These 5 Best Psychologists in Bali Helped Me Finally Feel Like Myself Again

Experience and Credentials: I looked for psychologists who are licensed and have several years of experience handling adult stress, anxiety, and life transitions. I checked their credentials online and confirmed their licenses.

Specializations: Some psychologists focus on anxiety, depression, trauma, or couples counseling. I prioritized those whose expertise matched a variety of needs, based on their websites and professional profiles.

Therapy Approach: I checked whether these psychologists use approaches I resonate with—like CBT, mindfulness, or holistic methods—so sessions would feel effective and natural. This info usually came from their online descriptions or introductory consultations.

Session Flexibility and Packages: I looked for psychologists offering flexible schedules, online consultations, or packages for multiple sessions through their websites, making it easier to fit therapy into my busy life.

Client Reviews and Testimonials: I read what past clients had to say about their experiences on Google Reviews, forums, and social media. Supportive staff, approachability, and tangible results were key factors for me.

I used to think living in Bali would mean constant peace. I mean, who would have thought that stress would still find me here, with its beautiful sunsets, beaches, and that promise of “no worries”?

But the truth is, being an adult comes with stress no matter where you are. Deadlines, responsibilities, overthinking—they all follow you, even to an island that feels like paradise.

That’s why I finally permitted myself to talk to a psychologist here in Bali. And honestly? It was one of the best decisions I’ve made for my mental health. 

So, if you’ve been thinking of getting support too, I’ve put together a list of the best psychologists on the island. Hopefully, this makes it easier for you to find someone who fits your needs. 

How much do psychologists charge per session in Bali?

Psychologists in Bali usually charge from IDR 500,000 to 1,500,000 per hour per session, depending on the psychologist’s experience and type of service. Services often include individual therapy, couples counseling, stress management, and life coaching.

At Denpasar Mental Health Centre (DMHC) and Wellness, you’ll find support for nearly every aspect of mental well-being. If you’re dealing with stress, anxiety, or depression, individual counseling can provide guidance and coping strategies. 

For those navigating relationship challenges, couples and family therapy help improve communication and resolve conflicts. DMHC also offers psychiatric evaluations for professional assessments, giving you clarity on mental health conditions. 

I genuinely like that you can also connect with a psychologist online through their telehealth if you feel like face-to-face sessions can be tricky. 

Beyond one-on-one sessions, their wellness workshops provide group learning. It’s very convenient because it allows you to explore mental health strategies in a supportive environment.

However, they only have weekday sessions starting at 12 noon, which can be tricky if you prefer mornings or need to fit therapy around work or other commitments. On top of that, pricing details aren’t posted online, so you’ll need to reach out.

Pros

  • Offers individual counseling
  • Focuses on couples and family therapy
  • Provides psychiatric evaluations
  • Offers telehealth sessions
  • Has wellness workshops

Cons

  • Operation starts late on weekdays
  • No online pricing

Passionate and a good listener

“I went to Bali from Jakarta to heal from my hectic and stressful livestyle and also from a bad abusive relationship. I had to try healing mentally and physically even spiritually. Somehow I ended up finding Bu Rasmin and she has helped me a lot even I stay longer in Bali because I want to see her until I’m healed. I got really bad chest pain that I don’t understand what the cause was, I went to spiritual healing, medical check up, turns out it was psychological. Nuts right? I didn’t know trauma can cause physical pain but turns out it is scientific. Bu Rasmin helped me through therapy to release my trauma. It hurts so bad for the first few days. Just imagine like a dentist, poking through your gum to clean a bad infection. But then I learned to control my trauma. I need more sessions though, that was my childhood trauma and I still have lots more 😅. Been making good progress so far. Overall, recommended. She’s so passionate and a good listener.”

Incredibly prompt and efficient listener

“DMHC was incredibly prompt and efficient in scheduling counseling sessions that fit my busy schedule. My counselor, Ni Luh Rasmin (she got advanced degree by the way, S.Psi and M. psi), is an amazing psychologist who excels in building self-confidence and addressing anxieties. With an empathetic and understanding approach, she guided me to overcoming fears, enabling me to cultivate healthy interpersonal relationships and empowering me with the confidence to build my career. I truly appreciate Ibu Rasmin’s counselling for the profound positive impact it has had on both my personal and professional life. A big thank you to Ibu Rasmin for her work in helping me process emotions and unlock my potential. She is very caring and truly a blessing in my life.”

My relative and I decided to check out Dian Selaras Psikologi upon hearing that this long-standing practice in Denpasar is trusted for its professional yet empathetic approach to mental health. 

As a matter of fact, the team here is often described as approachable, without losing the sense of expertise.

With over twenty years of experience, the clinic specializes in helping individuals, couples, and families navigate challenges through counseling, psychological assessments, and even hypnotherapy. 

You can expect sessions led by licensed psychologists under HIMPSI and the Bali Health Department, so you know you’re in capable hands. 

What I especially like is the clinic’s emphasis on confidentiality and comfort, making it a supportive space for those seeking guidance.

The only drawback is that some clients felt sessions could be too formulaic. The structured “homework” assignments, like journaling tasks or step-by-step exercises, may feel rigid or overwhelming for those who prefer a more conversational therapy style.

Pros

  • Over 20 years of experience
  • Licensed psychologists
  • Wide range of services
  • Offers hypnotherapy
  • Prioritizes a confidential environment

Cons

  • Structured style of therapy

Truly wise and listens sincerely

“I consulted here for the first time. Dr. Hari is truly wise, listens sincerely, and provides helpful advice and exercises. I feel much better after coming here. By the way, don’t be intimidated by the very affordable prices, especially since the quality of the sessions is excellent. You can check the prices on the website. Thank you so much for your help, and God bless Dr. Hari and the Dian Harmonious team.”

Friendly and relaxed psychologist service

“Friendly and relaxed psychologist service. She listens very well, tries to help without being patronizing. I’m grateful to be able to receive assistance here. Make an appointment in advance so you can schedule an appointment with an available psychologist.”

3. STIFIn Brain

If you’re curious about personality-based approaches to self-development, then STIFIn Brain might just be what you’re looking for. 

I like their affordable sessions. They have personal or couple sessions for around IDR 600,000 per person, and a Group/Family Session for IDR 550,000 per person.

Their practice specializes in the reliable STIFIn method. It’s a psychological profiling system using fingerprint scans to reveal your dominant intelligence type and how quickly you think, learn, and interact.

I also love how the process is quick and the delivery is seamless. A simple fingerprint scan generates your personalized report, and a trained consultant walks you through your results, spotlighting strengths and growth opportunities. 

However, some may find the insights a bit generalized if they’re expecting a deep clinical-level assessment. Since the STIFIn method focuses on personality and innate tendencies rather than diagnosing mental health conditions, the results can feel more like broad life guidance. 

Pros

  • Affordable options
  • Specializes in the STIFIn method
  • Efficient and seamless process

Cons

  • No clinical-level depth
  • No diagnosing

Brain test exceeded my expectations

“My experience with the STIFIn Brain test exceeded my expectations. Initially, I took the test just to try it out based on a friend’s recommendation, and I was introduced to Ibu Sukma. After going through the process, I found that the results were remarkably accurate in reflecting my behaviors. Ibu Sukma explained everything in great detail, making it easy to understand and turning it into a valuable session for personal development, both in terms of work and personal life. Thank you.”

Very helpful and very competent

“Thank you STIFIn Brain Denpasar.  This test is very helpful in determining the future of children and how to communicate with them. It is very necessary to do a family test to find out how STIFIn circulates in our family. The promoter was very competent and explaining in the private session really helped our understanding.”

With burnout becoming increasingly common these days, I began exploring psychological practices that focus not only on personal well-being but also on workplace dynamics. 

That’s how I came across Aget Development. I genuinely value how their practice combines psychology and HR development consultancy. That means they don’t just handle individual cases—they also help companies with recruitment, psychological testing, and employee training. 

I also love how their services are structured to support both personal growth and organizational needs. 

For instance, companies can book them for research projects, HR policy development, or tailored workshops. On the personal side, they provide psychological consultations and standardized assessments, so individuals can also benefit.

But there’s a drawback: their focus leans heavily toward organizational psychology, so if you’re expecting in-depth clinical therapy, the scope may feel limited. It’s a bit disappointing that their services are designed more for workplace assessments than long-term one-on-one counseling.

Pros

  • Focuses on strong workplace psychology consultancy
  • Offers corporate HR services
  • Provides personal assessments

Cons

  • Limited clinical therapy options
  • Geared toward workplace needs

Professionals in their field

“Previously, I carried out PKL in Aget and was taught by people who were professionals in their field. The experience taught starts from how to find outbound locations according to client needs, finalizing plans so that outbound can be carried out well, carrying out outbound with teamwork and much more. Thank you Aget for the experience.”

Very detailed and more reliable

“Yesterday I took the aptitude test package, really checked it in very detail. I was tested using many psychological tests, which were said to measure various aspects, so that the results were more reliable. When the results came out, I consulted with the psychologist regarding the test results. Thank you so much to the psychologist, Dhika, who was patient and answered many of the questions, and even talked about it for more than an hour. Haha…. I know more about my interests and talents now, I’m more confident in making career decisions, I feel more confident too. ABSOLUTELY RECOMMENDED!!!! The price can’t lie, it’s just a little more expensive, but it’s worth it, it’s really checked comprehensively and not carelessly like when you took an interest test when you were in high school.”

5. Pradnyagama

It’s not only adults that need care, kids do too, and sometimes even more than we realize. When I started looking into options for children’s mental health, I came across Pradnyagama, and it really stood out. 

Their team feels approachable and calm, which makes the space less intimidating for kids who might be nervous about therapy. 

Beyond that, they design workshops for schools and organizations, keeping them engaged with practical exercises rather than just lectures.

What sets them apart is their child development assessments, which give structured insights into a child’s growth, learning patterns, and emotional needs. They also offer career planning assessments, which can be especially helpful for teens figuring out their strengths and future.

However, their clinical services lean toward short-term, structured sessions rather than long, exploratory therapy. If you’re looking for deep-dive, weekly counselling over months, you might find the format a bit limiting. 

Pros

  • Welcoming for first-timers
  • Kid-friendly and non-intimidating space
  • Conducts workshops for schools and organizations
  • Offers career planning for teens
  • Offers child development assessments

Cons

  • Short-term focus only
  • Limited deep-dive therapy

The results were very good

“Initially I was told by a relative about this place, at that time my child had an unusual tantrum and had difficulty adapting to his new environment when he just started elementary school, I was confused and almost desperate, I met Mrs. Retno Psychologist at Pradnyagama, I started consulting and my child did several psychological tests, the results of which my child had indications of ADHD, therapy was started for 1.5 years the results were really very good, my child experienced a change in attitude that was better than before, now he can listen to directions, can adapt, no longer gets angry, cries and tantrums for no reason, his focus has greatly improved, he can sit and listen to the teacher in class until school hours are over, therapy was carried out for 1.5 years with 3 evaluations until now my child I Gede Gentayu Kameshwara has been declared PASSED. Thank you very much Pradnyagama, Mrs. Retno, and Ms. Dea. It was truly a very valuable experience for me.”

Comfortable and clean space

“Comfortable & clean place. Ontime. What makes it different from other places, the therapists here patiently provide answers & explanations of my questions that arise regarding child development, and provide encouragement so that we parents remain enthusiastic about making children more independent. Thank you. Always be enthusiastic :)”
