About Us
Welcome to Therapeutic Dwelling, a nurturing haven born from the unbreakable bond of a mother-daughter duo dedicated to mental health and wellbeing. Founded by Dr. Dinu Shibu Mathew, a seasoned doctorate in child and parent counseling with over 30 years in counseling, and her daughter, Ms Simi Susan Shibu, a dynamic therapist specializing in child and youth therapies. We blend generations of wisdom with fresh, innovative approaches. Together, we’ve created an inclusive space where therapy, counseling, and transformative courses meet you right where you are—offering short-term relief or long-term growth. In the heart of Mumbai, our virtual and in-person sessions welcome everyone, honoring diverse stories, cultures, and journeys toward healing.
