Psychologist · Psychotherapist

I am Damber Raj Bhatta, psychologist and founder of Bhatta Psychotherapy. My purpose is to help you return to clarity, emotional freedom, and self-leadership — so you can live aligned with who you truly are.

Certified Clinical Trauma Professional Level 2 · Adult ADHD Coach · CBT — Beck Institute, USA · DBT — Linehan Institute, USA

Two paths: psychotherapy or psychological coaching

Choose the path that sounds closer, or answer three questions if you are unsure. Each route can still lead to a different recommendation based on your answers.

Start here

Do mood, trauma, panic, or sleep problems clearly disrupt daily life?

Work, relationships, or basic tasks — this is not a diagnosis.

On self-worth

Mr. Damber Raj Bhatta on self-worth — why “feeling enough” is often about recognition, not trying harder.

Is Damber the right person for you?

Fit matters more than credentials. Read both lists honestly — if the second one describes your situation, you deserve the right help rather than the nearest help, and we will say so.

Likely a good fit

  • Adults with trauma, PTSD or complex trauma (CPTSD) who want paced, safety-first work
  • Adults who suspect or have been diagnosed with ADHD — focus, overwhelm, executive function
  • Professionals and executives dealing with burnout, perfectionism and high-stress careers
  • Couples caught in a repeating conflict cycle, including partners in different countries
  • Nepali clients abroad who want therapy in Nepali, English or Hindi without explaining the culture first
  • People who are functioning outwardly but struggling privately

We would point you elsewhere

  • Anyone in immediate danger or active crisis — that needs emergency services tonight, not an appointment
  • People who need medication management only, with no interest in therapy — a psychiatrist is the right first call
  • Children under 14 — we work with teens from 14 and adults
  • Court-ordered or forensic assessments, which we do not provide
  • Anyone needing a clinician licensed in a specific US state or on a UK register
  • Active substance dependence needing medical detox — that comes first, and therapy afterwards

Two things worth knowing before you decide

We are psychologists, not psychiatrists. That means we do not prescribe medication. Where medication looks worth considering, we say so plainly and refer to a psychiatrist — and the therapy continues alongside it if you want it to.

Therapy is not emergency care. If you are in immediate danger, a crisis line will reach someone tonight; a therapy waiting list will not.

In Nepal, call the TUTH suicide hotline on 1166. Outside Nepal, use your local emergency number.

Still unsure whether this is the right service? Find your therapy path compares the options, or ask a question on WhatsApp before committing to anything — we usually reply within a few minutes during working hours.

Sessions take place in person at Anurag Marg, Kathmandu 00182, Nepal and by secure video worldwide.

“Dammar sir helped me a lot and provided very helpful feedback. I'm looking forward to the next session. If you are facing any kind of mental health challenges, please don't hesitate to seek support from Bhatta Psychotherapy.”

Setmore

“Finally I got diagnosed with ADHD after years. I have been getting treatment of anxiety which never cured my anxiety rather I got worse during last few years. Thanks to Bhatta sir who diagnosed and showed me a path to heal, I know it will take time but I am relieved to know, no more self criticism. Thank you again.”

Common questions

The questions people most often ask before making contact.

Before you make contact

  • No — Mr. is correct. Damber Raj Bhatta is a psychologist and psychotherapist with an MA in Clinical Psychology and is a PhD candidate. He is not a medical doctor and does not prescribe medication.

  • No. Psychologists do not prescribe. Where medication looks worth considering, we say so directly and refer to a psychiatrist, and therapy can continue alongside it. Many people do well with both.

  • English, Nepali and Hindi. Many clients abroad find it a relief not to have to explain Nepali family and cultural context from scratch.

  • Yes. Secure video sessions are available worldwide, including the US, UK, Canada, Australia, Europe, Japan and the Gulf. Times are arranged around your time zone when you book.

  • Fees are confirmed before your first full session rather than published online, because the right service and format differ from person to person. You can ask on WhatsApp before committing to anything.

  • That is a normal place to start. Read the fit section above, or take a free 10-minute clarity call on WhatsApp to talk it through before deciding. There is no obligation to book afterwards.
