About Aravind
Aravind Arunachalam, LMHCA (pending)
You’re doing everything right on paper. Your mind just won’t stay quiet.
You’re functioning. You show up and get things done. But inside, your mind won’t settle. Maybe it’s OCD – intrusive thoughts that feel impossible to shake, or rituals that bring only a moment of relief. Maybe it’s anxiety and the constant “what-ifs” that follow you everywhere. You want to feel like yourself again, be present, and stop bracing for the worst. But the harder you try to think your way out of it, the louder it gets, and managing it all behind the scenes is exhausting.
In therapy with me, we move at your pace. Instead of “I say, you do,” it’s “What do you think we can try?” We’ll set goals together and start with small, doable steps so your brain learns it can handle uncertainty without rituals or avoidance. Together, we’ll map your patterns, practice new skills, and build a path toward less time worrying and more time living your life.
Over time, the overwhelming thoughts start to lose their grip. The urges get easier to sit with. You lean on rituals less and trust yourself more. Hard days may still happen, but they feel manageable, and calm moments start to become the norm. If you’re ready for relief, reach out to schedule a free consultation.
Training & experience
I hold a Master’s degree in Applied Clinical Psychology from Pacific University. I also trained and worked at Collective Care Clinic, an intensive outpatient program for people living with OCD, anxiety, depression, and related conditions. There, I worked with clients from 13 to 60+ using CBT, ERP, ACT, and Behavioral Activation.
I also serve on the board of OCD Oregon, where I’ve worked on OCD and anxiety advocacy and awareness across the state.
Aravind is completing his clinical supervision toward independent licensure under the supervision of Jasmine Gregory, LICSW.
