"I never thought I could feel this free."

"I spent years in therapy that never quite got it. At Shakti, they understood my South Asian background, my family dynamics, and the pressure I was carrying without me having to explain everything. For the first time, I feel like I'm actually healing, not just surviving."

Client 1

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.

Client 2

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!

Client 3

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.

Client 4

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.

Client 5

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!

Client 5

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.

Frequently Asked Questions

We've answered some common questions to help you feel more confident about taking the first step.

If you are a high-achiever who feels stuck despite your success, or if you're navigating the complexity of dual cultures (First-Gen/Immigrant), you are in the right place. We are a good fit if you are ready to go beyond 'venting' and want to use active tools (like DBT, IFS, CBT and Ketamine) to heal the root cause.

Both. We offer in-person sessions at our Culver City and Redondo Beach locations for a fully immersive experience.
For busy professionals, we also provide secure virtual therapy throughout California, so you can prioritize your mental health without battling LA traffic.

Yes. Traditional talk therapy often stays in the 'cognitive' brain (thinking), but trauma lives in the body. We work differently by combining top-down processing (CBT/IFS/DBT) with bottom-up somatic tools. We don't just talk about the problem; we rewire how your nervous system reacts to it.

Think of this as a low-pressure strategy call. We’ll discuss your current challenges, what hasn’t worked in the past, and your goals.
It’s not just a 'chat,’ it’s our chance to match you with the specific specialist on our team who is best suited for your personality and needs. You’ll leave with clarity on your next steps.

We are an Out-of-Network clinic. This allows us to provide specialized, private care without insurance companies dictating your treatment. However, if you have a PPO plan, you can likely get reimbursed. We provide a monthly statement ('Superbill') that you can submit to your insurance to get money back. We also accept HSA/FSA cards directly, allowing you to pay with pre-tax dollars.

We don't believe in endless therapy without a goal. Our mission is to impact a million lives! While everyone is different, our data shows that most clients report a meaningful reduction in anxiety and depression within 12 sessions and see a big change after 6 months. For complex trauma or deep personality rewiring, the work takes longer, but we track your progress every step of the way to ensure you aren't just 'venting,' but actually evolving.
