AltMindShift was established in the serene Himalayan town of Mcleodganj, Dharamshala, after being founded in Mumbai, where our Founder's journey in mental health began as early as 2008.
What started as a vision to make psychological wellbeing accessible and practical through online, on-the-go sessions back then, has since grown into a trusted organization supporting individuals, families, educational institutions, professional groups, workplaces, organisations and crisis centres alike.
Our journey mirrors the deeply transformative paths of our clients—evolving, adapting, and finding grounding in a profound natural setting, to provide a space of quiet reflection and expert ethical care.
AltMindShift offers care and support to help people navigate life with clarity, resilience, and hope—to revive joy and meaning—and actively works to reduce stigma around mental health, raise awareness, provide resources, and offer trauma recovery programs through its collaborative partnerships.
