Surviving in Silence with Ektha Aggarwal, LCSW

Surviving in Silence is worse than suffering in silence. Ektha Aggarwal, LCSW and CEO Founder of Shakti Therapy & Healing Services in Los Angeles. We met a South Asian Mental Health Gala she hosted and decided to show up solo. It was the best decision ever!

In today's episode we dive into the specific barrier for Brown Women obtaining mental healthy support. the barriers from culture, family and most importantly themselves.

Ektha Aggarwal is the top 3 South Asian therapists in Los Angeles and Founder of the group practice Shakti Therapy and Healing Services. Shakti Therapy offers a holistic and psychotherapeutic approach to help clients realize that we 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.

Ektha believes we are not separate from nature, from ourselves or even each other - that in a very real way, every one of our decisions and actions affects all of these realms. Combining both ancient Eastern and the most up to date scientific modalities, Ektha’s work stems from a basis of connection - mind to body, human to nature, individual to community, physical to spiritual, past to present to future. In her practice Ektha also offers a variety of treatments from crystal healing, psychedelic assisted therapy and other holistic interventions. Her goal is to help her clients acknowledge, learn from, and release the suffering that might be within them. Her approach focuses on addressing the root cause, rather than simply working through easing the symptoms of suffering.

Ektha has published her work with ScienceDirect, Good Indian Girl blog, Brown Women’s Health, and Women’s Web. She also speaks at seminars and participates in corporate panels across the nation.
