Niralee Patel, LPC, LMHC

As a licensed therapist with a trauma-focused approach, I am deeply committed to creating a safe, compassionate, and collaborative space where healing can begin. I believe that at the core of meaningful therapeutic work is the relationship between therapist and client—a relationship built on trust, respect, and authenticity. My goal is not only to help clients process their wounds but to walk alongside them as they rediscover their strength, resilience, and capacity for growth. I specialize in working with individuals who have experienced complex trauma, PTSD, childhood adversity, and emotional neglect. I also work with individuals navigating depression, anxiety, life transitions, and challenges related to self-worth and identity. My therapeutic style is warm, grounded, and relational. I integrate a variety of evidence-based modalities—such as TF-CBT, CBT, Art Therapy, DBT, and an overall eclectic approach —to meet each client where they are in their healing process and tailor treatment to meet your specific needs. I also incorporate somatic and mindfulness-based practices to support the body’s role in healing from trauma. Rather than offering one-size-fits-all solutions, I tailor treatment to each individual’s goals, needs, and pace. I understand that healing is not a linear process, and I honor the courage it takes to show up, especially when vulnerability feels unfamiliar or difficult. My aim is not to “fix” you—because you are not broken—but to help you reconnect with your inner resilience, develop tools for emotional well-being, and live life more authentically and fully. Whether you are beginning therapy for the first time or returning after a difficult experience, I welcome you into a space of empathy, curiosity, and growth. Together, we can explore what healing means for you and how to create meaningful change that honors both your past experiences and your current/future potential.
