Start Therapy for Anxiety, Overthinking & Burnout for South Asian & First-Generation Professionals
Ventura, CA · Online in CA, IL & NY
Let's Start With a Conversation
If you’ve made it this far, something in you is ready.
You don’t need to have everything figured out before reaching out.
We start with a free 15-minute consultation. No pressure, no commitment. Just a real conversation to see if working together feels right.
If it does, we go from there.
What It's Like to Reach Out
Reaching out can feel like a big step, especially if you’re used to handling everything on your own.
You don’t have to be sure. You don’t have to be ready. You just have to start.
Schedule Your Free Consultation
“I wasn’t sure about starting therapy, but from the first consultation I felt understood. Working with Arati helped me get out of my head and feel more grounded in a way I didn’t think was possible.” — Previous client (shared with permission)
Not sure if you’re ready? Most people aren’t when they first reach out. That’s exactly what the consultation is for.
Therapy Fees & Investment
Many of the people I work with have been pushing through on their own for a long time. This is where things start to shift.
Individual Therapy (50 minutes): $250 Couples Therapy (50 minutes): $350
I’m a private-pay practice. No insurance billing, or limitations on your care.
If you have a PPO plan, I provide monthly superbills for potential out-of-network reimbursement.
