A Bit About Ektha
Hi! I am the Founder and CEO of Shakti Therapy and Healing Services based in Los Angeles, CA. As a ketamine therapist and South Asian therapist in Los Angeles, my practice uses a holistic and psychotherapeutic approach to help you realize that you are an integral part of the vast and complex web of life - that the health of the whole is intimately connected with the health of the individual. I believe you are not separate from nature, from yourself or even each other - that in a very real way, every one of your decisions and actions affects all of these realms. As a South Asian therapist in Los Angeles, combining both ancient Eastern and the most up to date scientific modalities, my work stems from a basis of connection - mind to body, human to nature, individual to community, physical to spiritual, past to present to future. Being a South Asian therapist in Los Angeles and a ketamine therapist, I specializes in working with three communities:​People who are looking to connect with their higher self and identify their purpose in life through holistic therapy.People of color to break the stigma around mental health. I am your South Asian Therapist in Los Angeles (Indian, Desi)People seeking to connect with their inner child and heart center through ketamine assisted psychotherapy.​During my free time you can find me hiking the many waterfalls in Los Angeles, punching out my stress with Muay Thai, or enjoying a glass of wine. Weekends has a time for me to renourish with acupuncture, beach picnics, and reconnecting with friends and family!
