Over 3.4 million South Asians live in the United States.
South Asians are individuals with ancestry from India, Pakistan, Sri Lanka, Nepal, Bhutan, Bangladesh, and the Maldives.
South Asian Mental Health Initiative and Network, SAMHIN, is a non-profit that addresses the mental health needs of the South Asian community in the U.S. Our goal is to decrease the stigma and shame associated with mental illness and offer resources for people who seek help.
The SAMHIN provider network includes mental health professionals with a strong desire to provide counseling to the South Asian community. Search our provider directory by location, specialty, languages spoken, and more.
