FAQs
Why is your AI Psychologist free?
Because a first mental-health touchpoint should never be blocked by cost. The paid services (live sessions, premium reports) subsidise the free ones.
Do I need a subscription?
No. Everything free requires no sign-up. Live sessions are pay-per-session; the Elite Pass is optional.
Is EMI available?
Razorpay supports EMI on major Indian credit cards for larger purchases like programs and the Elite Pass.
Any refund policy?
Fees are final once booked. You get one free reschedule if you ask at least 48 hours before your session; if Dr. Sodhi cancels, you get a full refund or a free reschedule. Full terms: /refund.
