About The Institute

India's Premier Institute for Intensive Short-Term Dynamic Psychotherapy (ISTDP)

Dr. Mehta's Institute is India's only certified training institute dedicated to teaching Intensive Short-Term Dynamic Psychotherapy (ISTDP) through a structured, internationally aligned curriculum. Founded by Dr. Sona Mehta, the institute was established with a singular vision—to bring world-class psychotherapy training to India while upholding the highest standards of clinical excellence, ethics, and scientific rigor.

At Dr. Mehta's Institute, learning extends beyond lectures. Our programs are designed for psychiatrists, psychologists, psychotherapists, counsellors, and mental health professionals who seek to develop advanced therapeutic skills grounded in evidence-based psychodynamic practice. Every course combines theoretical understanding with intensive experiential learning, enabling participants to confidently translate knowledge into effective clinical practice.

Our curriculum follows internationally recognized principles of ISTDP training, providing Indian clinicians with access to education that reflects global best practices while remaining relevant to the unique cultural and clinical realities of mental healthcare in India.
