Great to meet you!

Hi, I’m Shikha Patel, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who specializes in working with adults navigating trauma, life transitions, and high-functioning anxiety. As a first generation South Asian American, I understand and empathize with the complexities of cultural identity and challenges with mental health.

My approach to therapy

My approach is collaborative, compassionate, and grounded in culturally responsive care. I integrate evidence-based practices like EMDR, mindfulness, and parts work to help clients heal from past wounds and feel more connected to themselves.

What you can expect from me

In our work together, you can expect a nonjudgmental space where your experiences are honored, and your strengths are celebrated. My goal is to help you gain insight, set boundaries, and feel more confident in your everyday life.
