Medicine solved this decades ago. Psychology in India still hasn't.
Every year, thousands of psychology graduates complete their master's degrees and begin seeing patients with no supervised clinical bridge, no mentorship, and no structured casework. In medicine, this would be unacceptable. In Indian psychology, it has become standard practice.
"MindGuild exists to build the professional standard layer that India's mental health system is missing."
We are building India's first residency-informed psychotherapy training ecosystem, selective by design, supervision-led in structure, and deeply grounded in Indian socio-cultural realities. Our mission is not to teach another course. It is to shape the next generation of clinically mature, ethically grounded, and intellectually rigorous psychotherapists.
