Accepting Clients

Hi, I’m Kavita Patil, a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist dedicated to guiding individuals toward clarity and esteem in their lives.

Licensed Marriage & Family Therapist in Santa Barbara, CA

About My Clients

I love working with individuals and couples who are ready to look gently and honestly at the patterns that keep them stuck, and who want more ease, clarity, and connection. You don’t need perfect words - just a willingness to show up. All identities and relationships are welcome.

My Background and Approach

If you’re feeling anxious, stuck in the same arguments, or worn down by people-pleasing, codependency, and blurred boundaries, you’re not alone. Maybe a breakup shook your footing, or you and your partner can’t seem to hear each other, especially in high-conflict moments. I offer a calm, nonjudgmental space to sort through attachment patterns, anxiety, and habits that make everyday life feel heavier than it should. I blend attachment-based care with Emotionally Focused Therapy and Psychodynamic and Relational Therapy to rebuild trust and communication. For anxiety, depression, and stuck patterns, we’ll explore the world of your inner child to shift into the more capable parts of you and align choices with your values. I also offer practical skill-building tools to foster connection and intimacy. If this resonates, let’s talk - reach out for a free 15-minute consultation to see if we’re a good fit.

I offer online counseling in the following states:
