Languages and who you can see
We want to be direct about language. Many people in Bhubaneswar would like therapy in Odia, but none of our clinical psychologists lists Odia at present. Ms. Janvi Khokhar and Ms. Kamakshi Sabharwal offer therapy in English and Hindi, and both are shown below. Our psychiatrist, Dr. Dhritiman Das, can see you in Odia for assessment and treatment. If you want talk therapy and Odia is your first language, we can set up therapy in English or Hindi alongside a psychiatrist who speaks Odia, or you can start with the psychiatrist alone. Tell us what you prefer, and you can change your mind after a session or two.

Living and working in Bhubaneswar
- English or Odia? Plenty of young people in the city studied in English and find it easier to say hard things in that language, since the words feel less tied to home. For others only Odia will do when the subject is fear or guilt. Start with whichever feels closer and switch whenever you wish.
- Far from home. Students and new graduates arriving in Bhubaneswar often face unfamiliar routines, uncertain plans and few close friends nearby. Therapy gives a regular place to sort through that and to build habits that hold when a week goes badly.
- Making the hour stick. Lectures, labs, shifts and family duties squeeze the week. With no travel involved, an online session can sit at the same time every week, and a fixed slot works better than a perfect one.
- After a hard season. Cyclones and floods leave their mark on people along the Odisha coast, and fear, poor sleep and irritability can linger long after the water has gone. If that sounds familiar, a psychologist can help you work through it at your own pace, and a psychiatrist can be added if the symptoms are heavy.
- Emergencies. Mindly is not an emergency service. In immediate danger anywhere in Bhubaneswar, call 112 or reach the nearest hospital. Tele-MANAS (14416) is a free helpline open day and night across India.
Concerns people in Bhubaneswar bring
The concerns below are among those our clinical psychologists see most often from people across India. Each page explains the signs, how it is assessed and what support can look like.
What therapy looks like in practice
The first meeting is mostly conversation: what has been happening, what you have tried, and what you want from therapy. Next the psychologist proposes a plan. For constant worry or a flat mood that often means cognitive behavioural therapy, where you learn to catch and test the thoughts that keep you stuck. Compulsions are treated by facing fears in steps while resisting the ritual. Meetings usually happen once a week for around an hour. Short tasks in between, like a sleep diary, carry the learning into daily life. Hostel wifi can be unreliable; say so early and a voice call becomes the fallback.

Therapy and psychiatry together
Some people recover with therapy alone. A psychiatrist is worth bringing in when sleep or appetite have shifted sharply, when you have thought of harming yourself, or when your psychologist suspects bipolar disorder or ADHD. Prescribing is outside a psychologist's scope. Because both sit inside Mindly, referral is smooth and shares information only with your agreement. The comparison guide explains the difference in more detail.

Common questions
Is therapy in Odia possible?
Not with a clinical psychologist at present, as none of them lists Odia. Dr. Dhritiman Das, a psychiatrist, consults in Odia, while therapy runs in English or Hindi.
Can I walk into a Bhubaneswar centre?
No. Mindly has no centre anywhere, and every session happens on video.
Would my parents be able to sit in?
Only if you want that. Some people invite a parent for part of a session; others keep it private.
What shows that therapy is helping?
After a few sessions your psychologist revisits your goals with you. Better sleep, less avoidance and a steadier mood tend to appear first.
Is a hostel room workable?
Often yes, given a quiet corner and headphones. Your psychologist can plan around noise and privacy with you.
