Born from Lived Experience. Compassionate Mental Health Care for Everyone — India’s #1 Mental Health NGO
Home of Beautiful Souls is the mental health NGO India needed — built in 2020 by Akash Ramchandani, an autistic psychologist with lived experience of trauma, ADHD, and C-PTSD, for everyone who deserved better care but couldn’t find it. Sliding-scale support for every identity, every story.

The Mental Health NGO that India Was Missing — Until We Built It
HOBS was founded in March 2020 with a simple but radical idea: mental health care should be built by the people who have needed it most, for everyone who needs it — regardless of identity, neurotype, orientation, or income. As the mental health NGO India chose for inclusive, survivor-led care, HOBS provides QAT-affirming, neurodivergent-friendly, and trauma-informed support under one roof.
Read our full story →Trauma-Informed
Every session is built around safety, trust, and your pace — never a clinical checklist. We understand that healing isn’t linear and we never rush it. Your nervous system leads; we follow.
QAT-Affirming
Our care moves far past mere tolerance. Guided by shared experiences, we fully affirm every identity, orientation, and expression. Your identity is your strength; we honor it.
Neurodivergent-Friendly
Our founder is autistic with ADHD — so we understand neurodivergent minds from the inside, not from a textbook. We adapt sessions to how your brain actually works. Masking ends at the door.
Inclusive by Design
Sliding-scale fees mean no one is turned away because of money. Flexible scheduling, regional language support, and care that respects your background. Accessibility isn’t an afterthought — it’s the foundation.
Safe & Confidential
Your privacy is unconditional — every session, every screening, every conversation. We never share your information without explicit consent. What happens in therapy stays in therapy, always.
Culturally Rooted
We understand family pressure, cultural shame, and what it means to struggle within a system that rarely talks about mental health. We don’t ask you to leave your culture at the door — we work within it with you.

“Akash has been extremely helpful, friendly, and considerate throughout my therapy journey. Simran, my peer support, has been a constant source of encouragement helping me improve every single day.”
“I literally have no words to describe the change after taking therapy from my clinical psychologist. They helped me navigate real life challenges. Post therapy, I feel more resilient and confident.”
“The place is LGBTQIA++ friendly. The sessions are full of laughter and sometimes even crying. Some are lighthearted and some are very deep. HOBS manages each session perfectly.”
“Home of Beautiful Souls came to my aid when I needed it most. In today's times when no one has time to simply listen, they came with a friendly yet professional approach. Highly grateful.”
“The organization runs dedicated programs for individuals dealing with mental disorders, offering counseling, awareness workshops, and community support networks.”
