About Anmol Arora (She/Her)

Anmol Arora, MD, is a board-certified psychiatrist who is dedicated to helping patients find lasting relief and healing through evidence-based mental health care. Dr. Arora recognizes that meaningful healing begins with feeling heard, understood, and respected and she strives to create a compassionate space where patients can speak openly about their experiences, concerns, and goals without judgment. At LifeStance Health, she offers personalized medication management and supportive therapy for adults aged 18 to 64.

Dr. Arora values a holistic and biopsychosocial approach to treatment, grounded in understanding individual experiences and backgrounds to collaboratively develop thoughtful, individualized treatment plans that reflect patient’s needs, values, and priorities. Whether through supportive psychotherapy, medication management, or a combination of approaches, she places an emphasis on clinical partnership with patients to help them better understand themselves, navigate challenges with greater clarity, and develop the tools and support they need to move toward a more meaningful and fulfilling life.

With a focus on building a therapeutic environment that fosters safety, trust, resilience, and recovery, Dr. Arora supports patients in navigating challenges related to mood, anxiety, emotional regulation and attention deficits. Her care approach includes a deep understanding of how suffering impacts daily life, relationships, and overall functioning, and she collaborates closely with her patients to implement tailored treatment plans that empower them toward sustainable progress.

She provides holistic and inclusive care to diverse populations, including members of the LGBTQ+ community and military veterans. Dr. Arora incorporates interventions such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and mindfulness-based techniques to support symptom relief and long-term well-being. In addition to her areas of focus, she also treats conditions such as depression, insomnia, psychosis, and women’s mental health concerns, including postpartum anxiety and depression.

Outside of her clinical work, Dr. Arora enjoys hiking and running with her dogs, practicing yoga and meditation, traveling, and exploring different cultures through coffee and cuisine. She brings this same curiosity and attentiveness into her therapeutic work.

See what our patients are saying about Anmol Arora

Dr. Arora is exactly what I needed in a psychiatrist—someone who not only manages my care, but understands me beyond the surface. She has a unique way of being both firm and compassionate, and even when she challenges me, it’s clear it comes from a place of genuine investment in who I am and who I’m becoming. She’s helped me take my health and my future more seriously, and that impact goes further than I can easily put into words. There’s a sincerity in the way she listens and shows up that sets her apart—it makes you feel seen, understood, and supported in a way that stays with you. I’m truly grateful for her guidance and the consistency she brings. It’s rare to find someone who can make such a meaningful difference just by being exactly who they are.

Grateful for Dr. Arora. During the lowest parts of my life, I feel like I am being heard. Personally speaking, I’m In the middle of co-parenting a 2.5 yo, a job that refused to accommodate a shift necessity, ultimately made the decision to move from SD to my home town. Given my history, 11 years of pediatric RN experience I am receiving the time off away and properly take care of my mental and personal well being. This time allows me to focus and give back to myself. Fill up my own cup. I appreciate her and her office for always making the process seamless and stress free.

Arora, Anmol MD was exceptionally kind and attentive. She truly listened to my concerns and made me feel heard and valued. I’ve been nervous about starting medication, but her willingness to accommodate my needs and begin with small, manageable doses gave me a sense of reassurance. I’m genuinely thankful for her thoughtful approach and the care she provided.

Wonderful person. My initial feeling after our first appointment is that she cares more about the patient than the medication. Easy to talk to, and excellent bedside manner. The feeling is safe, free of over opinionated judgements, and that this extremely soft spoken person likes to help people with the most difficult parts of their life.
