Psychiatrists & Psychologists Together
Depression can look and feel different for everyone. That is why we have both clinical psychologists and psychiatrists under one roof. They work closely together whenever needed, so you can get the right kind of support at every stage of your care.
You Get the Benefit of a Second Opinion
Your treatment does not depend on just one person’s expertise. A senior clinical team also reviews your diagnosis, treatment plan and your progress, giving you a second opinion built into your care.
We Understand You Before your Treatment Starts
Most therapists get to know you gradually over several sessions. We get to know you before your treatment even begins. We conduct structured conversations and use clinical tools to understand you more clearly before we begin your treatment.
More Options Beyond Therapy and Medication
Sometimes standard treatments such as medication and therapy may not provide significant improvements. In such cases, we use brain stimulation treatments such as rTMS, which is highly effective when other treatments have not worked.
This is What Your First Session Will Look Like
You Meet 2 Experts for 90 Minutes
In your first appointment, you will meet both a clinical psychologist and a psychiatrist. They will take the time to understand how you have been feeling, along with changes in your mood, sleep, energy, motivation and daily life.
You Get Clarity on What’s Going On
Depression can feel like sadness, exhaustion, numbness, irritability or simply not feeling like yourself. We help you understand what is behind these changes and what kind of support you may need.
You get a Treatment Plan Made Just for You
You will get a treatment plan built around your symptoms, your routines and your goals. It may include therapy, practical lifestyle changes and medication only when you need it.
You Keep Getting Support as You Improve
Getting better takes time and steady support. We track your progress, review what is helping and adjust your treatment along the way, so you never have to figure it all out by yourself.

Transformation Stories at BetterPlace!
“My daughter was diagnosed with depression at just 13, and we tried a bunch of different doctors before finally finding the right one. Now she’s 20 and doing really well. She’s super comfortable with Dr. Siddharth and her therapist, and I’m happy because I get regular updates and can track her progress in real-time.”
“I’d tried almost every clinic in Delhi but no one seemed able to cure my depression. Then Better Place happened and my life truly changed for the better. And it all started when Dr Siddharth recommended I try rTMS, this really fancy technology that not many clinics have but Better Place worked wonders for me and i feel so much better. The doctors were very gentle also.”
“A little backstory, i have had depression for over 12 years. I had tried all therapies and medications but my depression kept coming back. I have known about the rTMS but i was scared, it sounded scary. But when i took it at BetterPlace i didnt even know what i was scared for? It was so smooth, i just felt a bit tingling on my scalp and after 12 long years i finally feel good again!”
Frequently Asked Questions
When you visit BetterPlace for the first time, you will speak to our in-house clinical psychologists who will take a detailed case history and understand your chief complaints. The psychologist will then discuss your case with our psychiatrist who will share a diagnosis and recommend the appropriate assessments and treatment plans.
Our preferred approach is for you to meet both because each treatment plan is a combination of psychotherapy and psychiatric services. Our goal is to have you recover faster, and stay well. However, you can meet just one of them too, if you wish to do so.
No, in the first session, we will thoroughly understand your case, experiences, mood patterns, and symptoms. From there our psychiatrists will diagnose you using the latest diagnostic tools, they will coordinate with the in-house psychologists to discuss a treatment plan, and only then your treatment will start.
If your symptoms start affecting your daily functioning, like hindering your personal development and professional performance, you should consider seeking professional help. Symptoms like persistent feelings of sadness, hopelessness, irritability, changes in sleep or appetite, or loss of interest in activities you once enjoyed, can indicate a need for you to visit a psychiatrist or a psychologist. Usually, if these symptoms persist for more than 2 weeks, it’s time to visit a mental health professional.
Our approach to Depression is to get you better, faster, rather than spending years giving you small moments of relief. Our clinically proven assessments help us effectively define your condition and provide fast symptom relief. And through continued support, in case it’s difficult for you to stay on track with your medication or if you motivation to continue therapy.
Yes, during regular working hours, you can call our front desk at +91 977 399 6888, and they will connect you with the doctor handling your case.
Therapy sessions are 100% confidential and there is 0% judgement. The therapist will never share the details of your case with any professional who is not part of your treatment plan.
The BetterPlace clinic is open from 9:00 am – 5:00 pm on Monday, Wednesday, Thursday, Saturday and 9:00 am – 7:00 pm on Tuesday, Friday
There’s no one-size-fits-all treatment in mental health – each person needs a unique treatment plan, so the recovery period can also differ. However, most patients start seeing significant improvement in their day-to-day functioning and quality of life within 2-3 weeks of treatment. In fact, for certain advanced psychiatric treatments like accelerated rTMS (for Depression, OCD and Addictions), patients can start seeing results in a few days.
Our psychiatrists and psychologists provide both online and offline consultancy. However, some specialised therapy techniques like relaxation therapy, rTMS or tDCS can only be administered in person, at our clinic.
