Built on Lived Experience

"I am a neurodivergent — an autistic adult with ADHD and C-PTSD, all clinically diagnosed. It took me nearly a decade to find the right therapy, get the right diagnosis, and find the right dose and combination of medicines.
There are still days I struggle. Not because I'm not trying hard enough — but because the current structure isn't built for me.
So I built Home of Beautiful Souls Foundation for others — a mental heath organization built by and for people with lived experience."

The Story Behind India's Leading Mental Health Organization
✦ A comic story — narrated by our founder through the HOBS mascots
I built HOBS Foundation around this ideology — and my personal experience. Here's what that experience taught me about what the system gets wrong, and how we built something that gets it right.
Therapy helped. But something was still missing.
✦ Narrated through our HOBS mascots
Therapy helped. Meds reduced the intensity. But I still lacked connections, resources, and safety outside them. So I built India's first mental health community.
At HOBS, we don't just bring trauma-informed professionals — we build a community of people with lived experience and peer support around every person.
The system prescribed medication — but skipped every step that should come before and after.
✦ Narrated through our HOBS mascots
Nobody warned me about the weight gain. The numbness. The fog. Nobody checked if something physical was causing it first. I found out the hard way.
Being neurodivergent helped me see exactly where the system was broken.
✦ Narrated through our HOBS mascots
"Medication didn't touch my executive dysfunction. But body doubling — simply having someone present — changed everything. The system had no framework for that."
So, I built what I wish existed- India's Most Affordable and Inclusive Mental Health Organization- Home of Beautiful Souls Foundation
✦ Narrated through our HOBS mascots
A community where people feel seen, supported, and safe enough to grow. A place where healing happens together — not in isolation.
Trauma-informed therapy. Neurodivergent-affirmative care. Queer-affirmative therapy. Community. Peer support. Body doubling. People with lived experience who get it — not from a textbook, but from living it.
What This Journey Taught Us
Four truths that shaped everything we built at HOBS.
Social connection is one of the strongest predictors of mental health outcomes.
Co-regulation and human presence help the nervous system feel safe.
Neurodivergent and LGBTQIA+ affirming care is not optional — it's essential.
Peer support, body doubling, and belonging create healing that lasts.
We're building India's largest mental health community — because every person deserves a mental health organization India can be proud of.
- ♥Safe spaces to belong
- ♥Support that understands your story
- ♥Growth that lasts together
As the most Inclusive Mental Health Organization
We gurantee that every session, every interaction, every decision at HOBS is guided by six non-negotiable values.
We understand that trauma shapes mental health. Every therapist at HOBS is trained to recognise, respect, and respond to the impact of trauma — and never re-traumatise.
We celebrate different ways of thinking and being. Autism, ADHD, and other forms of neurodivergence are treated as differences to honour — not disorders to fix.
HOBS is a fully LGBTQIA+ affirming space. Our therapists use QAT frameworks that validate all gender identities, sexual orientations, and relationship structures without question.
Mental health doesn't exist in a vacuum. We bring deep awareness of Indian cultural contexts, family systems, and socio-economic realities into every care plan.
Your story stays with us. We uphold strict confidentiality, a zero-judgment policy, and create spaces where you can speak freely and be truly heard.
Mental health is connected to mind, body, relationships, and community. We address the whole person — not just symptoms — through integrated, evidence-based care.
