How I Approach Mental Health

"Good mental health isn’t the end—it’s the foundation for a richer, more meaningful life."

What patients can expect in sessions

My style is warm, empathetic, and direct. I ask the questions you may not want to hear—but need to. Together, we’ll face what’s holding you back and work toward the strongest, truest version of yourself.

Their view on combining psychiatry + therapy

There’s no one right path—just the one that’s right for you. We’ll talk openly about the benefits and risks of both medication and therapy, then tailor an approach that fits your life, your values, and your goals in that moment.

How they personalize care

Personalization starts with conversation. We discuss everything—medication, therapy, and beyond—and make decisions together. I don’t prescribe a plan; we build one that works for you.

Tesmonial

I feel safe and heard with Dr. Patel. His care isn’t just about pills — he helps me explore my thoughts and emotions to get to the root of things.
