About Shakti
You've read the books. You've done the podcasts. Maybe you've been in therapy before. You understand your patterns, you just can't seem to change them. That's not a discipline problem. It's a nervous system that learned to survive and never got the message it was safe to stop.
We treat your nervous system, your
story, and your culture, together.
Our Method: We integrate evidence-based tools: Somatic Therapy, DBT, IFS, and CBT with Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy (KAP) for deeper breakthroughs.
The Results: We don’t guess; we track. Using data-driven tools to measure your growth, our clients report meaningful reductions in anxiety and depression in just 8 to 12 sessions.
Integrative & Science-Backed
We go beyond traditional talk therapy. By combining evidence-based modalities with cultural wisdom to help you reclaim your balance.

Data-Driven Results

“I accomplished more in 3 sessions here than 3 years elsewhere.”
“For the first time, I feel like I’m actually healing, not just surviving.” — Priya M., The Burned-Out Tech Lead
"I never thought I could feel this free."
From my very first session I felt I had finally come across someone that was willing to understand and not judge. Shakti Therapy, not only made me feel safe, but also led me on to my self-love journey. With therapy I uncovered years of trauma and pain. I was guided to realize I have my truth which needs no one else’s validation. Today, I am able to put myself out there due to all my sessions with Shakti Therapy. My therapist was warm, kind and welcoming. I truly believe if I had not approached Shakti Therapy, I wouldn’t be the person I am today.
Working with Ektha and Shakti Therapy has been one of the most impactful and fulfilling experiences of my life. She is exceptionally good at what she does. I went to her with specific things I wanted to work on; not only have I seen drastic growth in those areas, I have also learned and grown in ways I never thought possible. In hindsight, working with Ektha is easily one of the best decisions I have ever made in my life. Ektha has made me a better person today than I was before I started working with her, and I thank her for that every day; so here it is to keep it forever – thank you, Ektha!
I honestly have never had a therapy session until I reached the age of 35. No lie, I was skeptical. I always believed therapy doesn’t work or thats just something for rich people LOL. I’d like to consider myself more of an extrovert although, I only open up to people to a certain extent. I found myself a little lost after losing my job and experiencing issues in my long term relationship. After sessions at Shakti Therapy & Healing Services, this was just what I needed. My therapist helped me to understand myself better and learn how to love myself. You will learn lots of things about yourself that you probably didn’t know.
I moved here to Los Angeles from the opposite side of the country in the middle of the pandemic. Many of my unanswered questions came from a sense of confusion or “homelessness” in my identity, being a first-generation American with one side of my family from Eastern Europe, and the other from Southeast Asia, and I found that one of Shakti Therapy's specialties was racial & cultural identity, something I had no idea that therapy could even cover. The expertise in cultural intricacies finally gave me much-needed closure after I had spent years being unable to understand, and sometimes not wanting to understand.
In my culture, therapy was introduced to me as a "waste" of time & money. When I first reached out to Shakti Therapy I was looking for a "quick solution". I was in a tight spot, embarrassed to be looking into therapy, deeply depressed & unable to function. My journey with my therapist cracked open parts of me that I buried behind a tough immigrant-minded exterior of "pushing on". My therapist quite literally introduced to me the kind of self-love that requires unraveling generational & personal trauma instead of shoving it into a forgotten corner. Today I don't suffer with depression and I am happy!
As a young Black woman, in my community, therapy is seen as a taboo. We’re usually told to take your issues to God or just pray about it. With Shakti Therapy, I was able to combine my faith & learn tools to control my anxiety. My therapist helped me to understand that it's okay for me to have anxiety & I can control it and I have ultimate power over my life. My therapist definitely changed my life in understanding that other people’s opinions or their actions towards me is not a reflection of me. This experience in therapy was life changing.
