About Anasa
A sanctuary for your soul — where mental health care feels safe, supportive, and stigma-free.
Our Foundations
From the Founders' Desk: A Vision for Serenity
At Anasa, we believe that mental well-being is the foundation of a fulfilling life. The heart of our organization beats with a simple, powerful belief: quality mental healthcare should not be a luxury reserved for the economic elite.
Founded by Esha Gusain, Anasa was born from an academic journey at Amity University and a deep-seated passion for social advocacy. We recognized a staggering disparity in the Indian mental health landscape — where those who need help the most are often priced out or met with clinical detachment.
Our Personality
Three values that define everything we do
Empathetic
We prioritize a strong therapeutic alliance where every client feels heard, validated, and respected throughout their journey.
Scientific
Every intervention is grounded in evidence-based frameworks, using psychometric assessments to ensure therapy is transformative and measurable.
Unfiltered
We value transparency and genuine human connection, replacing clinical detachment with honesty and heart.
What is Anasa?
“Anasa” is an Urdu word meaning serenity or peace of mind. In its Arabic roots, it also means “rendering familiar” or “spending time with” — mirroring the very essence of the therapeutic process: socializing with the self in a safe, familiar space.
We exist to create spaces where people feel heard, supported, and empowered to embrace their authentic selves.
Our Vision
Our vision is to nurture a world where mental health is embraced with openness, empathy, and dignity. A world where seeking therapy is not a source of shame, but a step of courage; where every individual feels safe to prioritize their inner well-being without fear of judgment.
Our Mission
Our mission is to provide accessible, high-quality psychological support and to break down barriers of stigma through awareness and education.
We do this by offering therapy sessions, hosting engaging workshops, and creating community programs that empower people to build healthier and more resilient lives. At Anasa, we are committed to walking with you every step of the way, fostering connection and growth.
The Journey of Anasa
From a vision of compassion to a movement of healing
Launched in the early 2020s, Anasa grew from a visionary project into a sanctuary for healing. We quickly embraced a hybrid model to ensure that no matter where you are, support is accessible.
A pivotal milestone was the launch of Project Raahat. In collaboration with the Rotaract Clubs of Delhi City Nirvana and Delhi Dynamic Leaders, this initiative allows us to provide pro bono and sliding-scale therapy to ensure that serenity remains attainable for all.
Every aspect of Anasa reflects our belief that healing is a journey — one that is deeply personal, but never meant to be walked alone.
