Vi Patel, MHC

I am committed to supporting individuals as they navigate life’s challenges with increased ease and self-understanding. I aim to create a safe, collaborative, and nonjudgmental space where clients feel seen, heard, and empowered. Utilizing evidence-based practices such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and mindfulness-based approaches rooted in my personal background, I work with clients to explore themselves, build emotional awareness, and develop coping strategies that foster self-awareness and strength. I believe in the power of honesty, empathy, and cultural sensitivity in the therapeutic relationship, and I bring these values into every session. I have experience supporting clients dealing with substance use challenges and a range of other mental health concerns. I connect deeply with the struggles and questions that often come with emerging adulthood, and I’m committed to walking alongside clients as they figure things out. As a native speaker of English, Hindi, and Gujarati, and conversational in Korean, I strive to meet clients where they are—linguistically, emotionally, and culturally.
