About the Doctor

Trusted Psychiatrist in Jammu & Katra — A Decade of Healing.

Hello, I'm Dr. Varun Gupta. I chose psychiatry because I believe mental illness deserves the same compassion, science and dignity as any other branch of medicine. Over ten years and thousands of patients later, that belief has only deepened.

My practice spans de-addiction, mood disorders, trauma, schizophrenia, and child & adolescent psychiatry. But more than any diagnosis, I treat people — students who can't get out of bed, mothers who feel invisible, fathers fighting addiction, couples on the edge, teenagers no one is listening to.

"The right help, at the right time, changes everything."

Trained at premier institutes

MBBS followed by MD in Psychiatry from one of India's leading medical colleges, with continuing fellowships in CBT and trauma care.

Patient-first philosophy

No judgement. No rush. Every session is shaped around your story, your pace, and the life you want to build.

Evidence-based protocols

Treatment combines globally validated psychotherapy, modern pharmacology and family involvement — never one-size-fits-all.

A lifelong learner

Active member of the Indian Psychiatric Society, regularly trained in newer modalities including EMDR and rTMS.

Frequently Asked

Honest answers to the
things you wonder.

View all FAQs

Absolutely. Everything discussed in our sessions is strictly confidential. No information is shared with family members, employers, or any third party without your explicit written consent. The only exceptions are situations where there is an immediate risk to your life or someone else's — in which case we would act in your best interest, and we would always tell you first.

Not necessarily. Many conditions respond well to therapy alone. Whether medication is recommended depends on your specific diagnosis, the severity of symptoms, and your personal preferences. If medication is suggested, we will explain the options clearly — how it works, what to expect, and any side effects. You are always part of that decision. We never prescribe without discussion.

It depends on what you're dealing with. Some people feel significantly better after 6–8 sessions. Others with more complex histories or chronic conditions benefit from longer-term support. We reassess regularly and never keep you in treatment longer than necessary. The goal is always your independence, not your dependence on us.

Yes. We work with children, adolescents, and adults. For younger patients, we adapt our approach to be age-appropriate and always involve parents or guardians appropriately — balancing the child's need for a safe, confidential space with the family's need to be involved in care.

Yes, with your consent. Family sessions can be incredibly valuable — helping loved ones understand what you're going through, improving communication, and building a support system around your recovery. We also offer sessions specifically for family members of people with addiction or serious mental illness.

Please reach out immediately. You can WhatsApp us at +91 70061 30495 or call iCall (India's mental health helpline) at 9152987821. If you or someone else is in immediate danger, please go to the nearest hospital emergency department. You do not have to be alone in this.

We treat a wide range of mental health conditions including depression, anxiety disorders, OCD, PTSD, bipolar disorder, schizophrenia, ADHD, addiction and substance use disorders, sleep disorders, sexual health concerns, and child and adolescent psychiatry. If you are unsure whether we can help with your specific situation, please reach out — we will be honest with you.

Yes. We offer secure video consultations for patients who prefer to speak from home, are outside Jammu, or have mobility or privacy constraints. Online sessions are as effective as in-person for most presentations. To book an online consultation, simply WhatsApp us and mention your preference.
