MEET YOUR PSYCHIATRIST
Dr. Arpitha Krishna
MBBS, MD Psychiatry – NIMHANS | Founder & Consultant Psychiatrist
At Aralya, we believe that wellbeing is built through daily rhythm — movement, routine, creativity, nutrition, meaningful conversations and professional support. Founded by psychiatrists, Aralya is designed for people who need more than advice, but less than hospitalization — a safe, structured and warm space to rebuild emotional strength, confidence and connection.
What if the prescription was not only a pill, but a place?
A place to move.
A place to connect.
A place to heal.
A place to feel like yourself again
ABOUT DR. ARPITHA
CARING BEYOND MEDICINE
With over 10 years of clinical experience in psychiatry and mental health care, Dr Arpitha brings together strong academic training, compassionate listening, and evidence-based treatment. She has worked extensively with adolescents, adults, older adults, and families dealing with emotional, behavioural, cognitive, and psychiatric difficulties.
At Aralya, Dr Arpitha’s vision is to move mental health care beyond the consultation room. She believes that recovery is not only about medicines or symptom control, but also about rebuilding routine, movement, confidence, emotional expression, social connection, and a meaningful daily life.
Her approach is rooted in one simple belief:
“The best psychiatric care begins with listening. I try to understand every patient as a person, identify the root causes of their difficulties, and use the least medication necessary while combining evidence-based therapies to help them achieve lasting recovery.”
