Getting to know Aditi Rai

I’m Aditi Rai, LMHC-D, and the founder of Aura of Hope Psychotherapy, a New York–based telehealth practice supporting adults navigating anxiety, self-doubt, and the lasting impact of family and relational wounds. Over the years, I’ve had the privilege of working with clients from diverse backgrounds who are ready to understand themselves more deeply and create meaningful change. I care deeply about creating a space that feels safe, genuine, and free of judgment. Clients often describe me as warm, grounded, and easy to talk to. My role is to help you feel seen and supported as we explore what’s been heavy—while helping you reconnect with your inner strength, confidence, and capacity for healing.

What should a new client know about working with you?

My approach to therapy is deeply personal and collaborative. I integrate cognitive, mindfulness, and attachment-based approaches to help you connect with both insight and embodied awareness. I honor your unique story and pace, offering reflections and guidance with openness and curiosity. I listen to understand, help you make meaningful connections, and gently challenge patterns that may be keeping you stuck. Homework is always optional—tailored to your needs and designed to support growth between sessions.

What is your typical process for working with clients?

Your first session is a chance for us to get to know each other and begin exploring what’s been feeling heavy or unclear. We’ll talk about what brings you to therapy, what you hope to gain, and what has or hasn’t worked for you in the past. You can expect a calm, supportive space where you’re encouraged to show up as yourself—no pressure, no pretense. Together, we’ll start identifying the patterns and experiences that shape your present and set intentions for the work ahead.

Aditi is highly professional and personable, striking a balance between understanding your struggles, and not pushing you in a better direction. I’m always grateful for our sessions, which are both comfortable and insightful. I highly recommend her if you want to understand yourself and the world around you better.
Aditi is very helpful, highly emphatetic, too wise for someone that young. I like her approach towards dealing with your problems and her Homeworks are really life changing.
Aditi is so kind and genuinely wants the best for you. She creates a safe and supportive space and is always thoughtful and attentive. She is an amazing therapist who really knows what she's doing.
Aditi takes the time to get know you without judgement. She’s very patient and professional. Along the way she’ll provide you with the right blend of encouragement and empathy while challenging you to reflect in different ways. If you feel lost, she’ll provide you with perspective but not without rationality or reason.
I feel really comfortable opening up during our sessions, and I feel understood. These sessions have helped me reflect on things I hadn’t considered before, and I really appreciate that.
I was referred to Aditi by a friend when looking to start therapy. I've only recently started but I am very happy with my experience so far. Aditi is a compassionate and kind therapist who employs a collaborative approach in care for her patients. Before our first session, we had a short meeting to discuss my goals in pursuing therapy and she makes the effort every session to address those goals. She has been so easy to connect with from the first session which has made the process all the more productive and I really look forward to build on the tools she has provided me to grow as a human. I would also like to comment that I have a busy work schedule and Aditi was so accommodating in working around that schedule for our sessions.
Aditi is an amazing therapist, from the first phone call after I requested an appointment with her I could tell that she truly cares about her patients and genuinely wants to be able to help make a difference in their lives. Her support and advice has and continues to help keep me afloat through many difficult situations. Her unique ability to connect me with me on a cultural level and her expertise in treating generational trauma has really helped me feel supported and understood for genuinely the first time in my life. I am so grateful for Aditi and highly recommend her as a therapist.
Aditi is an excellent therapist who gives great insight and thoughtful advice on handling a wide range of issues. Sessions usually end with me feeling I'm better equipped to handle my stressors. There are also occasional moments where I may not fully understand the intent or thinking behind her suggestions, but would realize they were quite profound.
My meeting with Aditi was great! She took the time to listen to what I needed and how to best help me. She is open to trying different methods to best fit my concerns and issues. After over a dozen searches, I'm grateful to find someone who genuinely cares for my wellbeing.
Aditi is an amazing provider that is knowledgeable and takes time to listen to all your problems and offers tools and a fresh perspective! I feel so lucky to have found her!
I’ve been working with Aditi for over year an half now and the experience has been genuinely helpful. She creates a safe, nonjudgmental space to talk, while also asking the right questions to help me reflect and find solutions. I appreciate that she doesn’t just listen passively but actively engages in the conversation, which makes sessions feel productive. What stands out is her ability to strike a balance between being empathetic and challenging me when necessary, which has pushed me to grow. I won’t say every session is a breakthrough, but the overall progress I’ve made since starting therapy with her has been noticeable.
Aditi is probably my 4th or 5th therapist, and for the first time, I finally feel truly seen. She gets my perspective without judgment or shame, and that’s been such a relief. I’ve felt so empowered through our sessions. Aditi is kind, warm, and genuinely understanding, and she brings a sense of humor that makes it easier for me to connect with her. She’s always there when I’m struggling and genuinely celebrates my wins, big or small. I’ve learned so many helpful skills for managing my mental health and dealing with both work and personal challenges. Aditi is an incredible therapist, and I’m really thankful for all the support she’s given me.

Aditi creates a safe, non-judgmental space where you can openly discuss personal issues and work towards meaningful resolutions. She is incredibly supportive, patient, and skilled at helping clients navigate challenging cultural norms. I'm truly grateful to have found her and highly recommend her to anyone seeking a compassionate and effective therapist.
Aditi is amazing! She always makes sure that sessions cover what you want to be discussed, instead of only directing it the way she wants to. She has encouraged me to try coping and communication strategies that have strongly impacted how live my life. I would highly recommend establishing care with Aditi.
Such an incredible person and therapist! I have learned so much because of her and she is professional, kind and always in your corner!
Aditi Rai is truly a breath of fresh air! I’m very thankful that my search for a therapist lead me to her.

Aditi is a very well mannered therapist, her empathy towards issues be it small or big has amazed me in therapy with her. She made me realize a lot of Eureka moments in my life which I have positively implemented. I highly recommend her.
Aditi is a talented and most professional provider that I have worked with. Within a few sessions, I have made so many strides and continue to work with her. She is also very empathetic and supportive. Thanks, Aditi!
Aditi is such an excellent provider. She is so dedicated towards her clients well being and will go above and beyond for them. There were times when I was doing really poorly and Aditi recommended we ramp up our sessions. She was so willing to go the extra notch for me. She is also very flexible and responsive when reached out to. She is very eloquent and thoughtful and makes sessions really personalised. She also has a memory of a beast and recalls things I would mention casually or in passing and make sure it’s addressed. She helped me come out of a really bad depressive episode and gave me skills and the confidence to continue on with my life. I cannot appreciate and praise her enough.
Aditi has a caring, empathetic and sweet disposition about her. I was very comfortable discussing my addiction issues with her. She alway had suggestions that made sense that contributed to my recovery. Since my sessions with Aditi I have made changes that have stuck. I highly recommend Aditi to anyone that is struggling.
Aditi was my therapist for a long time and I always felt better after our session. She enabled me to gain a lot of insight in regards to a difficult period I was going through at that time. Her approach is truly holistic and I'd recommend her to anyone.
Aditi was pivotal in helping me navigate a very difficult series of events last year. She did an outstanding job helping me manage my thinking and ideate on potential, best solutions in a healthy and productive way. She created a safe and nonjudgmental environment and I appreciated her ability to approach our sessions objectively and with compassion. I highly recommend Aditi if you are needing additional professional support as she is extremely valuable in her practice.
Finding a therapist who truly understands your challenges and guides you through growth is invaluable, and I'm so grateful to have finally found Aditi who has helped me do exactly that. She has been instrumental in helping me address my anxiety issues by helping me recognize behaviors, understand root causes, and challenge my thinking through CBT. Her approach is both empathetic and empowering, creating a safe space for exploration and transformation. Thanks to Aditi’s guidance, I've made significant strides in my mental well-being and am so much happier for it. I highly recommend Aditi’s services to anyone seeking meaningful change in their lives.
Aditi is a wonderful therapist. She's kind, caring, and not in any way pushy. Instead, she gently guides you along the path to self-improvement. She's also incredibly fun to chat with.
Aditi is super thoughtful, professional and attentive. I appreciated working with her, and she supported me through learning more about myself and empowering me with different ways to think and care for my mental well being.
Aditi was a great counselor. She was caring and attentive. She understood and empathized with struggles and feelings I had as someone in recovery. She made herself available for emergencies via zoom or phone calls. She was always so professional in the way she conducted herself. I highly recommend her to any patient.
I was welcomed with open arms.. Aditi has an open and pure heart.. She helped me restore my well being and taught me that no matter what, my life is worth something.. I am a proud and functioning member of society today.. And I owe it all to the people that guided me through my own darkness.. I owe it to Aditi, for showing me that THERE IS LIGHT at the end of the tunnel.. We need more caring and loving human beings like Aditi.. She brings the brightest sunshine to the most of gloomy days.. Anyone who has come in contact with Aditi knows that.. I vouch for her ONE MILLION PERCENT.. She will always be a part of my life..
