Arati Patel
Introduction
Arati Patel is a South Asian therapist specializing in anxiety, perfectionism, and burnout for high-achieving professionals and South Asian adults. If you're the one everyone else leans on, and you've quietly been falling apart, this is the work. I help people who look fine on the outside finally deal with what's actually going on: the inner critic that won't quit, the pressure to meet impossible expectations, the exhaustion of performing competence while running on empty. As a first-generation South Asian therapist, I understand the specific weight of cultural expectations, family loyalty, and the particular flavor of anxiety that comes with being driven and deeply self-critical at the same time. You don't have to explain yourself here. My approach draws from mindfulness, somatic therapy, and IFS, grounded, practical, and tailored to you. I work with adults in-person in Ventura, CA and via telehealth throughout California, Illinois, and New York. Ready to see if we're a good fit?
