Arati Patel, MA, LMFT, CYT-500

As an integrative and mindfulness-based therapist, my goal is to help people feel more at ease, learn to be more present and let go, and embrace the sensation of calm. I have a background as a yoga teacher and have been a mindfulness and meditation practitioner for over a decade. My passion and heart lay in the union of depth psychology and somatic psychology. I combine Eastern and Western psychology by incorporating traditional talk therapy with somatic practices such as breathing exercises, movement, maybe even some yoga postures or meditation (depending on what you are open to and what would be appropriate for you). Let me help you move towards a more connected, rich, and grounded sense of self and meaningful life. As a culturally-sensitive therapist I offer a caring, non-judgmental safe space where we can work together to help you find balance and move towards a sense of wholeness in your life. I strongly believe that the therapeutic process is a collaborative process and tailor my approach to you and your needs.
