Psychiatrist Outpatient Services (OPD)

Psychiatrist OPD offers daily outpatient services led by seasoned psychiatrists who are experts in mental health care. As a volunteer or intern, you’ll have the chance to observe consultations, understand diagnostic processes, and witness personalized treatment planning. These sessions offer invaluable insights into patient care, from initial assessments and recommended tests to tailored treatments. If you’re eager to learn about the intricacies of psychiatric care in a clinical setting, our OPD will be an immersive experience that will deepen your understanding of mental health practices.

Psychotherapy Services

Psychotherapy  is a cornerstone of our mental health services. This transformative method empowers individuals to address behavioral challenges, heal from trauma, and navigate life’s complexities. As a volunteer or intern in psychotherapy, you’ll witness firsthand the profound changes this therapy can bring to individuals grappling with mental health concerns, daily stressors, or trauma. Each session is a collaborative journey, where the therapist and client work together to foster positive change.

Within psychotherapy, we provide diverse therapeutic services, including:

Expressive Art Therapy (EAT)

Experience the healing potential of creativity with Expressive Art Therapy. In this role, you’ll help facilitate sessions that encourage clients to explore their emotions through art forms like painting, music, and dance. Here, the focus is on the creative journey, not the outcome, making it a powerful tool for non-verbal expression and emotional healing. Working alongside therapists, you’ll learn how art can open pathways to self-discovery and resilience.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

CBT is a transformative approach that helps clients shift negative thought patterns and enhance clarity in challenging situations. By observing CBT sessions, you’ll gain insights into how this therapy assists individuals in developing healthier responses to stress, depression, anxiety, and more. CBT is especially effective for those dealing with trauma-related conditions, and your involvement will deepen your understanding of its impactful techniques.

Sound Healing

Sound Healing uses therapeutic soundscapes to bring balance to the mind, body, and spirit. As a volunteer, you’ll help set up sessions where clients experience calming vibrations that promote inner harmony. This role is ideal if you’re interested in exploring holistic approaches to mental health that incorporate both physical and emotional healing.

Pottery Healing

Pottery Healing combines mindfulness with the tactile art of shaping clay, helping clients find calm and cultivate personal growth. In these sessions, you’ll assist individuals as they discover the therapeutic effects of pottery, which helps them connect with their inner self through a meditative process.

Nature-Based Therapy

Nature-Based Therapy taps into the healing power of the outdoors, offering clients a sanctuary for self-discovery. This role is perfect for those who believe in the restorative impact of nature. Volunteers help guide outdoor sessions, facilitating clients’ journey toward well-being amidst the serenity of the natural world.

Psychological Testing & Assessment

Psychological Testing & Assessment  is a comprehensive service that provides a well-rounded view of an individual’s mental and emotional health. Interns and volunteers will work alongside psychologists to assist in conducting assessments that may include formal tests, questionnaires, surveys, and interviews. From learning disorders to trauma evaluations, these assessments are essential tools that help tailor treatment plans. Your involvement will offer practical experience in the meticulous process of psychological assessment and interpretation.

D-addiction Services

Our D-addiction program is designed to help individuals overcome addiction through a blend of medical and psychological support. Here, volunteers play an important role in aiding the therapy team during sessions, providing essential support in recovery-focused activities. You’ll gain exposure to both the emotional and physical aspects of addiction treatment, offering valuable insight into the journey to sobriety.

Community Outreach Program

Join our Community Outreach Program and take mental health support beyond our center’s walls. Through workshops, public awareness campaigns, and collaborations with local organizations, we aim to make mental health resources accessible to all. In this role, you’ll have the opportunity to participate in outreach initiatives that increase awareness, encourage open conversations about mental health, and build a supportive community. This is an ideal role for those who believe in the power of mental health advocacy.

Training and Workshops

We regularly conduct training sessions and workshops tailored to current mental health needs. Our programs include Mental Health Ally training, which empowers individuals to support those struggling with mental health concerns.
