without cutting clinical corners.
We are a small practice with a long horizon.
The best collaborations start as a conversation, not a proposal.
- Research into what actually helps people here, done ethically, with appropriate consent and clinicians who can see how that work plays out in real lives.
- Studies on affirming and culturally grounded care, so that the evidence base starts to include the people and contexts it has long left out.
- Training and teaching, sharing what we learn about supervision, measurement, and affirming practice with clinicians earlier in their careers.
- Tools and writing that make recognition and access better, without pretending a tool can replace a clinician.
We do not have this all mapped out.
A working practice, not a whiteboard.
- Therapists and psychiatrists who see clients week in and week out, so what we build is tested against reality.
- A standard we take seriously: supervision, capped caseloads, measurement, and ongoing training. It also makes us a place where careful research can actually happen.
- Deep grounding in queer-affirmative, trauma-informed, and culturally rooted work with Indians in India and across the diaspora.
- A genuine commitment to doing this ethically, with privacy and consent treated as non-negotiable rather than a compliance box.
We move at the pace good work needs.
We start with a conversation to see whether the problem we each care about is really the same one. If it is, we scope something small and concrete before anything larger, agree on how privacy, consent, and clinical safety are protected, and put that in writing before we begin.
We move at the pace good work needs rather than the pace a launch calendar wants. And we are honest early if it is not the right fit, which we think is the kinder thing for everyone.
If any of this sounds like the problem you are working on, we would like to hear from you.
You can send us a message through WhatsApp. It is an asynchronous chat that hands off to the team, so replies are not instant.
