Booking a session at Lilac Minds is meant to be the easiest part of the process. There are three ways to begin — pick the one that matches how you'd usually start a conversation. The online calendar lets you choose a confirmed slot in under a minute, with a video link if the session is online and a confirmation email either way. WhatsApp suits people who want to message first and get a feel for things before committing to a time. The phone line is direct to Prarthana, with a callback within the working day if she's in a session. There's also a written form for those who prefer to send a note. Sessions are 45 to 60 minutes long, run Monday through Saturday between 4 PM and 8 PM IST, and cost ₹1,500. The first session is typically a little longer because the intake conversation needs space. Everything that's said in a session stays in it, in line with APA and ISCH ethical guidelines. If you're unsure whether therapy is the right next step, the 15-minute discovery call is free and carries no commitment — most people use it to find out whether a fit exists before booking a full session.
