About me

I’m Arati Patel, LMFT (Licensed Marriage & Family Therapist), and I specialize in helping high-achieving professionals and South Asian adults navigate anxiety, perfectionism, and relationship stress. With a background as both a therapist and a mindfulness/yoga teacher, I weave together holistic, evidence-based approaches to support mind, body, and heart. Many of my clients are balancing cultural expectations, professional demands, and personal relationships. Together, we create space to quiet the overthinking, soften self-criticism, and reconnect with what feels authentic and fulfilling. I offer online therapy in California and Illinois and in-person sessions in Ventura, CA. My style is warm, collaborative, and culturally attuned—I believe healing happens when you feel truly seen and supported. If you’re ready to set down the weight of anxiety and step into a calmer, more grounded way of living, I’d love to connect.
