Terms & Conditions

By accessing this Site and scheduling consultations, you affirm that you are at least 18 years of age and legally competent to enter into these binding Terms.

Minors & Adolescents: Therapy or counseling for individuals under 18 years of age requires the explicit, written consent, formal authorization, and active engagement of a parent or legal guardian throughout the care process.

Dr. Ashika Mehta provides specialized individual psychotherapy, emotional resilience coaching, parenthood & motherhood workshops, and corporate mental well-being sessions.

• Intake & Clinical Suitability: An initial consultation evaluates clinical compatibility and scope of care. Dr. Ashika Mehta reserves the professional right to recommend alternative medical facilities, specialized psychiatrists, or in-patient centers when a client's clinical needs exceed outpatient capabilities.
• Client Autonomy: Clients retain full autonomy regarding their participation in therapy. You possess the right to pause, adjust, or discontinue therapy at any point, with open discussion encouraged to facilitate healthy therapeutic closure.

Therapy slots represent reserved professional time. To ensure fairness to all clients, the following scheduling guidelines apply:

• Pricing Clarity: Professional session fees, workshop fees, and organizational retainers are communicated transparently prior to confirmation. Invoices are payable in advance or on the date specified.
• Payment Channels: Payments are processed securely via approved digital payment processors, bank wire transfers, UPI, or major payment cards.
• Refund Policy: Fees for completed therapy sessions or consultations are non-refundable. For workshops and digital cohorts, refund eligibility is governed by the specific registration guidelines established for that event.

Clinical confidentiality is protected in accordance with professional medical ethics and applicable statutory laws:

• Information disclosed during therapy sessions is never commercialized, sold, or shared for promotional purposes.
• Confidentiality exceptions are restricted exclusively to mandatory legal safety standards (imminent bodily harm, child/elder abuse reporting, or binding judicial subpoenas), as outlined in our Privacy Policy.
• Telehealth Responsibilities: Virtual therapy sessions are conducted over encrypted, secure video platforms. Clients agree to join sessions from a quiet, secure, private room to protect their personal privacy and confidentiality.
