Reba Arora

Reba Arora

Therapist

Virtual • Illinois


You deserve a therapist who knows the terrain. I’ve been where you are. I have experienced mental health from every angle—as someone who has done the deep personal work, as someone who has navigated the pain of losing loved ones to suicide, and now as a therapist. When I suggest a tool or a shift in perspective, it’s because I practice what I preach. I know the freedom that comes from setting boundaries and building a life you truly love, and I want that same transformation for you.

A perspective shaped by the world. Growing up with over 30 exchange students from around the globe taught me early on that everyone’s "normal" looks different. This curiosity follows me outside the office, too. I’m currently on a mission to spend at least one night in every state—I only have five left to go! This love for travel and culture keeps my mind open and my spirit curious—traits I bring into every session we share.
