Dr. Shyam Mithiya Psychiatry Clinic

My clinic is located in the Harekrishna Building, which is right near the Telephone Exchange in Ghatkopar. It’s a fairly well-known spot in the area, so most local rickshaw drivers know where to drop you off. The building itself is older and has that lived-in feel, which I think makes it less intimidating for people coming to see a psychiatrist. I’ve been working out of this office for some time now. It’s a quiet space where people can talk about what’s on their mind without a lot of outside noise. Ghatkopar is a bustling place, but once you step inside the clinic, things slow down a bit. I don't have a team of receptionists; usually, I'm the one answering the phone when it rings. The furniture is a bit dated but comfortable. I try to keep the atmosphere relaxed. We don't have a fancy website or a lot of brochures. People mostly find out about me through word of mouth or by seeing the sign on the building. Sometimes the lift in the building is a bit slow, so if you're in a hurry, the stairs might be faster. I see patients throughout the week and try to be flexible with the timing. It’s a small, personal practice. I believe in just sitting down and having a conversation. The location is convenient for anyone taking the train or living around the Ghatkopar area.
