Hi i’m Aarushi A

I am a South Asian, BIPOC-identifying, Integrative, and depth-focused therapist. I draw inspiration from movement, contemplative practices, nature, and art to learn the fundamentals of creativity, inner wisdom, and interconnectedness. Trained as a classical dancer, I have fostered a sense of attunement with my body which inspired me to train as a somatic therapist. My work with and in nature, and self-practice of yoga inspired me to learn the value of stillness, awareness, and connection. This is what I try, and cultivate in a therapy room- a space of self-discovery to move through layers of human experience, where the inner worlds of my clients can be witnessed and be held in genuine presence, and transform into meaningful experiences. Having my roots in India, I bring an intersection between the Eastern and Western approaches to therapy and healing. I adopt a trauma-informed, culturally sensitive, and whole-person approach- incorporating mind-body, spirit and earth connection, Somatic therapy, Jungian psychology, attachment work, internal parts work, neuroscience, mindfulness, and insight-oriented practices into my work with clients. I believe that when we learn to come back to our bodies with relative safety, we begin to relate to ourselves in the present moment- that is where the journey of healing initiates. In addition to my work as a psychotherapist, I have completed 200 hours of Yoga Teacher Training with Meghan Currie, focusing on the science of breath and movement. I am deeply moved by and committed to creating a compassionate, collaborative space for you to explore your experiences, deepen your self-awareness, adopt attitudes aligning with your values, and cultivate lasting change.
