I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with over 15 years of experience working with children, teens and adults. While my clinical experience is quite broad, I especially enjoy helping individuals navigate life changes, including pregnancy, postpartum and parenting. As a Filipina American raised in an immigrant family, I am keenly aware of how cultural identity can shape one’s experiences and beliefs. As a parent of young children myself, I can fully appreciate the challenges that come with raising a family, integrating two cultures and developing a parenting approach that reflects those bicultural values. In therapy, I use a strength-based approach, drawing tools from different types of therapy. My goal is to empower my clients and help them learn coping strategies, find both solutions and acceptance and develop self compassion and resilience.

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.
