Psychiatry that weaves together medication, therapy, and meaning — built by two people who know what it means to need it.
The name is literal. Two doctors whose lives crossed and intertwined. Their work with people — woven into something larger than appointments and prescriptions. Every dimension of mental health care — clinical, personal, philosophical, communal — held together in one fabric.
Weave exists because we believe healing happens in layers.
You carry different parts of yourself — some you show the world, some you hide, some you've forgotten. Becoming whole means making room for all of them. Not fixing yourself. Reconciling yourself.
The things that happened to you, the life you're living now, the future you're reaching toward — these aren't separate chapters. They're one narrative. Making sense of that narrative is part of how people heal.
No one recovers alone. Family, friendships, community — these relationships shape how you feel and how you grow. We work with people inside the context of their lives, not removed from it.
There's a moment in good psychiatric care when something shifts. You stop feeling like the only person who has ever felt this way. You start sensing that your experience — painful as it is — connects you to something larger than yourself. The journey from isolation to that quiet recognition: I am part of this. That's where lasting change lives.
These four layers aren't a framework we invented. They're what we've seen work — in our own lives and in the lives of the people we care for.
Wilfred grew up in Ajara, a small town in Maharashtra. He was never diagnosed with ADHD as a child. He got what most Indian kids with undiagnosed ADHD get instead — scolding from family and teachers. Labels like "lazy" and "not living up to potential." He was bullied. He had few friends. Over time, low self-esteem and anxiety settled in and grew into full episodes of depression. In college, he struggled with addiction. Relationships were hard.
None of this made sense to him at the time. It just felt like failure.
It was during his psychiatry residency that things clicked into place. He started learning — not just textbook psychiatry, but why his own mind had worked the way it did for years. He built resilience. Through research, he saw what actually works in mental health care. And — just as importantly — he saw the gaps. The corners people fall through. The care that should exist but doesn't.
Psychiatry became personal for him. Not in a wounded-healer way. In a practical way. He decided his job was to prevent the exact kind of suffering he went through. To bring people evidence-based care — grounded in research, on par with the best in the world — and to do it with the understanding that only comes from having been on the other side.
What he brings to the room: Lived experience that sharpens his clinical eye. Research rigor that keeps his care current. A coach-forward energy rooted in one belief — the thing holding you back can become the thing that drives you forward.
Clinical focus: ADHD, personality disorders, addiction, and mood disorders. His primary modality is Schema Therapy, supported by CBT, DBT, and Motivational Interviewing.
Niharika grew up in a household where performance was everything. She wanted to be every teacher's favourite. She wanted to top every exam. She was among the top students in her state in her MD examination. By most measures, she was succeeding.
The shift came during residency. Sitting with people in real distress, she realized there was more to life than winning. More to care than competence. Despite her academic record — or maybe because of it — she began forming unusually strong bonds with the people she worked with. The rigour that made her excellent on paper made her thorough in the room.
She connects especially with women navigating difficult relationships and life transitions. She was almost married once. She chose to walk away because she wanted more from a partnership. She believes many people share that feeling — wanting more and not knowing if they're allowed to ask for it. She made that the work of her life.
On one side: deep therapeutic work with relationships, women's mental health, children, and families. On the other: research into TMS and advanced modalities — making sure the people she works with have access to every option that could help.
What she brings to the room: Academic brilliance paired with genuine warmth. A space where you are not judged — and where wanting more is not a problem to solve but a strength to build on.
Clinical focus: Relationships, women's mental health, children, and families. Research interests in TMS and neuromodulation.
You've probably met one of two versions of psychiatry.
The first gives you a prescription in ten minutes and books you for next month. The second offers only talk therapy and avoids medication even when it would help. Neither is complete.
Integrative psychiatry means using everything that works — matched to the person in front of us. Medication when it's needed. Therapy that goes beyond surface-level coping. Attention to relationships, lifestyle, meaning, and purpose. Not one tool applied to everyone. The right tools, chosen carefully, for you.
We don't believe in pill-mill psychiatry. We also don't believe medication is something to be ashamed of. We believe in honest conversations about what will actually help — and then doing that, together.
At Weave, "integrative" also means caring for people as whole human beings — not as a diagnosis, not as a set of symptoms, but as someone with a history, a family, a community, and a future worth building toward.
