What we see in Chennai

Chennai has notably strong family and community networks, which provide real protection against isolation and also make privacy difficult and stigma more consequential. Academic achievement carries particular weight, and engineering and medical entrance pressure begins early and lasts years. Many clients describe seeking therapy discreetly because of how quickly information travels within community networks — one reason online sessions from home are especially valued in this city.
