I was in depression and very anxious with self- harming tendencies and suicidal thoughts. Within 4 months, I am seeing a lot of improvement. The improvement is so vast that it almost feels like a miracle. This was a huge turning point. I want to thank Dr. Devyani for her support and her counselling.

I usually keep my thoughts to myself rather than voicing them out. But today is one of those rare moments when I feel compelled to share my experience.

I was searching for a good therapist and, after days of looking, I finally found one on Practo. “Tenth time’s a charm,” I told myself, hoping this would finally be it. I called the clinic, and the receptionist connected me to the therapist’s PR. I was insistent on getting an early session—I just wanted to get it done. *** *** ********* **** *** ***** **** *********** ****** ** **** **** **** ****** ****** ****.

After following up, she ******** ***** saying, "I had already told you the therapist is busy, so you won’t get an appointment." I let it go and didn’t argue. The next day, I messaged her again, asking for an update, and she repeated the same excuse: "She’s still busy." What was odd in all this was how persistent she was about an in-person session instead of video.

I decided to try my luck one last time. This time, I went back to Practo and booked a video session for 7 PM—it was available, after all.

The session started off okay. I was clear about the issues I wanted clarity on, and I had already told her that my concerns were manageable and that I had no intention of taking medication. But then came the pitch. She compared my situation to weight loss, saying you can’t lose weight with just diet or exercise alone—you need both. That’s when she subtly started pushing for a psychiatrist evaluation, which felt opportunistic given that my concerns were quite trivial. Yet saying – the final decision is yours. *** *** *** **** ******* *** ** *** ***** ******

She went on to say, “Medication won’t be for long—maybe one to nine months, max.**** ****** ****** **** ***** * **** * ************ ** ********** **** *** ******* ******** ** ********* To be honest, I didn’t take her suggestion to heart, *** *** ******* ***** **** ***** **** **** *********** She kept saying, "Don’t interrupt, let me finish," but ironically, she didn’t even analyze the issues I had shared or offer any real solutions. She was rushing through the session.

And then, midway, she said, "I have to wrap this up because I have an in-person appointment at the clinic.**** ******* ** ****** ****** **** ****** *** * ******* ** *** ******* *** ** ************ *** *** *** **** ***** *** *** *** ****** **** **** ************ *** ***** ************** However, she later said, I can add 5-10 mins to your next session. But the last 20 mins were total BS, baseless, and rushed.

1500 rupees down the drain, but I did walk away with a valuable lesson.

Now, the same assistant *** ******* ** ******* is following up, pushing for my next session.

I completely understand the importance of mental health awareness, but what truly disappoints me is how casually the words psychiatrist and medications are thrown around, as if they’re the default solution to every issue. Therapy should be about understanding, guidance, and emotional support—not just a quick route to prescriptions.

Dr. Devyani has helped me a lot to deal with my anxiety. I was very under confident before metting her but now I have started changing in a positive way****

Specific Concerns

1. Lack of Punctuality *** **************** It's disheartening to consistently experience delays, particularly the significant one-hour wait on November 12th. This lack of punctuality and respect for my time is unacceptable.***************** *** ********** ************ **** ********** ** ** ********* ***** ** *********** ***** ** ** ******* ********** ** ** ********* ****** ************ *** **** ****** ** ***** ****** **** *** **** ****** ** ** ********* **** ** *** ******* ****** ** ********** ********** *** ** ******** ** ****** ***** ********

3. Overemphasis on Personal Shortcomings: I feel that you have unfairly focused on my perceived shortcomings, such as my housekeeping abilities. This constant criticism, coupled with my husband's highlighting of these issues, has significantly eroded my self-esteem.

4. Disregard for My Values and Beliefs: Your assumption regarding my views ** ********* is both disrespectful and inaccurate. It's clear that you have not taken the time to truly understand my values and beliefs.******************* ** ** ********* ************ *** ********* **** *** ************ ********** ** ********* *********** **** ***** **** ******** **** ********** ** ********* *** ********** ********* ****** *** ******** ******* ** *********** ***** *** **************************** ************ *** ******* ********** **** ****** **** * ****** ** *** **** ** ********* ******** ***** ******** ** *** ********** ** * **** ** ******** ** **** ****** *** ************ Additionally, your dismissive remark when I said that he is technically strong felt me sad.its the true thing

9. Unhelpful Advice and Career-Focused Approach: Your advice to focus on my career, rather than addressing the underlying issues in our relationship, is both premature and unhelpful.

10. Lack of Attentiveness and Overlooking Important Details: Your failure to remember important details, such as the skill test I mentioned, demonstrates a lack of attentiveness and professionalism.

11. Ineffective Anger Management Therapy and ********* ******** * Your anger management therapy for my husband has been ineffective, yet you continue to point at me for his outbursts.

Approach to resolving the family dispute is overly simplistic. It disregards the significant financial loss and emotional trauma I've endured. I seek a solution that addresses these issues fairly and equitably.***** ****** ** ***** ****** ** ** ** *********** ** ********* ******** ***** ********** *** ***************** This is not a balanced approach to conflict resolution.

The issue of punctuality is a recurring problem. It's disrespectful of my time *** ********** * **** ** *****************

The fee structure is unclear and inconsistent. I've been charged extra for extended sessions, yet I've had to wait for significant periods. This is both unfair and frustrating.

lack of attention to detail, such as forgetting about the skill tests given by the both of us, undermines your credibility.

Anger management therapy has been ineffective. Your tendency to point out at me for my husband's outbursts is counterproductive and unfair.

I expect a more balanced and empathetic approach to our counseling sessions. I need a therapist who can address the root causes of our problems, rather than simply blaming me for everything. I hope that we can work together to find solutions that are fair, equitable, and respectful of both parties' needs.
