About

I’m Anjali Kothari and I’m a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT). I was born and raised in India. At eighteen, I moved to England for college where I gained a PhD in the Sociology of the Family from the University of London. My dissertation research explored the changing roles and relationships of women in middle class Indian families within the context of globalization. This research led to a deep interest in how our family relationships influence us as individuals. At this point, I had moved to the United States where I studied for a clinical degree in Marriage and Family Therapy at the University of Connecticut. 

Prior to opening my own practice, I worked at The Bridge Family Center in West Hartford, CT where I provided outpatient counseling to clients in the community and in-school counseling to students in West Hartford Public Schools. Now, I work with individuals, couples, and families in my private practice. My specialties are grief and loss, anxiety, depression, and life transitions. Additionally, I particularly enjoy working with South Asian and Indian American clients experiencing life stressors and acculturation issues. 

If you’d like to hear more about my approach to working with clients, please contact me for a free consultation and we’ll see if we’re a good fit.
