About
Jyoti Nadhani

Licensed Marriage & Family Therapist, California

My Journey

I grew up alongside my older brother, who had cerebral palsy and autism. From him, I learned early the power of presence, compassion, and simply being with another in their struggles. Later, as an immigrant navigating the stress of building a new life, while raising a family and running a business. I came to know resilience not just as an idea, but as lived experience.

Before becoming a psychotherapist, I co-founded a software company that was later acquired.
That chapter of my life taught me about pressure, leadership, and the cost of success. Ultimately, though, I discovered that my true calling was not in technology, but in helping people heal and grow.

Today, I bring this real-world experience into the therapy room, alongside advanced training in relationship therapy, trauma healing, somatic experiencing, mindfulness, and psychedelic-assisted approaches.

Professional Background

I started my career in business after receiving a MBA and then co-founding a software company in 2004, which was eventually acquired.

I then began my career in counseling. Since completing my Masters Degree in Counseling, I  have worked with adults, couples, children, adolescents and their families in organizations, and now in my private practice.‍

My Perspective

I believe healing must include the whole person mind, body, and spirit. Therapy with me is both practical and profound: we work to ease immediate pain while also uncovering deeper patterns that may be holding you back.
My style is warm, collaborative, and non-judgmental. I listen with presence, offer honest reflection, and help you access the inner wisdom you already carry. Clients often tell me they feel both deeply supported and gently challenged to grow.

Professional Training & Certifications

My professional development reflects my commitment to integrative care - addressing mind, body, and spirit:

Related Interests

I also integrate insights from Nutritional Psychology, which explores how food and mental health are deeply connected. These practices support me personally and inspire the way I help clients find calm, focus, and well-being.
