In short
What does a psychiatrist cost in Mumbai?
Before the numbers
What makes psychiatric care cost more or less
Five things move the figure. None of them is a secret, so here they are in plain words.
Time
A longer appointment costs more than a short one. A 50-minute first meeting and a 30-minute review are different pieces of work.
Who you see
A consultant psychiatrist, a resident offering therapy support under supervision, and a psychologist do different jobs. The fee follows the job, not the person.
First visit or follow-up
The first visit is longer. The whole story is new, and it takes time to hear it properly. Later visits are usually shorter.
Online or in person
At Weave the fee is the same either way. What changes is your travel and your time off work.
One session or a package
Weave prices two packages as things in their own right. Their contents and their per-session figure are in the table below.
No fee at all
What costs nothing at Weave
Not everything at Weave has a fee. These are open to anyone, and you do not have to be a client to use them.
The Family Library
Plain-language guides for families, in five languages, free to read at the Family Library.
Group workshops
Free group workshops, held now and then, for the people we see and their families. Dr. Niharika Reddy leads them. There is more on the services page.
The emergency page
The emergency page carries crisis numbers in one place, open to anyone, at any hour.

What happens
What a first appointment is like
You do not need a speech, old reports, or clinical words. A few honest sentences are enough.
Before we meet
We settle the practical details on WhatsApp. For an online appointment, find a spot where you can speak privately.
We start with your life
We ask what has been happening, what matters to you, and what has helped or hurt so far.
We think out loud
We say what we are noticing and ask what you make of it. If medicine is relevant, we go through the choices and the trade-offs.
We agree one next step
You can ask, pause, or say no. Nothing is decided over your head.
Paying
Payment is by UPI once your appointment is confirmed. It is not part of a first message.
We reply within one working day. Weekend messages are answered by Monday.
Common questions
Questions people ask about fees
Is there a free first consultation?
No. Weave does not offer one, and there is no trial appointment either. Every appointment carries the fee listed in the table above.
Do I pay before or after?
After your appointment is confirmed. Payment is by UPI, and the payee reads Weave Psychiatry. You can send the screenshot back on WhatsApp. There is a payment page that walks through it.
Does the fee change if I meet online?
No. The fee is the same online and in person. What a video appointment spares you is the travel, not the fee.
Who will I actually see?
Dr. Niharika Reddy, MD Psychiatry, is the consultant psychiatrist and the clinician you see for a consultation. Dr. Wilfred D'souza is a psychiatry resident and the digital and educational lead. He offers Therapy Support under her supervision, and that is the one service he provides.
What if I cannot afford it right now?
If finances are tight, talk to us. Say it in your first message and we will talk it through.
Will insurance pay for this?
That depends on your policy and on what the regulator requires of it. We wrote a plain-language page on what the law and the regulator actually say.
How many appointments will I need?
We cannot say in advance, and any page that gives you a number is guessing. Some things settle in one or two visits. Others need a longer stretch. We review the plan with you as we go.
