Nestled in the midst of a residential are in BTM Layout, NIMHANS Centre for Well-Being is a place that welcomes anybody who is looking out for support and comfort. It is located away from the city noise and disturbances and is a non-threatening space with a pleasant ambience and a beautiful garden with a seating space under a pergola.
This Centre was started with the idea that while there is much focus on treating severe mental disorders, there is not much awareness about minor mental disturbances that could be a part of anybody’s daily life. Our unique facility is designed to be available to share your thoughts, feelings, problems, concerns etc with expert teams from NIMHANS, and mental health professionals who are available during working hours on all days.
Reaching us is very simple. Help and support is just a phone-call/visit/email away.
Ring: Any concern bothering you, or clarification regarding the services available, or need for help in crisis, you are free to ring a phone-call and be supported with information, guidance and advice.
Drop-in: Our doors are open for anybody to pay a visit and have a word with our mental health professionals who will be available to guide you at any time during working hours.

If You Call, Please Let Us Know How it Went:
Were You Able to Make an Appointment?
One quick last question. Who was seeking counseling today?
Do you know the reason they are not accepting clients?
A community counseling agency is a group therapy practice that offers affordable mental health services. Most are independent non-profit agencies, state agencies, or publicly-funded agencies. A few may restrict who is eligible for services, so it is a good idea to check when you call.
Community counseling agencies are generally more affordable than other therapy providers, but how much more affordable they are will depend on whether you qualify for a discount or sliding scale fee (or if they accept your insurance). Many, but not all, have a policy that they won't turn away anyone due to inability to pay. You should ask about their fees when you first call.
Expect to talk to kind people who want to help you find the care you need. Most community agencies strive to connect you with a live person within 24 hours, if not immediately. If you're asked to hold or leave a message, don't give up; just leave a message and wait. You should hear back pretty quickly.
Most agencies try to set up an initial assessment appointment within a week (some do within 24 hours), though the waitlist to start therapy is usually longer—about a few weeks on average. If you're not eligible or if the agency is not right for you, it's usually still worth it to call or drop in, because staff are knowledgeable about local options and can often refer you to one.
