Dr. Joyti Jariwala is a Provisionally Licensed Psychologist in Texas, currently practicing under supervision. She earned her Bachelor’s degree in Psychology from the University of Cincinnati and completed both her Master’s and Doctorate in Clinical Psychology at the Illinois School of Professional Psychology.

Joyti has several years of experience in private practice, working with young adults and adults navigating life transitions, emotional challenges, and complex relational stressors. She values creating a collaborative, thoughtful therapeutic space grounded in an understanding of how past experiences, cultural context, and internal belief systems shape present-day functioning.

Joyti has a particular interest in working with individuals navigating intergenerational and bicultural trauma, helping clients explore how cultural expectations, family dynamics, and inherited patterns influence identity, relationships, and self-concept. She also works with anxiety, depression, grief, trauma-related symptoms, perfectionism, and relationship difficulties across family, romantic, and professional contexts, as well as major life transitions involving uncertainty or identity shifts.

Her therapeutic approach is collaborative, structured, and practical, balancing direct feedback with compassion. Joyti integrates psychoeducation, skills practice, and reflection or homework as appropriate, drawing from CBT, ACT, DBT-informed skills, exposure-based approaches, and trauma-informed frameworks. She emphasizes emotion regulation, mindfulness, and values-driven work to help clients feel less controlled by distressing thoughts and emotions while building flexibility and resilience. Joyti believes therapy is not one-size-fits-all and prioritizes tailoring treatment to each client’s unique needs, values, cultural background, and goals.

Born in India and raised in the United States, Joyti brings a bicultural perspective to her work, informed by her own experience navigating between deeply rooted cultural values and Western norms. Outside of clinical work, she enjoys traveling and exploring different cultures and values mentoring students and trainees as they develop confidence, clinical skills, and professional identity.
