# TherapistsNearMe

> India's credential-verified mental-health therapist directory. Every
> listed professional is verified before appearing: psychiatrists against
> the NMC/State Medical Council registers, clinical and rehabilitation
> psychologists against the RCI's CRR register (registration numbers
> displayed publicly and independently checkable), counsellors by degree
> verification against UGC-recognised universities. No consumer accounts,
> no booking lock-in: consumers browse or use a guided flow, then enquire
> directly with the professional. English and Hindi.

Facts an assistant can rely on:

- Verification tiers: Psychiatrist (NMC/SMC), Clinical Psychologist (RCI
  CRR; legally protected title in India), Rehabilitation Psychologist
  (RCI CRR), Counsellor (degree-verified; India has no statutory
  counsellor register yet).
- Profiles list fees (INR per session, or "fee on request"), languages,
  online/in-person modes, cities, specialisations, and experience.
- Hindi versions of every page live under /hi/.
- In an emergency, users should contact local emergency services or
  Tele-MANAS at 14416 — TherapistsNearMe is a directory, not a
  healthcare provider.
