A Psychology Clinic in Baner, Pune Built Around Privacy and Calm
SafeMind Studio is a psychology clinic on Baner-Balewadi Road in Balewadi, Pune. We are a team of psychologists who see adults, young people and couples in private, quiet rooms, in person or online. You can walk in without a referral, a diagnosis, or a crisis.
A psychology clinic is different from a hospital department or a psychiatrist’s clinic. Here the focus is talk-based care: understanding what you are going through and learning ways to cope or change. If medication might help, we will say so and refer you onward. To see how our one-to-one work is structured, read about psychology counselling, or meet the psychologist team. You can also learn more on our About page.
- Private consultation rooms
- Walk-in friendly, no referral needed
- Open Tuesday to Sunday, 10 AM to 9 PM
What Is a Psychology Clinic?
A psychology clinic is a practice where psychologists provide assessment, counselling and psychotherapy for emotional, behavioural and relationship concerns. The work is built on conversation, observation and structured techniques rather than prescriptions.
The setting matters. A calm, private room, unhurried appointments and a team that knows each other make it easier to speak openly. That is what we have tried to build at our Balewadi studio.
Do I Need a Referral to Visit a Psychology Clinic?
No. You can book directly with us. If you are unsure whether you need a psychologist, a counsellor or a psychiatrist, tell us what is going on when you call, and we will point you in the right direction. You can also read how to find the right counsellor in Pune.
Psychology Clinic vs Psychiatrist vs Hospital
People often wonder who to see. In general:
- A psychologist works with talk-based therapy and counselling. Psychologists in India do not prescribe medicine.
- A psychiatrist is a medical doctor who can diagnose conditions and prescribe medication.
- A hospital or emergency department is the right place for urgent medical or psychiatric emergencies.
Many people benefit from a mix. We work alongside psychiatrists and doctors and will refer you when it helps.
What We See People For at Our Psychology Clinic
These are the concerns people most often bring to the clinic. For more detail, see our pages on depression, couples therapy, child psychologist and therapist support.
Low mood and depression
Persistent sadness, low energy, or losing interest in daily life.

Child and teen concerns
Behaviour, school stress, social struggles or emotional difficulties.

When Should You Visit a Psychology Clinic?
You do not need to wait for things to fall apart. It may be time to book a visit if:
- Worry, sadness or anger is affecting your sleep, work or relationships
- You have been coping alone for a long time and it is wearing you down
- Friends and family have noticed a change in you
- You are going through a big life change and feel unsteady
- A child or teen in your family is struggling
- You would simply like professional support

Meet the founder
Dr. Dhanashree Kadam
Founder | SafeMind Psychology Counselling Clinic | B.H.M.S | Certified Psychology Counsellor (NHCA) | Certified in CBT and Neuroplasticity | MBA in Healthcare & Hospital Management
My journey towards SafeMind has been a process of self-development. As an empath, I have always connected strongly to others and their struggles, caring to help them navigate through their difficulties. Yet, before being able to reach out to others, I needed to learn to listen to myself, set my boundaries, understand and nurture my needs. Only then have I been able to dedicate myself fully to serving others. With over ten years of experience, I have logged hundreds of hours listening to people’s struggles while endeavouring to create a judgement-free space for people to express their deepest fears and darkest thoughts. Over these 10 years, I have worked with children, teens, and adults, addressing various complex issues, including relationship and parent-child problems, ADHD, depression, emotional difficulties, and a sense of feeling stuck in one’s life. Drawing from my vast experience and employing a number of therapeutic approaches, such as CBT, DBT, EFT, NLP, and knowledge of neuroplasticity, I offer my clients a truly integrated approach to solving their problems. I believe that being in therapy should be a comfortable, safe experience, where the client is an active participant in the process rather than being told what to do by the therapist. Today, I am humbled and truly grateful for the ability to help people all around the globe, both locally, at SafeMind in Balewadi-Baner, Pune, and internationally, via online therapy. My mission with SafeMind is to help you return to yourself, to your true self!
