What our verification badge means
Every Indian platform says its therapists are "verified". We show you exactly what we checked — including the registration number, which you can look up yourself.
Psychiatrists
We verify an active registration with the National Medical Commission or a State Medical Council against the Indian Medical Register, plus the MD/DNB Psychiatry degree and photo ID. The registration number is displayed on the profile.
Clinical Psychologists
"Clinical Psychologist" is a legally protected title in India. We verify an active CRR registration with the Rehabilitation Council of India — including its validity date — plus the M.Phil/Psy.D and photo ID. The CRR number is displayed on the profile.
Rehabilitation Psychologists
Rehabilitation Psychologists are registered on the same RCI CRR register under their own professional category. We verify the active CRR registration and the M.Phil/PG Diploma in Rehabilitation Psychology, and display the CRR number on the profile. Their badge reads "Rehabilitation Psychologist" — never "Clinical Psychologist", which is a distinct protected title.
Counsellors
India has no statutory register for counsellors yet, so we do the diligence ourselves: a Master's degree in psychology from a UGC-recognized university, a minimum experience floor, and a screening conversation. These profiles are labelled "Counsellor — degree-verified" and never "Clinical Psychologist".
Check it yourself
Psychiatrist registrations can be searched on the NMC's Indian Medical Register; clinical and rehabilitation psychologist CRR numbers on the RCI register. If a number on our site ever fails to check out, tell us — that profile comes down while we investigate.
