Shruti Patel, MA LCPC

HEAL Psychotherapy encompasses the tenant that we hold the unique ability to attain Healing towards Empowerment, Acceptance, and Love for self. With adequate support and compassion, I believe therapy has a power to heal, enhance growth, and obtain inner peace. As a psychotherapist, I strive to empower my clients by building on their own strengths and encouraging insight within a nurturing environment. Together we can identify goals to facilitate growth and healing. My specialties include trauma therapy, domestic violence/sexual assault counseling, substance abuse, and empowerment training. I have several years of experience in working with clients struggling to overcome trauma, depression, anxiety, self-esteem/body image concerns, women's issues, relationship concerns, and troubles with adjustment and life transitions. My approach to therapy takes into consideration each person's unique needs and experiences. Therefore therapy is molded to fit the client's needs and comfort levels. Therapeutic approaches include Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Mindfulness, Solution-Focused Therapy, and Client-centered approaches to treatment. I am experienced in working with multicultural populations and incorporate cultural sensitivity within the therapeutic process. I am fluent in Gujarati and Hindi. I also understand and respect the delicate nature of finding a therapist that best fits your needs and am happy to provide an initial consult to explore as such prior to scheduling.
