Getting to know Aarti Khambhaita

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker based in Orange County, California, and I work with clients statewide via telehealth. I am of South Asian (Indian, Desi) descent and a first-generation college graduate. I work with adults and specialize in anxiety, stress, depression, life changes (parenthood, new job, wedding planning/newly married), and first-generation/ child of immigrant parents. My approach My approach to therapy varies based on the needs of each client I work with. I most frequently use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, Psychodynamic Therapy, and Solution-Focused Therapy. These modalities help me and the client build a shared understanding of their reality and allow us to work together to chart a path forward. My focus I have found that my style and approach are a good fit for young adults and adults who may be dealing with the challenges of life transitions and stressors. This often takes the form of anxiety, depression, stress, and struggling to adjust. I work to help my clients navigate challenges and build their mental health “toolbox” developing skills that would allow them to feel better about themselves and develop a more positive outlook on life. My communication style My communication style is calm, accommodating, and personable. I want my clients to feel comfortable talking with me about anything, and I pride myself on my ability to listen without judgment. My journey to mental healthcare My journey to becoming a therapist started with my own mental health journey and finding a therapist who understood the South Asian culture and how it contradicted the American culture. I was always described as a “helper” and always felt a sense of fulfillment when helping others. Becoming a therapist for me was a way to make a positive impact on individuals and communities, as well as empower them to know it is OKAY to be NOT OKAY.
