Integrative psychotherapy draws from multiple evidence-based therapeutic modalities rather than being locked to a single approach. At this practice, the modalities we work with include Narrative Therapy, Schema Therapy, Compassion-Focused Therapy, Inner Child and Parts Work, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, somatic approaches, and Vedic-Jungian frameworks — among others. This integration is not random. It is guided by your ReAlign Profile, a personalized assessment that identifies which approaches will best serve your specific patterns, history, and what is trying to emerge. The goal is identity realignment, not symptom management alone, and no single modality is sufficient to hold that work.

Three things. We work at the level of identity, not symptoms alone. We bring 45+ years of combined therapeutic experience across two practitioners who have collaborated for 17 years. And we work from within the cultural reality of urban Indian life — social pressure, the high-achievement cost, NRI dislocation — not from an imported Western framework. Our programs are structured around your specific therapeutic needs, not a fixed session count.

Dr. Vinaya Prabha and Dr. Himani Upadhyaya work as one integrated team. Both practitioners are trained in the ReAlign Within™ framework and bring the same therapeutic philosophy and depth to their work. Depending on your needs and the nature of your program, you may work primarily with one therapist, with both at different stages, or in a collaboratively held structure. This is discussed openly during your Discovery Call so the arrangement feels right for you.

Most therapy that does not work either addressed symptoms without their root, or was not the right therapeutic fit. Our ReAlign Profile assessment is designed to understand your patterns in depth before the work begins — so we are working on the right thing, not the presenting surface. And if we are not the right fit for you, we will tell you honestly and, where possible, point you toward who might be.

Many of our clients came to us unsure too — high-functioning, managing well on the outside, but aware that something quieter and harder to name was not right. You do not need a diagnosis, a crisis, or certainty to begin. You only need enough curiosity to have one conversation. That is what the Discovery Call is for.

Early sessions focus on building your ReAlign Profile — a personalized therapeutic assessment of your patterns, their origins, your strengths, and what is trying to emerge. This becomes the shared compass for your entire therapeutic journey. From there, you move through the REALIGN Framework at a pace that your nervous system can safely hold.

Confidentiality is the foundation of everything we do. Nothing you share in sessions leaves this space without your explicit consent. There are narrow ethical and legal circumstances where confidentiality has limits — specifically, where there is serious risk to your safety or the safety of another, or where disclosure is required by law. These limits are explained fully in the Consent and Confidentiality Agreement you receive before your first session. Outside of those circumstances, what you share here belongs entirely to you.

Before any therapeutic work begins, you will receive a clear written Consent and Confidentiality Agreement. This covers the nature of the work, the boundaries of the therapeutic relationship, confidentiality and its limits, session structure, and what you can expect from us and from the process. We ask that you read it carefully and raise any questions before signing. We think of this not as paperwork but as the first act of care — making sure nothing about this process is ambiguous or unspoken.

No. This space is built on the understanding that the things we most need to examine are often the things we have been most conditioned to hide — from others and from ourselves. Whatever you are carrying — the decisions you regret, the patterns you are ashamed of, the feelings that do not make sense, the parts of yourself you have never said aloud — this is exactly the space they belong in. Judgement has no place in this work, and no place in this practice.

This depends on the program that is right for you. Our programs vary in depth and duration — from focused symptom-management work to sustained identity realignment over a longer arc. Some clients experience meaningful reorientation within the first few sessions. Others are doing structural, longer-term work. The right program for you is identified during your Discovery Call and the early assessment phase, and is always discussed collaboratively.

Ending well is as important as beginning well. In the ReAlign Within™ framework, the therapeutic arc has an intentional shape — and the integration and closure phase is built into every program. You will not be in therapy indefinitely, and you will not be left to figure out when to stop. As the work progresses, we monitor together: What has shifted? What feels integrated? What does life look like now compared to when you first came in? Readiness to end is not an absence of difficulty — it is a different relationship with it. We will know together.

If you are in immediate distress, please reach out to your psychiatrist, a crisis helpline, or emergency services directly. This practice offers structured integrative psychotherapy — it is not a crisis intervention service, and we are not set up to provide emergency support. If you are in a difficult period but not in acute crisis, we encourage you to reach out. Sometimes the hardest moment is also the one that makes beginning possible. We will tell you honestly in your Discovery Call whether this is the right moment and the right fit.

Typically once per week in the early and middle phases of your program, tapering to fortnightly in the integration phase. Pacing is always discussed with you and adjusted as the work progresses.

All our sessions are conducted online, on a secure platform. This means we are accessible to professionals across India and to NRI clients internationally, without any compromise to the quality of the therapeutic work.

Raga Therapy is one of several techniques within our integrative therapeutic approach. It uses the emotional architecture of Indian classical ragas to support nervous system regulation and emotional release — particularly when patterns are held somatically and are not easily reached through conversation alone. Whether it is introduced into your work depends on your ReAlign Profile and where you are in the therapeutic process. It is one tool in an integrated stack, not a fixed part of every program.

We take therapeutic fit seriously, and we hold it as an ongoing conversation rather than a one-time decision. If at any point the work does not feel right — for you or for us — we will name it openly. Ending or re-evaluating a therapeutic relationship is a legitimate and sometimes healthy part of the process, and we will always handle it with care.

Yes. We work with couples and families at the level of identity and relational pattern — not simply communication skills. We also work with individuals whose primary concern is relational: grief over a relationship ending, difficulty in intimate connection, family pressure, or the patterns that repeat across every relationship they have.

Yes. We work with clients referred for therapy by their treating psychiatrist, in active collaboration and with the client's consent. All diagnosis and medication management remain with the psychiatrist. We do not guarantee specific outcomes; we commit to the depth, quality, and integrity of the therapeutic process. Please note: this practice does not provide crisis intervention or emergency psychiatric services. If you are in crisis, please contact your psychiatrist, a crisis helpline, or emergency services directly.

Yes. Both Dr. Vinaya Prabha and Dr. Himani Upadhyaya have direct experience of high-achievement environments — the performance identity, the pressure to remain competent, the cost of never being allowed to not know. This is not assumed knowledge for us; it is built into the core of how this practice understands the people it works with.

We work with NRI clients internationally and have a specific investment structure for clients based outside India. Details are discussed during your Discovery Call, where we can also address questions about time zones, payment methods, and program structure.

We do not offer standalone sessions as a meaningful entry point into integrative psychotherapy. What we offer instead is a complimentary Discovery Call — which gives you a genuine, unhurried sense of our approach, our team, and whether this feels like the right fit, before any commitment is made.
