About Me

Welcome to Lotus Family Therapy! I'm Sangita Biswas, a marriage and family therapist, and I look forward to welcoming you to my practice. I am excited to help you begin your journey towards healing and growth. As an Indian immigrant myself, I understand the challenges of acculturation and the complexities of navigating cultural differences. With over a decade of experience, I provide counseling and therapy to individuals and families from diverse cultural backgrounds. In my practice, I create a safe and welcoming space where clients can explore their unique experiences and relationships.

Whether you're struggling with parenting conflicts or seeking to understand your own cultural identity, I'm here to support you every step of the way. At Lotus Family Therapy, I believe in meeting you where you are. Our sessions are free from jargon and filled with warmth and understanding.

I'm passionate about advocating for therapy within the South Asian community, helping individuals and families recognize the benefits of seeking support. Beyond therapy, I'm also an artist, drawing inspiration from various Indian tribal and folk art forms. Self-care is essential to me, and I'm committed to helping you embark on your journey of mental health wellness.

"It has been our pleasure to work with Sangita Biswas for the past two years, in bringing ground breaking workshops and mental health tools to the local Bay Area community. Sangita holds an extraordinarily deep understanding of the needs of the South Asian community and has honed her prowess as a therapist and mental health provider, to streamline care of our local communities. She is a skilled expert in providing educational workshops and teaching essential skills on critical topics such as self care, boundaries, self compassion, healthy parenting, coping with anxiety and more! Sangita co designed and launched Narika's Prevention Program SAPHAL (South Asian Parents Heal and Learn), which has garnered national attention. She is also one of the key topic experts featured on our parenting podcast, Koshish. We are honored to have collaborated with her for Narika's mission and hope to see her expertise benefit many more in our community.
