Psyhub

What Psyhub does

Psyhub, operating formally as Psyhub Brain and Behaviour Clinic, is a privately-held psychiatric day care and counseling center headquartered in Anna Nagar, Chennai, India. Founded in 2020 by Dr. N.R Nappinnai Seran (Ph.D in Psychology, 17+ years clinical experience), the clinic serves individuals with mild to moderate psychiatric conditions, neurotic psychological issues, marital and relationship distress, and child/adolescent behavioral or learning difficulties. Its core offering combines a structured psychiatric day care program (10am–3pm, Monday–Saturday) using cognitive retraining, living skills training, social activities, and game-based therapeutic exercises with one-on-one counseling delivered both in-person and online via audio/video sessions lasting 45–60 minutes. Individualized treatment plans are built on psychometric assessments covering intelligence, ADHD, personality, learning disability, and autism. Psyhub Academy, a wholly-owned subsidiary registered under the MSME Act, extends the business into professional education by offering certificate courses and internships in counseling, marital therapy, cognitive therapies, trauma, grief, and BPD/DBT, targeting psychology students and practitioners.

The business operates on a professional-services revenue model with three streams: individual counseling sessions (advance payment, pay-as-you-go), day care fees, and Academy course fees; pricing is not publicly disclosed. The go-to-market motion is community-led rather than paid-marketing-driven, relying on the founder's media visibility (Raj TV, Vikatan), college lectures, community awareness events, and a network of institutional referrals from the Family Court Chennai, Meenakshi Medical College, SRM College of Arts and Science, and SCARF. Customer segments span individual consumers, court-referred clients, psychology students/professionals (for Academy), and government-linked referrals (Family Court, Puzhal Prison/Social Welfare Board). The company employs approximately 10 people and operates from a single physical site, with no disclosed external funding and no expansion into additional locations.
