Ms. Arpita is not just knowledgeable but also well trained in what she does. She's been of immense help and support to me. She actively works towards helping me help myself in tough times- which I think is great! I'd recommend her services with confidence to anyone who needs it. She's got the skills and the empathy and understanding it requires to be a mental health professional. She is super attentive and sincere in her efforts. Important to mention- whatever happens in the sessions, stays with the client and the therapist. View Google Review

Ms Arpita has been my therapist for the past 3 or 4 years, and I’ve seen a drastic change and improvement in my life and mental health over this time. She’s been integral to this, and has helped me tremendously overcome some tough challenges. I highly recommend Center for Mental Health to all my friends and colleagues, and highly recommend her. She is kind and gentle, and will help you on your journey! View Google Review
